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.

This little plow has been perfect for a Jeep Wrangler. I used it all winter and it kept the driveway clear, no complaints.

2019 Honda Ridgeline RTL-E. Installed it myself but a helper would have made it easier. Instruction say to remove and discard the lower engine shroud before mounting. I chose to do surgery on the shroud to fit the attachment points and put it back in. This made the install harder (less finger room) but the result in very nice. I measured clearance before and after at the lowest part of the engine. Putting this on reduced overall clearance 1 inch. It changed angle of attack significantly. Here's what you should think about...Is this a vehicle for serious 4 wheeling in? Then don't do this. And buy a different truck with greater ground clearance. If, like me, you pull a small trailer on paved and gravel roads, and you want to put bikes on the front, this will work great. See pictures attached.

HondaRidgeline
Love my Ridgeline. But the only hard point in the front is buried deep under the engine. This provides three rescue points and a way to mount a winch or whatever with a 2” hitch mount. Here is the good and bad. Etrailer.com was perfect. Fast shipping, good communication.five stars. The quality and value of the hitch is top notch. Holes lined up perfectly. All hardware was provided and high quality. Now the less than ideal. The hardest part of the installation was getting the rivnuts set. They wanted to spin in the holes. I had to rig a little tool out of a long eyebolt, screw it into the rivnut and run a nut up against the mount with a fair amount of muscle to expand the anchor. The other quip I have is that the hitch is very low. If I I mount a bike rack or something I’ll have to add a riser. The hitch comes out under the bumper and Honda didn’t go for maximum clearance. Ideally a hitch would come out though the bumper at a more appropriate height. But that would require a great deal of modification to the truck. I can’t fault the seller or the hitch manufacturer for these issues. Rivnuts are just work to set without the specialized tool and Honda gave us a pretty low front end. Moreover I am happy with the upgrade and feel better having a way to mount loads up front or attach a rescue strap.

2000 HondaRidgeline
Received the hitch a couple days late due to UPS issues. Followed the instructions which were fairly easy to follow. The pictures were a bit dark and difficult to view but I was able to figure what to do once I got underneath and compared the hitch alignment to the corresponding bolts. I did place my truck on ramps but still a little uncomfortable laying on my back and doing the work. Used a lift to position the hitch which was a little precarious. I didn’t have any help which would have been nicel. I struggled with the last of the bolts to screw in properly so had to loosen others and work a pry bar to get it to thread properly. Finally all bolts threaded well and able to tighten securely. Thought about refabing the plastic shield instead of discarding it, which maybe was possible, but didn’t have the energy.
I am using the hitch for a Snowsport HD plow on a j2019 Honda Ridgeline. The minimum height required for the plow is 8”. The height at the angling interceptor is just above 8 “ and 10” at the bottom of the push bar. Will use the plow tomorrow to see how it works and if any adjustments are necessary. If there is a height issue I will use a receiver extension 2” drop/rise if necessary. I have about 2000 ft of drive/ road to plow and this plow should do the job.
I’m very happy with the fit and finish of this hitch.
by: John12/20/2023
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.
by: Bill11/17/2023
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!

by: Tom 09/26/2021
Fair pricing and GREAT SERVICE. In the period of who has the lowest price, to me, service and product knowledge should be winning more business. I will spend more for the service levels companies like etrailer provide.
This is my 10th purchase of hitches for me, my family and friends. I will buy more!

Ask the Experts about this Snow Plow
Do you have a question about this Snow Plow?
- Does SnowBear Personal Snowplow for 2 Hitches # SB324-080 Come with Winch
- The SnowBear Personal Snowplow for 2" Hitches # SB324-080 that you referenced does come with a winch to allow it to raise and lower. There really isn't a good way to remove the winch to use it it in other applications.
view full answer... - 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.

- We do indeed offer a front mounted hitch for your 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee. You'll need the Curt # C31048. Once the front mount receiver is in place, you'll have the mounting point for a snow plow like the SnowBear # SB324-080. If you click the provided link, you can see the installation instructions for the hitch and the plow.

- 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

- I was able to find a better picture that shows where the hitch opening of the Curt front hitch part # C31048 will be when installed on a similar Jeep Grand Cherokee as your 2002 model that I attached to this page. It basically just sits right below the front bumper. I also lightened up the picture you mentioned so that you can see where it's at on that picture as well.
view full answer... - Parts Needed to Mount Snow Plow to 2010 Ram 3500
- The personal snowplows from SnowBear simply mount to a hitch receiver so to add one to your 2010 Ram 3500 you'll need the Curt # C31065.
If you have the Winter Wolf edition that requires vehicle-specific mounting brackets then we'll either need to find you a different setup or you'll have to have a shop fabricate some mounts as SnowBear doesn't have any custom mounts for a 3500 Ram pickup.
For the personal snowplow from SnowBear you'll need that Curt Front Hitch # C31065 and SnowBear

