This Generation III Classic Personal snowplow is the most recent innovation from SnowBear. This plow conveniently slides into your vehicle's front-mounted trailer hitch (sold separately) for easy, convenient mounting. It has a remote-controlled electric winch that will let you raise and lower the plow without leaving the warmth and comfort of your cab. The pivoting blade makes this plow ideal for rocky or uneven surfaces because it can adjust to the terrain. Angled trip springs are also built in to help keep the blade from catching and tripping.


Simple, Hitch-Mounted Installation

HITCH MOUNTING

This hitch-mounted snowplow simply slides into your vehicle's front trailer hitch receiver, making it a breeze to install. Unlike a plow that attaches to custom-fit brackets, which ties you down to just 1 vehicle, 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.


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


How to Plow

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 or 22 degrees 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 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 or the in-cab toggle switch, 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 Personal snowplow.


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


Easy Lifting with Electric Winch

WINCH

The electric winch on this plow allows you to easily lift and lower the blade using a toggle switch that mounts in your cab. You can also use the included wireless remote control. The winch uses a durable nylon strap, which is much quieter than a chain, to raise and lower the plow.

This little plow has been perfect for a Jeep Wrangler. I used it all winter and it kept the driveway clear, no complaints.



by: Bill M.03/14/2021

Install went perfectly. It all bolted up just how the instructions said it would. The hardest part was navigating your tools in the tight spaces. Having the deep sockets as suggested is definitely worth it. I was also able to utilize a cordless impact wrench and it helped a ton. This will work great for our bike rack.

Love it. It is secure and discrete and is great for a bike rack. Be cautious of what you hang up front, bikes or other types of racks might disrupt airflow into the radiator, which was expected, just keep an eye on temperature. The bolt up was secure and relatively easy.

Great front receiver hitch for my Chevy Silverado 2500 HD. Everything fit using OE bolts and nuts. Only the plastic trim had to be cut out to fit receiver. I had dealer do it, but would have done it myself when I was younger. etrailer is easy to order from and has good customer service.



by: John12/20/2023

It would have been nice if the gentleman who sold me my snow plow would have told me that I needed a drop down hitch instead of a straight hitch, which makes a big difference when trying to plow.

2013 GMC Sierra

Overall, my experience with etrailer was good. There was an initial delay in shipping, but once I talked to someone, everything went well. The help page was invaluable. The biggest help was the installation video. While there are slight differences between the 2011 GMC and the 2013, the process was the same. I am very pleased with the product and the support. Picture attached.

Great product! Super easy to install! This makes my winch twice as versatile. Thanks for a design that leaves the tow hooks in the truck!



by: Bill11/17/2023

The plow works ok. It's easy enough to get on and off the vehicle. Fatal flaw is the winch strap. I have replaced 3 times in one winter of plowing. If you purchase this product be sure to order extra winch straps!

This thing went on our 2013 Silverado 1ton truck without a problem. It did take two of us to hold it in
Place to get the first bolt back in but other than that it’s been flawless

Great product...I carry bicycles on the front of truck while towing a camper. Can also carry a cargo basket or winch on the front. Love it!

Best thing for carrying bikes on front of truck!



by: Chris z10/06/2019

Installed this hitch this morning 10/06/19. Was going to wait for help as arthritis in hands makes turn wrenches a chore but was bored so went ahead anyhow. This is my second front hitch install , first one on 2018 F-150. Today’s install on 2014 duramax 2500. Today’s install was super simple , used floor jack to hold hitch up in position, you need to remove four bolts on each side , I did try air tools on the 21mm bolts but not powerful enough so used small piece of copper pipe over wrench handle for leverage to loosen, air tools were able to loosen the six 18mm bolts , took me about an hour and a half by myself. The fit of the hitch was absolutely perfect! Had to cut a small piece of the air dam at bottom of bumper, used a hacksaw, very easy. The quality and coating on the hitch is top notch.

Excellent fit & function delivered in a reasonable amount of time. Although this shot is at our current campground in NJ, the hitch will be used to park my boat in its hard-to-get-to parking spot. Great job, Etrailer!

The hitch has worked out just fine for a variety of uses. I have always been impressed by all the _towing_ related articles purchased from etrailer.

Great product, easy to install. Had to cut the air-dam but no other alterations needed. It is a little low but no more so than the front of the truck air dam.

I use a motorcycle carrier on the front for my 125 scooter while pulling my fifth wheel. It is very secure and the finish has held up fine. I would recommend this purchase.



by: Brown09/18/2023

Perfect fit for my 2012 GMC 3500. Directions are excellent. It is a tight work space for some of the bolts. I've carried a bike rack with 130 lbs of ebikes for 600 miles so far and no problems.



by: Jerry B04/14/2017

As always, delivery was quick. Hitch was easy to install and works nice. We do a lot of camping and since very few of the travel trailer manufacturers recommend a trailer hitch (some will tell you it voids your warranty), we can carry our bikes up front with this hitch.

