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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.

Love the plow.
Only downside is the outside bottom corners have bent backwards while plowing. I will have to straighten and reinforce those areas. I plow six different driveways. I was using a 4whlr plow for these before and it would take me several hours to all day, with this plow its less than 4hrs including driving time and I have vehicle heat. I've had many people looking, commenting and asking about this hitch system. I recommend it and give them the etrailer site for information and purchasing advice. This system is very impressive. Thank you.

Great VIDEOS and helpful questions and answers service. Fit my 2014 Silverado present and I had a good idea how the job would go before the hitch even showed up.A little slow on the shipping but other than that very happy with my purchase.

Purchased a front mount receiver hitch for my pickup from etrailer.com. The hitch mounted exactly as it said and was a super to install. I plowed snow all winter with a receiver plow. Now I move three times the snow now in a third of the time.

2014 Chevy Silverado. The hitch arrived in what seemed to be record time.
Install was very straightforward. The only issue was the front mounting holes were too small to accept the spacer and bolt. A little time with a die grinder was all it took.
Since I was installing alone I used a short pipe clamp to hold the passenger side in place instead of a jack.
Install time was 50 minutes.
I have a 2" leveling kit on the truck and ended up with 10-1/2" of clearance below the hitch.
Overall I'm very pleased with the hitch. My primary use will be to occasionally mount a winch on the front or back as needed.
by: Tom09/24/2019
This front hitch works well with my rod/cooler rack for surf fishing! I installed myself using the instructions. (Would've been easier with a second person!). It's low profile. I removed the air dam to make it easier for install and gain more ground clearance overall. I have a 2018 Silverado.
by: Mark D.06/03/2024
The one arm was bent on the hitch, requiring us to take the hitch to a body shop for controlled straightening. Other than that the hitch was short not allowing clearance between my bumper and the wench. This required an extension to move the wench further out from the bumper and allowing a pin to pass through the hitch attaching the wench.

2015 ChevroletSilverado 1500
The hitch quality is great the fit was perfect and mounting time was about 35 minutes.
One thing that would make the installation better would be to include 6 of the fishing wires instead of only including 2. When bolting the hitch to the frame it is real easy to push the bolts back up into the frame. With the extras fish wires you can just feed them through the holes in the hitch and not worry about losing the bolt. This would make it much easier to mount.With that being said I would recommend this hitch to anyone who needs a front mount hitch.

Excellent Best Hitch on the market.
by: James10/23/2023
This plow does not stand up to much use. I used it for my long gravel driveway and I was dissapointed in the durability of the plow. The plow bent near the cutting edge and twisted when I accidentally bumped into a rock when turning around. This plow is for light use only and it does not back drag snow well since it is light and does not have any down pressure.

The hitch came yesterday. It was packaged extremely well. The paint finish is great, I can't wait to install the hitch on the front of my pickup. It will be after Christmas now as too much to do to get ready for the holidays. After that I will submit a second review once the product is installed. etrailer is the best for products of this nature, always a good shopping experience . Thank you

Very easy install on 2017 sierra 1500. Took an hour by myself without jacking up truck. With two people and a jack could easily be done in no time. Jack is not needed but would’ve allowed a little more clearance to drill holes easier. Did not have to trim any of the fascia
by: Benjamin05/05/2021
Installation was easy even when combined with my grill guard.
Even so, I have three recommendations. 1) Remove the bottom plastic air deflector. This will help with installation and even more when inserting and removing hitches. 2) Install a 2" leveling kit to the front suspension. The stock ride height will let the receiver come in contact with high curbs when parking. 3) Use a hitch extension to get out in front of the bumper.

Hitch fit exactly as it should. Directions were clear, although I did watch an [online] video just to make sure I understood how to pull the bolts through the frame. It took me a little over an hour and a half to install by myself.

2016 Chevrolet Silverado
This is the 2nd Front Hitch that I have purchased through eTrailer, made by Curt.
My first was for my 2004 GMC Sierra. After several years pushing a driveway plow and launching & precisely parking boats,....I decided to buy a new 2016 Silverado.
The 2004 Hitch mounted with only 2 bolts on each side. There was clever use of the tow hook bolt & an open access hole. No holes needed to be drilled. I bent the plow rack & bent a hitch extender over the years but never compromised the hitch. I'm going to give this hitch to my brother for his 2015 Silverado 2500 for a front winch mount.
The 2016 Hitch used an access hole on each side and required me to drill 2 more holes on each side. This hitch is just as strong as the rear hitch,....probably stronger! The instructions suggested that I trim the airdam,....didn't have to. I pulled out one screw and bent the airdam over a little.
The other brand offered by eTrailer was recognizable, but not as well designed & made as the Curt.
Next truck I buy,...I'll be back to eTrailer for another Curt Hitch!
Oh,...incidentally; the website, ordering, delivery, packaging, instructions were all GREAT!,....and like most busy people, I don't have time to give this feedback, but eTrailer's Bill P. asked kindly & deserves it.

