This Generation III Classic Personal snowplow is the most recent innovation from SnowBear. This plow conveniently slides into your vehicle's front-mounted trailer hitch (sold separately) for easy, convenient mounting. It has a remote-controlled electric winch that will let you raise and lower the plow without leaving the warmth and comfort of your cab. The pivoting blade makes this plow ideal for rocky or uneven surfaces because it can adjust to the terrain. Angled trip springs are also built in to help keep the blade from catching and tripping.

Simple, Hitch-Mounted Installation

This hitch-mounted snowplow simply slides into your vehicle's front trailer hitch receiver, making it a breeze to install. Unlike a plow that attaches to custom-fit brackets, which ties you down to just 1 vehicle, 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 Personal snowplow, just slide the shank of the plow assembly into your 2" trailer hitch receiver . Then use a pin and clip or a hitch lock (sold separately) to secure the plow in the receiver.

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 or 22 degrees 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 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 or the in-cab toggle switch, 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 Personal 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 a toggle switch that mounts in your cab. You can also use the included wireless remote control. The winch uses a durable nylon strap, which is much quieter than a chain, to raise and lower the plow.

I bought this after years of struggling to get a race trailer in the backyard. When I decided to move it about 12 feet to the right, I knew there was no way my F350 4X4 crew-cab could make the tight turns that would be required. After being able to position it on the first try, I realized I should have bought it 20 years ago.

The installation took two tries. Not sure if it because I’m 66 or trying to do it by myself. The key for me was to hook a couple of straps to it, unbolt it, and then put the bumper on the engine compartment. The first attempt was by trying to do everything from the backside. Once I removed the bumper completely, I was able to do everything from the from, so I was not completely blind in installing the two side bolts. The straps not only made it easier to reinstall it, they were useful in pulling up on side to level it.

I will be buying my son one for his 2016 F150 4X4816080

I should have done this when I first bought the truck.

by: Clarence02/02/2024

Package shipped and arrived quickly. Install was relatively easy, but took longer as the bolts were actually larger (7/8") - and I did not have a shallow socket for it that was also 1/2" drive for my torque wrench. I also needed remove the grill cover to have enough throw to tighten back on the bumper after the hitch was bolted on (which blocked access from the bottom). I would recommend getting some 9/16" shank carriage bolts to help align and secure the front flange while tightening the sides to the frame. I used a floor jack on level pavement to raise the hitch into position.

Overall - it looks great and functions well. Very stout and strongly built with superb welds and finish. This will make getting smaller trailers into tight spaces MUCH more easier and less of a headache/embarrassment. Plus it's also another point for recovery as an option for 4x4 or overlanding, and I also added a step to the front of it which makes accessing the back of the engine bay easier.1717408

by: Stacy M.04/18/2020

Very stout, heavy duty material. However, I had to make a modification, though I don't think it will affect the integrity of the hitch, not as a motorcycle carrier. I added an after market intercooler to my 1996 F530 at the same time I was adding this receiver. Unfortunately the receiver was not designed to accommodate an intercooler. I had to cut a notch on each side of the hitch receiver mounting brackets and run the side bolts the opposite direction as shown in the instructions. After a bit of work with the angle grinder and some fresh paint, everything fit very well together. Without the intercooler, no modifications would have been needed and would have fit like a glove.782725

It would have been nice if the gentleman who sold me my snow plow would have told me that I needed a drop down hitch instead of a straight hitch, which makes a big difference when trying to plow.1704152

by: Jay L.03/25/2014

First your tech assistance was great, was able to verify this is the right hitch to fit my truck, you really don't want to crawl under a truck and find out its the wrong configuration. Second, the shipping was fast, I will rate that as (four stars). Third and most important, the hitch was the easiest to install, it took me approx. 40 min. Thanks guys. We will buying more products from you.

