Detail K2 Plow Length

The Detail K2 Elite 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 wireless actuator. 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.


Detail K2 Hitch Mount

To install the Elite 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.


Detail K2 Caster Wheel

The Elite 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

Detail K2 Adjustable Plow Position

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.


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.


Smooth, Controlled Lifting with Electric Actuator

Detail K2 Elite snow plow actuator

The electric actuator on this plow allows you to lift and lower the blade using either a toggle switch that installs in your cab or the included wireless remote control.


To raise the plow, use the switch or remote to activate the actuator. As the actuator moves along the internal screw, the arm on top of the actuator will pivot, raising the plow blade by pulling the chain that is attached to it. This simple, chain-lifting design has fewer moving parts than other plow-lifting devices, so the setup is less complicated and there are fewer parts to have to repair or replace.


This actuator lifts and lowers the snowplow blade smoother than an electric winch. In addition, fewer amps are required to run an actuator than to operate an electric winch, which means that the solenoid on the Detail K2 Elite will last twice as long as the solenoid on a plow that uses a winch. There is also a built-in clutch that prevents damage to the actuator if you try to raise the blade too high or drop it too low. The electric actuator is built to withstand extreme temperatures and wet conditions with its completely sealed gearbox and housing.


Detail K2 Features

Detail K2 Skid Shoes

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.


Detail K2 Blade Stiffener

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.


Detail K2 Trip Springs

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.

How it was received; either is was mail destroyed or UPS did this in the process. No telling what parts are missing, waiting for UPS to come pick this and E-Trailer to send out replacement.

I thought these product would be packaged better from the factory for shipping resilience.

I am sorry to see this arrived in this state. I see that our customer service department has uploaded a claim. Once this is corrected we would appreciate your updated feedback.

2005 GMCSierra

This hitch was very easy to install....I had to trim the lower air dam to fit around the receiver and that gives it a clean neat look.
I didn't like that I had to remove and leave the shields around the tow hooks off. But overall I'm very pleased.
I plan to use this hitch for maneuvering a camper in a narrow spot beside my home, and for a bike rack when towing a camper.

Paul T.

The Curt front hitch is GREAT!I use it to help move my camper beside my house which is lacking clearance to back in. I will certainly install one on my next truck.

2003 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

I gave this hits only 4 stars since all of the available information indicated it would bolt right on to my 2003 Avalanche 1500 (All Models) with no modification, but it wasn't quite that simple. First off, my Avalanche has the plastic cladding. The end brackets of the hitch push the bottom of the air dam under the bumper down a bit and make it bow out. I had to remove the bracket that secured the air dam to the center of the frame. I mounted the hitch in the upper position since I didn't want it to be so low, and the receiver ends up being 8" back from the bumper facia. I had to order an 8" extension to bring it out past the bumper. Other than that, I'm happy with the hitch. I just wish the fitment guide was a little more specific.

Bryan C.

8/13/2013

Did the hitch still come out under the cladding? Or do u need to make a hole for extension? Thanks Bryan 2004 avalanche with clading

William

8/20/2013

Since I installed the hitch in the upper position, I had to cut a hole through the claddingbumper. This came out near the bottom of the license plate recess. I then use the 8 extension if needed. This brings the receiver out in front of the bumper.



by: Olen09/19/2022

Of the many hitch receivers I have purchased, the front mounted ones have never failed to surprise me of their usefulness! From bike racks, to carrier for coolers, to my chainsaws, gas and oil, they make it work. Recently while cutting wood for a hunting lease engagement, I put a second ball on the front and used it to drive a 16' trailer up a hill to get the wood where it was needed for offloading. Backing it up had resulting in damaged trucks, trailers and numerous attempts. Using the front hitch it was a one and done deal! Love it! I have even used it to pull trees over when felling. I don't have enough fingers and toes to count the uses! If you have ever thought about it, just stop and order! You won't regret it!