Excellent! As with every product i have purchased thru etrailer.



by: Robert 10/24/2023

I watched the attachment on how to install and video was spot on. The hitch is very well made. I'll enjoy this for years to come. Thank you

I love this plow. It works great for our long driveway. This was easy to assemble and easy to take on and off our Honda Ridgeline.



by: C.09/24/2020

I ordered a front hitch mount for our RV. Product is very heavy duty and priced right! I ordered on a Friday afternoon and had my part by Tuesday, very impressed. Will surely use this company in the future.

The hitch mount has worked great. Knowing it was machined for pick up trucks, I had no problem installing on a Freightliner chassis. Had to drill a few holes and fabricated a additional brace out of some angle iron for added piece of mind. I have no concerns about the sturdiness and integrity when using this mount.



by: Ed C08/05/2019

Installed on my 2012 Silverado 2500HD and it fit perfectly and was very easy to install. Cut my lower cowling to allow the hitch to protrude and it looks awesome! Very glad I purchased your product and would highly recommend to everyone!!

Still Rocking!I have used this many times and it is still a great product!



by: William07/24/2018

very sturdy product; installation was straight forward exactly as instructions indicated. I had planned to haul motorcycle on this front mount hitch with a carrier meant for a rear receive hitch. While i have not done so yet (lighting issues i need to resolve), this receiver will do the job. I also plan on picking up a receiver mount for a winch which could come in handy. Shipping was fast from etrailer. Overall great product and great service! I got just what I expected from the description.

Do you have a question about this Snow Plow?


  • Does SnowBear Personal Snowplow for 2 Hitches # SB324-080 Come with Winch
  • The SnowBear Personal Snowplow for 2" Hitches # SB324-080 that you referenced does come with a winch to allow it to raise and lower. There really isn't a good way to remove the winch to use it it in other applications.

  • How to Determine if the SnowBear Plow # SB324-080 Would Block Headlights
  • The blade height of the SnowBear Plow # SB324-080 that you referenced is 19 inches. Most likely your headlights will sit higher than this, but if you measure from the ground up 19 inches then you would know where the top of the blade would sit and whether or not the headlights would be blocked.

  • What Parts do I Need to Mount the SnowBear Plow # SB324-080 to My 2022 Jeep Wrangler?
  • I have an answer for you to connect the Snowbear # SB324-080 to your 2022 Jeep Wrangler. In the video you are referring to for the Curt Front Hitch - 2" # C31086, that shows the installation of the hitch on a 2018 Wrangler. While we do not have the ground clearance height of the hitch installed on a 2022 model, it most likely differs within a couple inches. Also, since the receiver tube measures 2 inches from inside the top tube to the inside of the bottom tube, the ground clearance is

  • Recommended Front Mount Hitch for Attaching Snow Plow to 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  • We do indeed offer a front mounted hitch for your 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee. You'll need the Curt # C31048. Once the front mount receiver is in place, you'll have the mounting point for a snow plow like the SnowBear # SB324-080. If you click the provided link, you can see the installation instructions for the hitch and the plow.

  • Where Does Curt Hitch Tube Opening Sit on 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee When Installed
  • I was able to find a better picture that shows where the hitch opening of the Curt front hitch part # C31048 will be when installed on a similar Jeep Grand Cherokee as your 2002 model that I attached to this page. It basically just sits right below the front bumper. I also lightened up the picture you mentioned so that you can see where it's at on that picture as well.

  • Correct Replacement Winch for SnowBear Personal Snowplow for 2" Hitches - 82" Wide x 19" Tall
  • The correct replacement winch for the SnowBear Personal Snowplow for 2" Hitches - 82" Wide x 19" Tall part # SB324-080 is the Replacement Single Speed Electric Winch part # SB263-282. There is not individual replacement parts for the winch unfortunately.

  • Recommended Snow Plow For A 1994 Jeep Wrangler
  • I can definitely point you in the right direction. If you are looking for a hitch mount plow we have the # SB324-080 from SnowBear. This is a 82" x 19" steel blade plow that has 9" of height adjustment. It uses an in-cab switch and also comes with a wireless remote control. Please note that the bottom of your receiver tube must be at least 13" from the ground in order to use this plow. We also offer the Detail K2 elite series plows for your 1994 Wrangler. I recommend the # K2RAMP8219ELT

  • Parts Needed to Mount Snow Plow to 2010 Ram 3500
  • The personal snowplows from SnowBear simply mount to a hitch receiver so to add one to your 2010 Ram 3500 you'll need the Curt # C31065. If you have the Winter Wolf edition that requires vehicle-specific mounting brackets then we'll either need to find you a different setup or you'll have to have a shop fabricate some mounts as SnowBear doesn't have any custom mounts for a 3500 Ram pickup. For the personal snowplow from SnowBear you'll need that Curt Front Hitch # C31065 and SnowBear

  • Front Hitch Plow Recommendation for 2004 Jeep Cherokee with 2 inch Hitch
  • For your 2004 Jeep Cherokee that has a 2 inch front hitch installed the SnowBear Personal SnowPlow part # SB324-080 would be a great option. This plow is 82 inches wide which is a good size for your vehicle and comes with everything needed to allow you to control it from inside the cab of your vehicle.

