Hitch-mounted residential plow has shock-absorbing springs and a steel-edge blade to easily clear driveways and parking lots. 3-Position blade pushes snow straight ahead, right, or left. Wireless remote lets you raise or lower plow from your cab.

Specs:
The Detail K2 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 electric winch. The pivoting blade makes this plow ideal for rocky or uneven surfaces because it can adjust to the terrain.
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 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 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.
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.
The plow comes with a wireless remote that allows you to stay warm and out of the elements while still effectively controlling the plow. The remote operates on a 2.4 GHz frequency, allowing it to quickly send signals to the winch without experiencing delays. And because it's wireless, you won't have to run wires through your dash. Nor will you have to leave your window cracked open in the middle of a snow storm just so that you can run a wired remote into your cab. You will be glad to have it on those cold winter days.
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.
The electric winch on this plow allows you to easily lift and lower the blade using the wireless remote control. If you prefer, you can also install the included in-cab toggle switch to control the plow. The winch uses a durable strap, which is much quieter than a chain, to raise and lower the plow.
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.
Easily attach a variety of accessories to the front of your vehicle with this corrosion-resistant trailer hitch receiver. Perfect for winches, spare tire carriers and more.

Great easy plow to use. The hardware that came in was missing a couple nuts and bolts. Had to run to the hardware store a couple times to get the proper bolts and nuts. The plow doesn't come assembled. So expect a good evening to build this unit. First two years was great and the scraping was good. Back dragging slacks but again a lot of plows do that. So it's not terrible but does enough. Just leaves 1/4 of snow behind. But pushing snow forward works and scrapes nice on asphalt or concrete. The battery that came with the kit for the wireless controller didn't last 1 month. So be prepared to upgrade that. But it's been now on my 3rd year, one of the springs failed on it and currently searching for the replacement. The plow itself has a one year warranty so of course it's past due now. Overall it works and it's nice. Wish I had bought the power left and right but the manual lever works too. Also the side markers prematurely failed too so I had to buy meyer yellow ones from fleet farm. Cost another $xx. But I will update this as time goes.
It has been working very well as we have actually had a decent amount of snow so far this year. took a little longer than I thought it would to assemble and mount it but after it was on it works great and looks good.
For a business that is based on shipping everything they need to learn how to package stuff. Everything I received from a trailer comes damaged at this point.
The DK2 plow and hitch are awesome! As always, the communication from Etrailer from order to delivery is top-notch. Assembling the plow and mounting the hitch was easy. Took about 4 hours with me enjoying a few beers and taking my time one evening after work. Took on wiring the next day. I like a clean finish, so this part took me about 2 hours. I placed the control module on the fuse block as suggested (etrailer's videos are a BIG help). I placed the remote transmitter on the drivers side. I ran the plow lead down to the hitch from inside the vehicle. There is just enough wiring supplied and this allows me to tuck the connector inside the hitch when not in use. A hitch cover protects it from the elements. First use was 30" of snowfall! I plowed for about 3 hours straight. The engine compartment did get warm which made the control wiring warm and pliable; so the connector came out of the control module mid way through plowing. I used some dielectric grease and it stayed connected the remainder of my plowing. It takes some practice to hitch up to the plow easily. This set up took a beating first time out. Sure glad I ordered it!!
Installed on my 2019 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali. Shipping box was destroyed & poorly packed. Instructions were straightforward. Install took 1 1/2 hrs. I only trimmed the thin trim without cutting the skid plate. The receiver pushes up on the skid plate slightly, but I didn’t want to cut it. Should work great for my E-bikes when pulling the RV.
etrailer gave very good service at a good price! I couldn’t believe how fast this front hitch for my 2021 Silverado was at my door. It was so easy to install,45 minutes in my driveway, with no issues. Great step by step instructions. I elected to just take the lower valance off and probably leave it off instead of cutting a hole in it, at least for now. This is my third truck that I have had with a front hitch on it and it is so nice for backing my pontoon boat or my 28’ enclosed snowmobile trailer into difficult places! As long as I have a trailer I would not be without a front hitch on my truck. Some people don’t understand “why a front hitch?” They have never used one and if they did they would know and understand why. Thank You etrailer.com
Installed on my 2020 Silverado in less than an hour. This is my 3rd hitch from E-Trailer. Fast delivery.
Tip: After installing the 7/16 hex flange nuts, I used washers between the 2nd 7/16 nuts to protect the holes in the skid plate.
Also purchased trim for the air dam cut out for a finished look. Heated with hot air gun to make it more plyable.
This trailer hitch fit perfect on my 2022 Chevy 1500 Silverado.
I did confirm with a /chevy dealer that the frame on a 2022 Silverado did not change from a 2021 prior to purchasing this hitch.
Installation took about 1.5 hours. Product arrived on time and installed as advertised in directions.
I’d give it 5 stars if the instructions were correct. This model does NOT require trimming of the plastic as the instructions say. Don’t do it. I’ll attach pics. The bumper brackets must be removed in order to get it to fit. That’s not mentioned in the instructions but is on other comments. It’s not hard. It really helps to have two people when lifting and bolting. A small impact wrench is nice too.
Overall, I was satisfied. Instructions could be more complete, and it was missing a few bolts and nuts. But Looks like a solid plow for the application I need.
The box came damaged, but no big deal. Hard to hurt this. My suggestion to add to the instructions are to also have an 18MM end wrench to go with the 18 MM socket, as the passenger's side bolt on the toe hooks needs a back up to loose. My impact drill/sockets helped a lot. The instructionss for the cut out are a little hard to follow, but I just cut a chunk out at the centerline 3" wide by 2.5" into the back of the air dam and it worked great. You have to get the passenger's side bolt where you removed the nut backed out until it's flush with the frame to get it in place on both sides. It took me a lot longer, but most of the time was lost because I didn't have an 18MM end wrencch, which I ended up going and getting. Electric sawzall worked great for cutting the air dam, and you could probably force the thing into place without cutting this. 2021 GMC Denali PU
Muche easier and quicker install on my 2020 GMC Sierra Doublecab. As a note, i didn't cut the front airdam. I removed the bottom piece (which had been chewed up a little bit by higher curbs and then was able to just slightly push up the air dam. My wife thought you couldn't even notice and certainly easier than cutting (because you can never put it back LOL).
Overall a quick install that went very easy. Very satisfied.
The plow works very well. It's not real heavy duty but it has been adequate so far. It went together quite easily and is fairly light and maneuverable when I take it off for the summer. I am glad it has the extra turnbuckle braces beside the receiver to stiffen it up. I almost wish I had gotten a wider plow. When I have it set for straight forward it is good but when I have it angled it is a bit narrow for my Suburban. One minor problem I had was when I hit a hard object and the plow snapped forward and down both of the little red plastic end markers that stick up broke off. Long exposure must weaken the plastic.
Nice looking hitch, however the instructions could be improved and the pictures depicting the instructions were almost unable to view.
For what the hitch costs how about some understandable color pics. The reciver is very low @8" off the ground on my 4wd. Could be re designed for more ground clearance. I'm sure ill have problems with the clearance issue

