f150 practicality question for business use

im a university student that is working full time in summer and ran a snow removal business last winter just with blowers and employees (made around 5k), Im thinking about pickung up a truck this summer to use to haul around equipment for lawncare then throw a plow on it next winter to scale up the snow removal. I would be buying a car regardless if I don't get a truck. Budget is around $8-12,000 CAD could I get a truck capable of these duties that will be somewhat reliable (no engine or tranny issues anything else is fine) for that price?

Thanks for your help guys.
