Detail K2 Plow Length

The Detail K2 Elite snowplow conveniently slides into your vehicle's front-mounted trailer hitch for fast, simple mounting. Easily raise and lower the plow from the comfort of your cab with the remote-controlled wireless actuator. The pivoting blade makes this plow ideal for rocky or uneven surfaces because it can adjust to the terrain.


Simple, Hitch-Mounted Installation

This hitch-mounted snowplow simply slides into your vehicle's front trailer hitch receiver, making it a breeze to install. A plow that attaches to custom-fit brackets ties you down to just 1 vehicle. But this hitch-mounted plow can be used on most trucks or SUVs with a 2" x 2" front-mounted hitch. As a result, this plow can be easily switched between multiple vehicles. And because it offers a nearly universal fit, you won't have to buy a new plow when you replace your old vehicle.


Detail K2 Hitch Mount

To install the Elite snowplow, just slide the shank of the plow assembly into your 2" trailer hitch receiver (sold separately). Then use a pin and clip or a hitch lock (sold separately) to secure the plow in the receiver.


Detail K2 Caster Wheel

The Elite snowplow comes with flip-down caster wheels that make the installation process even easier on you. Simply flip the wheels into position and you will be able to roll the plow into position for mounting or storage. The height of the wheels can also be adjusted to match the height of your vehicle.


How to Plow

Detail K2 Adjustable Plow Position

Once the plow is mounted on your vehicle, lower the blade and set it to the desired angle. To set the angle, exit the vehicle and manually position the plow straight ahead, to the left, or to the right. Angling the blade allows you to push snow off to the side where you want it without having to change the angle of your entire vehicle. This is especially useful on a driveway or a private roadway where piling the snow straight ahead would create a barrier.


To begin plowing, just drive forward. When backing up to take another pass, be sure to lift the plow with the remote, then lower it again before moving forward. When approaching a large pile of snow, be sure to decrease your speed. Slamming into a pile of snow can void the warranty on the snowplow.


When you are finished, put your vehicle in park and lower the plow. Remove the plow from your vehicle after every use.


Smooth, Controlled Lifting with Electric Actuator

Detail K2 Elite snow plow actuator

The electric actuator on this plow allows you to lift and lower the blade using either a toggle switch that installs in your cab or the included wireless remote control.


To raise the plow, use the switch or remote to activate the actuator. As the actuator moves along the internal screw, the arm on top of the actuator will pivot, raising the plow blade by pulling the chain that is attached to it. This simple, chain-lifting design has fewer moving parts than other plow-lifting devices, so the setup is less complicated and there are fewer parts to have to repair or replace.


This actuator lifts and lowers the snowplow blade smoother than an electric winch. In addition, fewer amps are required to run an actuator than to operate an electric winch, which means that the solenoid on the Detail K2 Elite will last twice as long as the solenoid on a plow that uses a winch. There is also a built-in clutch that prevents damage to the actuator if you try to raise the blade too high or drop it too low. The electric actuator is built to withstand extreme temperatures and wet conditions with its completely sealed gearbox and housing.


Detail K2 Features

Detail K2 Skid Shoes

The snowplow features skid shoes that allow you to adjust the height of your plow. This allows you to efficiently plow over surfaces that are uneven, such as gravel roads.


Detail K2 Blade Stiffener

Blade stiffeners, or blade support brackets, reinforce the connection between the plow and your vehicle. They add 2 additional points of contact with your hitch on either side of the plow's T-frame. This prevents stress on the frame and on your vehicle, while also strengthening the performance of the plow.


Detail K2 Trip Springs

Shock-absorbing springs allow the plow to dip forward in the event that you hit an obstruction. This flexibility protects you and your vehicle from impacts.

GMC Jimmy

product fit fine, install was about 30 minutes...maybe a bit less. Only needed two sockets, extension, ratchet and torque wrench.
Shipping was quick.
Only issue I had: product was not listed as fitting a two door Jimmy/Blazer. Contacted e-trailer and they said it would not work. Called Curts and they confirmed that it WOULD work. Also, since I have both a 2 and 4 door, I could not find any differences in the vehicles. Other than that, it was a fine transaction.

This is the 5th trailer hitch that I have ordered from etrailer.com. They have all worked great. On Monday I called and spoke with Amanda about a front hitch for my S10. I received it Tuesday afternoon. I had it installed within about 30 minutes, though I could have done it in about 10 using an impact driver. It went on perfectly and works great. It is a strange thing to "back" my trailer up with it in front of me. I am not sure how it would work with a very large or enclosed trailer (mine is not.) It works great and looks beautiful on the front of my truck. Thanks again etrailer for a great hitch.

Very solid construction. Package arrived very quickly and installation went smoothly after watching the video on the web site.

I simply love it, it does everything I need it to do.



by: Hank B06/03/2013

As usual the Curt Hitch Company hits a homerun.

I
have used or installed many Curt Hitches both for my personal use and recommended use for friends use.

They are in my opinion are top of the line Hitches. Well made with clean welds and an excellent powder coating finish.

Strong and reliable construction with a perfect fit and unlike many other brands they are an AMERICAN MADE PRODUCT.

Great Value you can not go wrong buying a Curt Hitch.