Extremely well engineer, simple and easy installation. Most people don’t realize how easy a front hitch can make putting a camper or boat into a tight spot. I’m very satisfied. This is my second purchase of a front mounted hitch, second vehicle.

Product mounted up perfectly and works great. I use it for a cargo carrier to haul my moped to the campgrounds. I get lots of looks and inquiries about it. I have NO complaints with this company and I've bought plenty of stuff from them. Customer service is outstanding and delivery is ahead of time.

2014 Chevrolet Silverado
Installed this on a 2014 Silverado 1500. Very easy install with two people for an extra set of hands to hold hitch up while marking drill holes and tightening the first 2 nuts to hold the hitch to the frame. I had previously installed a 2" front end leveling kit on the truck so the ground clearance difference is barely noticeable. I would recommend this hitch to anyone looking to put this on a similar truck.
by: Roger 07/05/2022
A great addition to any truck really and the price is reasonable. Easy to install with only 4 holes to drill in the front frame. Maybe 2 hours of work and it easily blends with the air dam under the front bumper. I use mine for a simple plow attachment to quickly clear my driveway. It's beefy enough to handle maneuvering a boat trailer into a tight parking spot also.
by: John01/15/2019
2018 ChevroletSilverado 1500
Great product, well built. went in just like the instructions said, though one must be very careful when positioning the hitch over the bolts coming down from the holes in the frame that are drilled. One bolt ended up being pushed up into the frame member and took 1+ hour to retrieve. Use the fish wires to extend from the bolts so if one (or more) ends up being pushed up passed the hole opening, it will be easy to retrieve!
Once in though, looked great and didn't even have to cut any of the "fascia" to fit the receiver.
by: Elizabeth06/23/2018
Was glad to receive my box early, however, the one brace on the hitch was 1/2" off and had to be pried out to fit properly...Not an easy task. As far as time installing the hitch, I am not a novice but it took me quite a while to install this. The fishing line kept going up, luckily i had long nosed pliers to pull it into place. All in all I am happy with the hitch.

- Recommended Snowplow for 2 Front Trailer Hitch on One Ton Pickup
- If you already have a front mount hitch then all you'll need is a snowplow which uses the hitch receiver for installation. The Detail K2 Elite Snowplow for 2" Hitches part # K2AVAL8826ELT for example is a great option with an 88" wide blade so it will be great for larger pickup like a 3/4 or 1 ton. It has a wireless remote so you can control the blade height from inside the cab on the fly and there are skid shoes so you can plow over uneven surfaces like gravel without damaging the blade.

- For your 2010 Toyota Tundra with a 2 inch front hitch we have great plow options like the Detail K2 part # K2AVAL8826ELT which can be raised and lowered from inside your cab with a remote setup but we do not have any options that allow you to remotely angle the plow blade from left to right. This plow is still adjustable in this way but you have to perform that adjustment manually.

- The Detail K2 Elite Snow Plow part # K2AVAL8826ELT that you referenced was designed to work with front hitches that install lower on the vehicle than your ecohitch.

- The Curt front hitch part # C31069 that you are interested in would install in the same frame holes on your 2015 GMC Sierra 1500 as the front hitch part # C31012 that you weren't happy with.
From the mounting surface to the bottom of the hitch tube on the # C31069 measures 9.52 inches. This should give you slightly better ground clearance than the Curt you already tried.

- I spoke to my contact at Curt and he informed me that the distance from the mounting surface of the Curt Front Hitch part # C31069 to the top of the receiver tube is right at 6-3/4 inches.
You will need to measure from the mounting point on your vehicle down 6-3/4 inches to determine where the hitch opening will be. For more install info check out the install instructions I attached.

- We had a customer come back and tell us that after the install of the Curt Front Hitch part # C31069 that you end up losing right at 1.3 inches of ground clearance. Since not all vehicles will sit at the exact height it's easier to determine the exact ground clearance you'd have by taking the 1.3 inches and subtracting it from the clearance you currently have.

- I attached a picture of how the Curt front hitch part # C31069 will look when installed on a truck like your 2014 Chevy Silverado 1500. The hitch pin hole is right behind the air damn. It is a little hard to see in the picture so I put an arrow on it to point it out.
view full answer... - Front Hitch Recommendation for Ground Clearance for 2017 GMC Sierra 1500
- All of the front hitches we offer for your 2017 GMC Sierra 1500 are going to install below the front bumper. The Curt part # C31069 will have the best ground clearance as it sits the highest and the hitch opening hangs down below the crosstube of the hitch unlike the Draw Tite.

The best way to determine if trimming is required is to raise the hitch into position. If needed, mark and trim the lower fascia or remove lower fascia. (See the linked installation instructions for the fascia trim detail).