Very easy to install. Can be done by one person but a second person is good to have around. I love this hitch. The price is great, shipping was free and it has saved me a lot of time moving things around in my shop. I have a ski boat and a bass boat. When pushing the boats back into the shop, the boat is more responsive to steering inputs allowing me to put it in tight areas quicker. Having the hitch up front lets me see what I'm doing better and it allows me to move things without a spotter if one is not available. Highly Recommended. 115036

Disappointment with the mounting hardware. The inventory list clearly describes the necessary hex bolts yet the packaging contained carriage bolts that cannot be tightened without a square punched hole in the frame rail instead of the drilled, round hole from the factory. If you buy this, plan on a trip to the hardware store and about $20 to get the necessary bolts. 103759

Patrick B.

10/15/2013

It sounds like the hardware packaged with the hitch from Curt was wrong. You should have received hex head bolts, not carriage bolts. As always, we can get the proper hardware to our customers, just let us know. We will be in touch.

Ford F-350 Super Duty

Excellent quality front hitch. Very stout. I ordered this front hitch to make my
93' F-350 more versatile. This allows me to use any receiver mounted attachments, like a portable electric winch, bike rack, motorcycle rack, support spar for roof carried boat, etc. It's also a great front anchor point to attach a tow strap or cable for pulling out folks who are stuck in the road in front of me without me having to turn around or try to go around them. And of course, it's fantastic for maneuvering trailers in difficult places. Etrailer is the best in the business.806148

Ford

Very pleased! Quick shipping and the hitch fit well.
Only problem (on Ford, NOT etrailer!) was that several of the bolts/nuts were hard to torque due to the positioning of the holes. Do-able but it took a while!
I've purchased several other hitches from etrailer and never any problems!
I would definitely recommend etrailer to anyone!1299786

• I have an answer for you to connect the Snowbear # SB324-080 to your 2022 Jeep Wrangler. In the video you are referring to for the Curt Front Hitch - 2" # C31086, that shows the installation of the hitch on a 2018 Wrangler. While we do not have the ground clearance height of the hitch installed on a 2022 model, it most likely differs within a couple inches. Also, since the receiver tube measures 2 inches from inside the top tube to the inside of the bottom tube, the ground clearance is

• Front Hitch Plow Recommendation for 2004 Jeep Cherokee with 2 inch Hitch
  
• For your 2004 Jeep Cherokee that has a 2 inch front hitch installed the SnowBear Personal SnowPlow part # SB324-080 would be a great option. This plow is 82 inches wide which is a good size for your vehicle and comes with everything needed to allow you to control it from inside the cab of your vehicle.

• How to Determine if the SnowBear Plow # SB324-080 Would Block Headlights
  
• The blade height of the SnowBear Plow # SB324-080 that you referenced is 19 inches. Most likely your headlights will sit higher than this, but if you measure from the ground up 19 inches then you would know where the top of the blade would sit and whether or not the headlights would be blocked.

• Snowplow and Front Mount Trailer Hitch for a 2015 Ford F-150
  
• Yes, I recommend the SnowBear 82 inch snowplow # SB324-080 for your 2015 Ford F-150. You will also need to have a front mount hitch installed, # C31083, to mount and use the plow. I also recommend the off-road lighting kit for this plow, # SB324-127, for better visibility when plowing at night since plows have the tendency to block vehicle lights.

• Front Hitch and Snow Plow Recommendation for a 2003 GMC Envoy
  
• As long as you have a front hitch on your 2003 GMC Envoy like the # 31055 the snow plow part # SB324-080 will fit. It's a bit wider than most plows that would get used on a smaller SUV like the Envoy, but if you plan to upgrade to a full size truck eventually this would be a good plow to use. You would be able to easily transfer it over to the Sierra when you needed too.

• Is Front-Mount Hitch # 31310 Compatible with Western Uni-Mount Snowplow on 1995 Ford F250 4WD
  
• I was able to find images of the Western Uni-Mount Snowplow and based on how its mounting brackets appear, I suspect there would be interference with installation of a front-mount hitch such as the Curt # 31310 you referenced. You can use the linked installation instructions for this hitch and compare them to what you see under your truck's front grille to see if the hitch mounting points are still accessible.
