Hitch-mounted residential plow has shock-absorbing springs and a steel-edge blade to easily clear driveways and parking lots. Remote-controlled electric winch lets you raise or lower the 3-position blade 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 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.

Perfect for winches, spare tire carriers and more.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.
Bought this DK2 plow in Jan 2023, and naturally we had no more snow the rest of the winter. Just got to use it last week after getting a foot of snow. Worked great, easier than I expected. The written instructions could’ve been a bit clearer on how to attach the assembled plow to the truck, but it was easy enough to figure out. Very happy with the purchase
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
Excellent for a home plow! Does the job but hard to use in heavy wet snow but good for the average snow fall
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 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
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.
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.
Haw some services at purchase and same for delivery using the tracking system this was not my first purchase with trailer and it wan’t be the last good work Jessica
Thanks
I needed to install this item on a new truck to enable hauling a handicap scooter while also towing the camper. Item looks good and fit perfectly. Easy installation with included instructions although it might have been even quicker if the two 1/2 carriage bolts that were supplied had been 1/4" shorter in length. Also plan on using with a winch at front of the vehicle.
Excellent product! Well thought out install instructions. The directions and simple special tool provided for blind install of rear support bolts especially clever. One suggestion, instructions suggest taping lower washers in place prior to installing hitch and associated nut. I find even with a pretty new truck the frame is pretty greasy, and even when cleaned tape is a poor choice to hold heavy washers. Instead, I threaded a 6” zip tie through the washer, frame and upper spacer hole, and has sufficient room even with the carriage bolt in place. Tightening the zip tie holds the washer and spacer in place even when moved a bit by putting the hitch in place. Loosely installing the rear nuts, and then clipping the zip tie and removing it allows the installation to be completed with no trouble or the frustration of tape losing its grip at a critical moment.
Very easy installation. Was about 30 minutes start to finish. Installed in front of my 2022 GMC 2500 for a rack to carry scooters on.
First of all, the delivery was quick! I have only now had the chance to mount this to my '21 Silverado 2500. The directions were great, everything was exactly as shown. It went much quicker than I thought it would. The hitch receiver appears to be well built with solid welds. Can't wait to use it.
