I would completely disagree with this statement.
I have plowed snow with everything from a garden tractor to an articulated loader. Virtually each removal device has a circumstance where it is the best thing for that specific instance. Taken as a whole, a pickup truck with attached plow is the most versatile, efficient and safest of them all.
Since I retired from commercial snow plowing, my pickup gets less than 2000 miles per year and is often stored outside. I have yet to have rodent problems, but, yes, I do have to move it around once in a while. I keep it plated and insured to use year around, drove it today, in fact.
To the OP, the newer plows stick out farther also due to the way the plow frame mounts to the truck- most disconnect the majority of the frame, lights and pump with the plow. I have used ballast in the bed of the truck, but it was more to level the truck to compensate for an extra-heavy plow. Typically, the weight of the plow combined with the motive force of the front axle in 4X4 mode is more than enough for traction. Shopping plow services now, you may find it economically advantageous to hire it done.
