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.
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 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.
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.
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.
Easy Lifting with Electric Winch
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.
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.

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!!

Very pleased with front mount trailer hitch from etrailer. I installed it on a 2002 dodge Dakota 4x4 to move my camping trailer around. I removed my front bumper (4 bolts and 2 wire from fog lights) very easy. I hit a deer years back and my front end was damaged,it was fixed, but when I went Hook up front hitch ,the bolts holes were off about by 1/4“. I solved the problem with Aluminum racing jack and 4 ton porta power to align holes in frame and hitch. The whole process took about a hour. I would suggest to hook front bolts over front axel plate first.The hitch is now the strongest part on my truck. Like I said my mounting holes were off due to hitting deer. Moving my trailer from the front is so much easier,I can hook it myself and I,m mid 70,s.etrailer is great, always a good experience with great customer service

1993 Chevrolet Suburban
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.
by: John01/17/2023
The receiver works well. It was very difficult to install. The two middle bolt holes (where a skid plate may go) didn’t line up correctly l. It was the correct year, make, and model for the hitch and my truck. I just couldn’t get them to bolt up correctly. The hitch is just mounted to the frame rails.
by: Brad11/07/2022
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.
by: Chenoa08/18/2023
Was very pleased with the customer service the going above and beyond the helping me with my concerns the answering the phone right away and even following up with me after the package got delivered to make sure I received the package

Not on yet but looks rugged and I have a pintle adapter to bolt on and am going to make a plow for the front of my Dakota for snow. al ps , just for the shipping dept. ,the box was destroyed with the rear of hitch hanging out of box. I could have packaged it better. Please educate your people about pressure points . It should not have busted out in 4 or 5 places.

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.
by: Tp Thomas01/18/2020
Difficult to put together - manufacturing quality is terrible - holes drilled off of center, causing plenty of work-arounds. In the end, it was a small plow with a complicated and messy assembly instruction. I resold it for $100 to get rid of the eye-sore. I don't recommend this at all.

Works great even better than the old fisher plow even though this one swings manually, the blade goes much higher when pushing up banks of snow.

Seamless experience from purchase to delivery. My hitch arrived on time as promised, well wrapped and now all I have to do is get it attached to my Durango. I hope that goes as smoothly.

I had the hitch professionally installed. It was relatively inexpensive to have that done and I know what my area of expertise is and attaching trailer hitches is not that area. The hitch is working wonderfully well. I had it attached to my dodge Durango and used it to launch and recover my boat this summer. It made launching and recovering the boat so easy. If I had known how much easier it was pushing a trailer with the front of the vehicle versus backing a trailer down a little tramp I would have done this year’s ago. The trailer hitch worked perfectly.

This was and still is a great hitch , use it more in the winter than summer , I would use these people over and over again GREAT people to work with .

Fit like a glove but a slight pain to install by myself. A floor Jack helped a lot. For my 2000 dodge Dakota SLT 4x4 quad cab the only thing I would change would be longer bolts for the center mount to allow reattachment of the skid plate.

Decent plow for the price.
I installed this DK2 Avalanche on a 2003 GMC Yukon 1500 with a Curt front receiver hitch 31302. If you have a side mount battery, you may need battery bolt extenders (Battery Doctor #30400) to make life easier. That said, the ring terminal connectors on the winch control box will be too small. Get ones that will fit the 3/8 inch stud and 12-10 AWG wire to replace the stock ones.
Manufacturer instructions are not very helpful, but Graz's Garage has a great install video on YouTube. He installed his on a 2020 Chevy Colorado Z71. You can always count on a gearhead from Detroit. eTrailer is awesome at responding to concerns, too, and I'm glad I bought this product from them.

Do you have a question about this Snow Plow?
- Can you Install a Snowplow on a 2017 Ram 1500 4x4 with Electronic Steering Assist
- I spoke with all of the snowplow manufacturers we carry and none of them have ever heard of or had any issues with installing a snowplow on a 2017 Ram 1500 4x4. I would call the dealer to see if they say otherwise but I would not consider the statement to be true as all of the manufacturers state they have sold snowplows for this vehicle and have not heard back about the problem you described.
For your Ram, I recommend using the Detail K2 Avalanche Snowplow part # K2AVAL8219 which installs

- All snowplow kits offered for the 2001 Dodge Ram 1500, shown on the linked page, exclude the Sport version from their fits. My technical contact at K2 advised that instead of a front-mount hitch you CAN use their Custom Mounting Bracket kit # K284309. This has no known compatibility issues with the Ram Sport according to my contact. With it you can use a plow like # K2RAMP8219.

- The Detail K2 Snowplow # K2AVAL8219 will fir your 2020 GMC Sierra 1500 even with the big 35" tires and lift. The potential issue is functionality. A plow attaches to your frame, which is now separated from your suspension by another 4 inches and then there's the distance to the ground depending on what size tires you're running. Using 35's will just make the distance even greater. That's where you'll see your plow not pushing properly. The plow needs to transfer and distribute loads back