I bought the same front hitch from [online]. Tried to install it and was off by 1/4 inch. Had to send it back. Same day I bought the hitch from etrailer. They mailed it to me the same day and it arrived one day early. I just installed it with no problems. Fits perfectly.



by: Dennis05/03/2019

I received my front receiver hitch and was happy that it was packaged well without being over-packaged. It arrived sooner than expected which was nice and had no scratches or dings from shipping. I bought this for a custom application I'm planning and the price was under what I had anticipated I'd be spending. The whole process was very pleasant.



by: Leo H.08/05/2016

Easy to order, informative video, able to view shipping, packed well ( included written instructions were too general but used the video as a better source on instructions ), easy installation within unpacking, searching for my tools, rolling on the garage floor ( no need to jack up front of vechile ), and testing new front hitch in forty-five minutes. Thank you !

Ask the Experts about this Snow Plow
Do you have a question about this Snow Plow?


  • Will A Leveling Kit Be Required To Use A DK2 Elite Snowplow
  • The Detail K2 Elite Snowplow for 2" Hitches # K2AVAL8422ELT doesn't require a leveling kit or list any specific heights that the front-mounted hitch needs to be at so you should be fine without one. That being said you are adding a considerable amount of tongue weight to the hitch so you could run into very little clearance between the ground and snow plow components. This plow has a shipping weight of 334lbs so you can expect it to be close to 330lbs once all the packaging is removed

  • You can use the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" # 31604 on your 1997 Dodge Ram 2500 with Extended Cab and long bed, which would give you the front mounted hitch receiver you need to carry the Detail K2 Avalanche Elite Snowplow for 2" Hitches - 84" Wide x 22" Tall # K2AVAL8422ELT.

  • What Is the Required Receiver Height for the Detail K2 Avalanche Elite Snowplow
  • The Detail K2 Avalanche Elite Snowplow part # K2AVAL8422ELT will work with a front mount trailer hitch that is between 9" to 18" from the ground to the bottom inside edge of the receiver tube according to Detail K2. The blade height is adjustable which is why there is such a large range. If your front mount trailer hitch is not within this range then your only option is to use a drop front mount trailer hitch. If you can let me know the year, make, and model of the vehicle I can see

  • Replacement Option For Bent 84" Snowplow
  • We may have the replacement parts you are looking for, but I would need to know the brand and model of your current snow plow to confirm the correct parts. If there are not parts available, or if you would rather not deal with having to change them another option is to replace your current plow with a similar snowplow like the 84" wide x 22" tall Detail K2 Avalanche Elite Snowplow for 2" Hitches # K2AVAL8422ELT which can be angled 45 degrees to left and right or can be used straight

  • Recommended Snowplow for a 2024 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
  • I recommend using the Detail K2 Elite Snowplow # K2AVAL8422ELT on the front of your 2024 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. This will attach using a Front Receiver # C31086 so you will be able to easily remove and install the plow when needed. I prefer this plow as it uses an actuator which is better than a winch style since you do not have to worry about snow and ice collecting in the cable/strap.

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2002 Chevy S-10 Manual Transmission
  • From the research I did it looks like a drive shaft disconnect is recommended for flat towing your 2002 S-10. This is surprising to me though since typically manual transmission vehicles are good to go as-is for flat towing. All you usually have to do is put the vehicle in neutral and it is ready. However, the owners manual of a vehicle is the final authority on flat towing procedures for a vehicle. As long as your S-10 is a 2 wheel drive truck the correct base plate kit would be the

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2003 Chevy S-10 ZR2 Behind an RV
  • I spoke with my contact over at Blue Ox and he said that # BX1616 base plates are the ones that you can use for your 2003 Chevy S-10 ZR2 and you should be good to go. For a compatible tow bar I recommend the Alpha, # BX7380. This tow bar is rated for 6,500 pounds and comes with safety cables. For lighting I recommend going with a magnetic kit # RM-2120 because it is low cost, easy to set up, and bypasses the vehicle wiring. You may also need a high/low adapter to keep the tow bar

  • How to Tow a 2000 Chevy S10 Behind a Motor Home as Inexpensively as Possible
  • There is certain equipment required by law to flat tow a vehicle. That equipment includes base plates, a tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking. If you just need to tow the 2000 Chevy S10 once or twice, the expense is likely not worth it. But if you flat tow the truck often behind a motor home then you are going to need these items. Check the S10 owners manual to see if it can be dolly towed (with the front wheels up on a dolly). If so you could rent or otherwise

  • Which Front Hitch Fits a 2002 Chevy Blazer ZR2 4 Wheel Drive
  • I have a solution for you, but the Curt # 31021 does not fit the ZR2 models of the 2002 Chevy Blazer. The Draw Tite Front Hitch part # 65004 is designed to fit the ZR2 models though and would be what you need.

  • Will the Curt Front Trailer Hitch fit a 2WD 2001 GMC Sononma
  • Unfortunately not, the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # 31021 is specifically designed for the 4WD models only. I did some digging around and it doesn't actually look like there are any front trailer hitches for a 2001 GMC Sonoma, so, your only real option would be to have one fabricated using something like the Curt Weld On 2" Receiver # E17.

  • Can a Grille Guard and Front Mount Hitch Both be Installed on a 1999 Chevy Blazer
  • If you go with the Aries grille guard # AA4044 for your 1999 Chevy Blazer then it can work with Curt front mount receiver # 31021. The Aries guard mounts through where the tow hooks are on the front of the vehicle (see instruction link). The Curt hitch mounts to the bottom of the frame. It will be close as far as the hitch cross tube and the body of the guard but I am confident that it will work with little to no modification.

I have included a link to the installation details for you. This hitch would be great for a snow plow. It has a 2 inch receiver which is what you will find on Class III hitches.