I have a 2006 Silverado 2wd LD truck and mounted a curt front trailer hitch ... I mounted both side plates first without tighten down.. I then mounted the 2" receiver section ... Tightened that down then,finished cranking down side brackets !!!!! Done !!!! However I did have to cut the backside of the tow hooks facia plastic with a jig saw no problem ... I never cut into the cup portion I just cut some of the extra plastic in the back off DONE !!!!!!!



by: Leon Thompson10/08/2020

I have had this on my 2005 Chevy Silverado for a year. I have used it to hold a Yakima bike rack once but mostly to carry a large toolbox for camping trips. Easy to install. I kept my plastic air damn on and just cut out a square hole for the hitch.



by: Mark S.09/18/2014

The shipping was quick. Installed easily. The hitch is visible just below the fascia at the bottom of the bumper. I had a front hitch on my previous truck (Tacoma); also from etrailer. I use the front hitch to move my travel trailer into tight spaces.

Originally, with this recent purchase, I had purchased the incorrect item. All it took was an email from the staff at etrailer. The email contained product return instructions along with an RGA#. I just returned yesterday. This extra customer service made the return process quite simple.

With all my needs regarding hitches, etc. I will always check etrailer first.

2004 Chevrolet Silverado

Installation extremely easy, line up holes and bolt together, that simple. No trimming required.
Purchase front hitch to park 29 FT. camper at a cramped storage facility. Dropping the camper off now is as easy as picking up the camper.
All parts well packed. Website easy to use, prices are right and easy to track shipment. Would purchase from website again.



by: Carlos02/20/2021

This thing is fantastic! My girlfriend and I put this thing together. It is perfect for keeping up with a storm. It is sturdy, takes a beating and keeps on going. I have a 2014 Ram ecodiesel. Would not use this plow setup for professional jobs however, only because it isn’t heavy enough to plow through mounds of snow covered ice. And when I say mounds, I mean 2 feet high and dense. Only drawback was shipping: I never received a tracking number from the shipping company but it did ship right away and was delivered in the time frame I was given. Enjoy guys!

Let first say , working with Emily was great. I had an issue with the first hitch not fitting . She helped me order a new hitch that went without a hitch , no pun intended. New hitch is installed as you can see in the picture. Installation was a snap. Already doing work. Thanks again will buy from you all again.



by: Patrick F11/12/2021

Anything I get from etrailer and Curt hitches always works! This front mounted hitch will be no different, providing I can put it on tomorrow if it’s not raining! I will continue to buy here!

I checked and for the 2002 Chevy Silverado 1500 LD I did not have a hitch that would provide a longer receiver opening.

My front mount hitch arrived with in days of ordering. I watched the installation instructions video on your site before receiving it and it was a very easy install. Your company deserves 5 gold stars in my book. I'm a very happy customer!!!



by: Robert 10/19/2023

Works perfectly, easy to install,I used it yesterday to move my dump trailer through the woods to the wood shed.



by: David 10/27/2023

Installation was a breeze and easily done with simple hand tools most guys have in the garage. I' 77 and it took a little over an hour. Looks terrific!

Ford Transit Connect

I can’t address the installation as the box arrived torn and some of the nuts and bolts were rattling in the box. Now I have to wait for the missing hardware. The hitch itself looks to be high quality and you would think that quality packaging would be a priority. All it would take is a heavy plastic bag wrapped in cardboard to protect the bag of hardware from ripping open in transit.

Product arrived a day early! Recommend this company for all your Trailer needs.

Hitch is great,but Im using it on a snow plow that has stabilizer bars that are supposed to align with the hitch crossmember. Because the hitch itself is mounted on the bottom of the crossmember, they do not align.



by: James 03/25/2024

fast safe shipping



by: Charles05/15/2020

Product arrived in a timely manner and was the right fit.. was easier to install than I thought it was going be. Took about 45 minutes. Only gripe is that the bolts that attach to the frame of truck spin even when they are in the metal plate when tightening down. Used a pair of pliers to hold end of bolt while using wrench to tighten. Other than that, exactly what I needed.

Excellent product and superior customer service. Instructions indicated it would take a professional an hour to install and a normal guy (me?) 2 hours.....well, I had it installed in an hour and five minutes and only busted one knuckle! Simple install, excellent fit, great shopping experience.

