Remove snow quickly from your driveway or parking lot with this residential, hitch-mounted snowplow. Pivoting, 3-position blade glides over uneven ground. Remote-controlled electric winch lets you raise and lower plow from your warm cab.

Notes:
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.
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.

This little plow has been perfect for a Jeep Wrangler. I used it all winter and it kept the driveway clear, no complaints.
We installed a front mount trailer hitch receiever on "grandpa's" truck for his Snowsport Utility Plow and it works GREAT! It's been a year and we expect it to last far past the life of the vehicle!
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.
The plow works ok. It's easy enough to get on and off the vehicle. Fatal flaw is the winch strap. I have replaced 3 times in one winter of plowing. If you purchase this product be sure to order extra winch straps!
hitch connected up in less than an hour . The Etrailer gave you a handy little piece of wire which enabled you to fish the washers and bolts threw the frame . Without this piece of wire ,the job would have taken hours
Works well for the price.
I don't usually write reviews, but the installation of this front mount hitch on my 1999 Mazda B4000 was so simple and easy. I was so amazed at the ease of installation and the way it fits and looks I have to brag on it. I installed it the same day I got it in 1 hour with no help and no problems just followed instructions. The wire that was included for installing bolts is ingenious. I used two clamps to lift and hold it in place then enlarge two existing holes and wow the installation was finished. It is heavy duty and well built. I would give it 6 stars if it was allowed. I love it!
Front Hitch for my Ford 2009 Ranger. This is a solid hitch.

The hitch is great and it is a solid product.
This front hitch my 2011 Ford Ranger XLT 4x4 fit perfectly and arrived so quickly. Had to remove a front guard, slightly widen two holes in the frame so the bolts would fit, and cut a little into the plastic bottom of the front bumper (looks fine). You can barely tell there is a front hitch when looking at the front. For a $65 install cost, I highly recommend using Uhaul or a professional who can install this well.
I recently bought front hitch for my 2008 Ranger. Hitch fit great and took about an hour to install. I plan on getting a winch for hitch install as it was hard to get a bumper replacement that takes a winch.
The service at etrailer was amazing from start to finish. The product purchased works exactly as it was designed and described. Great experience the whole way through. I have been using this for a receiver mounted snow plow and it has showed zero signs of adverse wear or any issues.
instal instructions could be a lot clearer ,for a novice this could be a dificult install , fortunatly for me 25 years as a mechanic made it easier
I love this plow. It works great for our long driveway. This was easy to assemble and easy to take on and off our Honda Ridgeline.
Easy to order, fast delivery, easy inst allation!

Perfect fit on my 2011 Ford Ranger. The installation instructions spot on. I installed the hitch the same day that it was delivered. I will be ordering a snowplow for this front mounted hitch soon.
etrailer has been a great!!! They have been updating me on all the shipments.
Fit perfect. Need a 3/4 metal bit to enlarge hole or a dremel tool... took me longer than they said because I broke a couple bits enlarging the hole. I didn't have a big enough drill bit.
Limited installation instructions other than that all is OK
Works like a charm! I have never been disappointed.
My product works great in the winter.
Nice sturdy hitch.