  • Snow Bear Plow Recommendation for 2008 Honda Ridgeline
  • You may not be able to use the Snowbear plot part # SB324-080 on the highway but you could still transport it in your front hitch to your other driveway as long as the plow was up off the pavement. You'd also need the front hitch part # 33328 installed on your 2008 Honda Ridgeline.

  • Is Bumper Modification Required to Install a Front Mount Hitch on a 2003 Dodge Durango
  • We have front mount trailer hitches available for the 2003 Dodge Durango as long as it is a 4WD model. At this time there are no front mount hitches available for the 2WD models. If you have a 4WD model, then I recommend installing the Curt Front Mount Hitch, # 31080. This has the highest vertical pull rating of our front mount hitches and it does not require any bumper modifications. The receiver will sit just below the front bumper fascia. I have attached the installation instructions

  • Snow Plow for a 2005 Honda Pilot
  • We have a plow for your 2005 Honda Pilot, but the Winter Wolf will not work. The 2005 Pilot is only compatible with front-mounted hitches. To use a plow on the Pilot, you will need the Snow Plow Personal, part # SB324-080, and the hitch for your vehicle, part # 33328. This particular plow is 82" wide and 19" tall.

  • Snow Plow Recommendation for a 2002 Jeep Wrangler
  • Actually SnowBear does not list a max height range for their snow plows like the part # SB324-080. Since you have a 2 inch front hitch installed on your 2002 Jeep Wrangler it should work well for you. I attached a review video for this plow for you to check out as well.

  • Can Draw-Tite Front Mount Hitch 65080 Mount Snow Plow
  • Yes, you can absolutely mount a snow plow like the SnowBear Personal Snowplow for 2" Hitches # SB324-080 you referenced on the Draw-Tite front-mounted hitch you asked about: - Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # 65080 This hitch, which fits 2007 and up Toyota Tundras and Sequoias, meets the necessary standards and has a 500 lb vertical load limit (which is like tongue weight for a front-mount hitch), and the SnowBear weighs 315 lbs, so it has more than the necessary capacity.

  • Does the SnowBear Personal Snowplow # SB32408031114 Have to be Manually Adjusted?
  • Yes, you will have to manually adjust the blade on the # SB324-080 to set the position to the left, right, or center. It features a manual release handle that is easily accessible from front or back of the plow. It does use an electric winch to allow you to automatically raise or lower the plow from inside your vehicle.

However, the Replacement Spring Kit for SnowBear Snowplows # SB600-128 comes with 2 springs and the hardware needed to repair the plow, so you would be able to replace your lost spring and still have an extra spring on hand in the event of a future loss or break.

  • Recommended Snowplow for a 2020 Jeep Wrangler

I recommend the SnowBear Personal Snowplow part # SB324-080 with Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C31086. The SnowBear plow has an 82" wide blade with electric winch that allows you to control it from inside the vehicle. The 2" hitch mount will make it easier to get the plow on and off the vehicle. We do not carry ACI plows unfortunately.

  • Are The Mounting Brackets The Same For DK2 And Snowbear Snowplows On 2002 Jeep Liberty
  • The Snowbear and DK2 snowplows require different mounting brackets. For example, in order to mount the Detail K2 Summit II Snowplow # K2SUMM8826 you would need Custom Mounting Brackets # K284121. You could, however, install Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver 2" # C31022 which could accommodate various snowplows from both brands. The Detail K2 Snowplow # K2AVAL8219 and SnowBear Personal Snowplow # SB324-080 would both would fit this 2" receiver.

In this price range for a bike rack I like to recommend the Hollywood Racks # HR200Z as it costs about the same and is much more stable on the road. If you check out the test course videos I attached you'll see how they both compare.

  • Correcting Gap Between Hitch Mounting Bracket and Truck Frame for Curt # C31023 Hitch

  • Will Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch 31023 Fit a 2011 GMC Sierra Denali 2500
  • The Curt front mount trailer hitch # C31023 does not exclude the Denali models of the 2011 GMC Sierra.

I have also included a link to a video showing a typical installation for you.
