Should have a 4L80e trans which is one of the best auto transmissions for plowing or towing. Personally I would have rather had a 6.5 Diesel and a NV4500 but to each his own.  That is a different body style by the way.

I dont know anything about snow plows being from FL, but a dump bed is about the greatest thing next to sliced bread when you're having to take loads of construction trash or w.e. to the dump on a weekly basis.