  • Best Snow Plow For 1999 Ford Explorer
  • I recommend getting the Detail K2 Plow as they are very popular and reliable for many years of use. Both will need this front trailers hitch receiver # C31051. If your 1999 Ford Explorer is 4 wheel drive, you'll need this kit # K2AVAL8219ELT and if you have a 2 wheel drive version you'll need this one # K2AVAL8219. Both function the same.

  • Does The Front Fascia Need to Be Cut For The Support Arms On Detail K2 Snow Plow For Front Receiver?
  • Chris, while you could cut out the lower valance with 2 additional openings for the Detail K2 Elite Snowplow # K2AVAL8219ELT to fit the Front Receiver # C31078 on youur 2023 Ford F-250. A better option may be to simply remove the valance when you use the plow. Then you could simply reattach the valance after you are done using the plow. There are only screws holding the valance to the bottom of the front bumper.

  • Recommended Front Mount Hitch for a 2000 Chevy Silverado 1500
  • The front mount trailer hitch that I recommend for a 2000 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 31302. It's a direct, custom bolt-on option with no drilling required. It has a hidden crosstube design as well so all you'll see is the receiver tube opening.

According to the instructions, if you install the hitch in the through bumper configuration you will need to cut a 3 inch square hole in the plastic fascia to allow the receiver to be correctly installed. 3 inches takes into account the hitch opening, 2 inches, the steel dimensions, 2-1/2 inches square and the reinforcement flange that is mounted around the

  • Will Front Mount Receiver Fit with Brush Guard on a 2005 Chevy Suburban
  • Yes, the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # 31302 will interfere with a guard, like the Westin E-Series Bull Bar # 31-5175, on your 2005 Chevy Suburban because they use the same mounting locations. If you are really needing to use the front mount receiver then you will need to remove the guard to do so. Let me know what you are trying to accomplish and I can see if we have other options out there to help you transport equipment!

  • Comparing Curt and Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitches for a 2003 Chevy Silverado 1500
  • It all depends on your 2003 GMC Sierra 1500 is a light duty or a heavy duty. If it is a light duty then I give the edge to Curt, # 31302, because their powder coating holds up well and the hitch is made in the USA. If you have a 1500HD then Draw-Tite hitch # 65028 is more popular but again I would give the edge to Curt # 31108 for the same reasons described above. I have linked videos showing example installations of both hitches for you. In either case both the Curt and Draw-Tite

  • Installing a Curt Front Mount Hitch on a 2003 Chevrolet Avalanche 1500 with Factory Tow Hooks
  • If you take a look at the video that I've linked of the Curt Front Mount Hitch # 31302 being installed on a 2003 Chevrolet Tahoe that also has tow hooks you'll see that the bolt you're referring to is reused. The provided 1/2 inch carriage bolt is fishwired using the bolt leader into the hole that is further back on the vehicle but not on the one that is removed. So yes, reusing the hardware is exactly what you should do.

  • Recommended Front Mounted Hitch for 2006 Chevy Tahoe LT
  • The Curt # 31302 is a confirmed fit and will be a great choice for you. This hitch will prove durable over time because they use a slightly thicker powder coat than other brands. This hitch will require trimming your air dam, but you won't lose your tow hooks. It sounds like you will want to use a cargo carrier like the 20x59 Curt Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Steel - Folding - 500 lbs # C18151 and use an anti-rattle hitch lock like # 63232

You can put any size winch on the hitch as long as you do not exceed the line pull of the hitch or the winch, whichever is lower.

  • Can the Curt Front Mount Hitch Support a Winch on a 1999 GMC Sierra Z71

This hitch has a standard 2 inch receiver that is compatible with most hitch mounted winch plates. It is important to check the axle capacity of your front axle as well to ensure you do not exceed the capacity of the front axle. If you do not already have a winch plate, I recommend looking at the Curt

  • Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver for a 2003 Chevy Avalanche
  • First, regarding the installation instructions, the front receiver # 31302 does fit other Chevy models other than the Silverado. I don't know why they didn't put that in the instructions but it might be to save space since this receiver fits Sierra, Silverado, Yukon, Avalanche, Tahoe, Suburban, and Escalade models. That is also why you see a video installation on a 2003 Tahoe which I have linked for reference. Regarding the use of an extension I do not recommend it. The use of an extension
