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.
Features:
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 fully welded, corrosion-resistant trailer hitch receiver. Perfect for winches, spare tire carriers and more.

Draw-Tite's Tested Tough program provides testing standards far superior to those outlined by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), the go-to source for engineering professionals.
Each Draw-Tite trailer hitch receiver undergoes extensive fatigue testing and static testing with the ball mount that is either supplied or recommended for use with that particular hitch, thus ensuring results that are applicable to real life use. Fatigue testing is also conducted on hitches rated for use with weight-distribution systems.
In addition, Draw-Tite performs static testing on a simulated automobile, as opposed to the rigid fixture used for SAE testing, resulting in a more true-to-life scenario.

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.
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!!
The packaging needs additional crush protection. While it’s difficult to damage a trailer hitch, the box was mangled and the hitch is missing paint and has jagged edges of flaking paint all over. I’ll spend time repairing the finish on the hitch after paying good money for what should’ve been a product in brand new condition.
Perfect fit on my 2020 Chevy 2500HD. I didn't even have to trim the lower plastic spoiler. Install took about 20 minutes. Can't wait to try it out for my motorcycle carrier. As always, etrailer gives great, speedy service.
With it being a new product for the 2021 GMC they said it would fit. I was a little nervous but it fit well. I had it professionally installed and the installer commented on how much nicer this was to install then on other models.
I took a picture looking down from the top of the bumper so you can see it does not stick out. We have a bike rack with the bend in it and it is still plenty distance away from the bumper and grill
Very happy..
I added some pictures 2021 GMC 3500 HD Dually Diesel
The front receiver hitch bolted on with ease it works great with our surf rack for the truck
Front hitch fit 2022 GMC 2500 AT4. Shipping box had some damage but I’ll paint the chipped area. Great product.
Great directions and installation was very easy
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.
Easy installation. Good upward angle when mounted for ground clearance and good looks. Best front mount I’ve ever had, with a good price! 2021 GMC 2500 HD.
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.
The item was quickly shipped. Unfortunately, the packaging wasn't effective at keeping the hitch in the box and paint chipped. UPS used a lot of tape to hold it shut. etrailer did respond and gave me a credit for the touch up painting and inconvenience.
The hitch went on great.
Just follow the instructions
delivered on time, installed by myself in around an hour, and no trimming was needed on my 2020 Silverado 2500HD
Installed on my 2022 2500 Denali in about 15 minutes without any cutting
Well worth the money! No longer having to worry about someone else coming to plow is a God send!!!
Need to rethink your packaging. Box was torn, paint was scraped off. Nothing a can of rust-prevention spray paint couldn't fix, but still, a small nuisance. I've read this complaint before in other reviews, so it wasn't a big surprise.
Instructions were clear, but estimated time (30 min.) must have been for guys with lifts and pneumatic tools. It took me about an hour and a half, crawling under my truck with hand tools. I recommend checking the sizes of the nuts/bolts before crawling under the truck. What I thought was a 18mm bolt head turned out to be 19mm. Again, small nuisance at worst. Having a second person to read the instructions and hand you tools/parts would be helpful.
Receiver Fit perfectly. All in all, I'm extremely happy with my receiver. Would recommend.
As stated by many other reviewers, it broke open the box. Needs to be packaged more securely. Ups
Doesn’t care and we paid good money for this product.

I am sorry to hear that the hitch broke through the box. I will have our Customer Service team reach out to you in case that there was any damage to the hitch.
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.
The product itself was very good and the installation was easy however the design could have been better, on my2022 GMC2500 I didn’t have to trim the air dam at all because it hardly touched, I would have gladly cut a 2 or 3 inch notch to jet more ground clearance. If the receiver tube was welded on top of the frame it would have a much better setup.
Mounted on a GMC 2500
Easy install
Several thousand miles with my bike rack mounted
Very strong assembly
Works great
Very easy to install, no issues. Installed it by myself in less than an hour. We use it for a front bike rack for two fat tire ebikes while pulling our trailer
As always I received my hitch in a very timely manner, good pricing, excellent videos about installation.