I recommend taking a look at the instruction details link on the product page as this will have colored pictures to reference. I checked and we do not currently offer a hitch that would give higher ground clearance for the 2020 Chevy Silverado 2020.
Received my Curt Front Mount Hitch in a big box with substantial amount of scars and holes in the box. Upon opening the hitch was literally just sitting in there with the little bag of install parts Packing tapped to the hitch. No Bracing, Packing Insulation or padding whatsoever. The hitch was fairly scared up but didn't look like there was any real damage. So I re-painted the unit and went ahead and used it. The instructions are pretty vague. Especially when it comes to cutting your lower Air Deflector. I will likely have to replace that piece when I sell my truck since figuring out that the 3" X 2.15" listed in the instructions is from the bottom. The way it was described I thought it poked through the Air Deflector.. soon learned I was wrong and ended up cutting the deflector way more than needed. Shame the instructions weren't better! Once installed it fit and works great.
Very simple install. Go to the online instructions if you want decent pictures but the diagram in the instructions was super helpful. I will say that if you have a trail boss or AT4 you will need to remove two bumper bracket guards. One 18mm bolt and one 10mm bolt holds the guards on. They will not be put back on after the hitch is installed. It took me an hour of trying to fit this thing to figure that out. Then I read it in several reviews and also noticed they were not present in the pics of the installation instructions.
Well worth the money! No longer having to worry about someone else coming to plow is a God send!!!
Product fit and installed as indicated; works great for my minimal plowing needs.
The box containing the hitch was in horrible condition which worried me a little. However the hitch was fine and fit perfectly. Excellent product!
Good for the price, really needs to be able to be able to angle from the cab of the truck. (deluxe model.)
I love having this plow easy to install, easy to attach and remove on my 2 door Jeep Wrangler. I would recommend it to everyone looking for a plow.
Would of gave it five stars but on the GMC At4 a (useless unused) bracket on each side of frame had to come off and stay off for it to fit.
The hitch appears to good and it looks like the installation kit was taped to the hitch
BUT the shipping box was destroyed and poorly taped back together

I’ve actually stopped using this and went to a full brushguard. It worked well. It does reduce the angle of inclination on approach when off roading. It was very strong though and did well winching.