- The correct replacement winch for the SnowBear Personal Snowplow for 2" Hitches - 82" Wide x 19" Tall part # SB324-080 is the Replacement Single Speed Electric Winch part # SB263-282. There is not individual replacement parts for the winch unfortunately.
view full answer... - Recommended Snow Plow For A 1994 Jeep Wrangler
- I can definitely point you in the right direction. If you are looking for a hitch mount plow we have the # SB324-080 from SnowBear. This is a 82" x 19" steel blade plow that has 9" of height adjustment. It uses an in-cab switch and also comes with a wireless remote control. Please note that the bottom of your receiver tube must be at least 13" from the ground in order to use this plow.
We also offer the Detail K2 elite series plows for your 1994 Wrangler. I recommend the # K2RAMP8219ELT
view full answer... - Snow Plow For 2003 Ford Ranger
- We do have snow plow setups for your 2003 Ford Ranger like with the SnowBear Personal Plow # SB324-080 which installs in a front hitch like the Curt # C31063 which is a confirmed fit for your truck.
view full answer... - Snow Bear Plow Recommendation for 2008 Honda Ridgeline
- You may not be able to use the Snowbear plot part # SB324-080 on the highway but you could still transport it in your front hitch to your other driveway as long as the plow was up off the pavement.
You'd also need the front hitch part # 33328 installed on your 2008 Honda Ridgeline.
view full answer... - Snow Plow for a 2005 Honda Pilot
- We have a plow for your 2005 Honda Pilot, but the Winter Wolf will not work.
The 2005 Pilot is only compatible with front-mounted hitches. To use a plow on the Pilot, you will need the Snow Plow Personal, part # SB324-080, and the hitch for your vehicle, part # 33328.
This particular plow is 82" wide and 19" tall.
view full answer... - 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.
view full answer... - Is Bumper Modification Required to Install a Front Mount Hitch on a 2003 Dodge Durango
- We have front mount trailer hitches available for the 2003 Dodge Durango as long as it is a 4WD model. At this time there are no front mount hitches available for the 2WD models.
If you have a 4WD model, then I recommend installing the Curt Front Mount Hitch, # 31080. This has the highest vertical pull rating of our front mount hitches and it does not require any bumper modifications. The receiver will sit just below the front bumper fascia. I have attached the installation instructions
view full answer... - Can Draw-Tite Front Mount Hitch 65080 Mount Snow Plow
- Yes, you can absolutely mount a snow plow like the SnowBear Personal Snowplow for 2" Hitches # SB324-080 you referenced on the Draw-Tite front-mounted hitch you asked about:
- Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # 65080
This hitch, which fits 2007 and up Toyota Tundras and Sequoias, meets the necessary standards and has a 500 lb vertical load limit (which is like tongue weight for a front-mount hitch), and the SnowBear weighs 315 lbs, so it has more than the necessary capacity.
view full answer... - Snow Plow Recommendation for a 2002 Jeep Wrangler
- Actually SnowBear does not list a max height range for their snow plows like the part # SB324-080. Since you have a 2 inch front hitch installed on your 2002 Jeep Wrangler it should work well for you.
I attached a review video for this plow for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Does the SnowBear Personal Snowplow # SB32408031114 Have to be Manually Adjusted?
- Yes, you will have to manually adjust the blade on the # SB324-080 to set the position to the left, right, or center. It features a manual release handle that is easily accessible from front or back of the plow. It does use an electric winch to allow you to automatically raise or lower the plow from inside your vehicle.
view full answer... - Replacement Spring for SnowBear 324-080 Snow Plot
- I have a solution for you, but the tension springs for a SnowBear Personal Snowplow for 2" Hitches - Electric Winch - 82" Wide x 19" Tall # SB324-080 are not sold individually. However, the Replacement Spring Kit for SnowBear Snowplows # SB600-128 comes with 2 springs and the hardware needed to repair the plow, so you would be able to replace your lost spring and still have an extra spring on hand in the event of a future loss or break.

view full answer... - Are The Mounting Brackets The Same For DK2 And Snowbear Snowplows On 2002 Jeep Liberty
- The Snowbear and DK2 snowplows require different mounting brackets. For example, in order to mount the Detail K2 Summit II Snowplow # K2SUMM8826 you would need Custom Mounting Brackets # K284121.
You could, however, install Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver 2" # C31022 which could accommodate various snowplows from both brands. The Detail K2 Snowplow # K2AVAL8219 and SnowBear Personal Snowplow # SB324-080 would both would fit this 2" receiver.

- 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.

- The Curt front hitch part # C31082 that we offer for your 2019 Honda Pilot does not require any front fascia or bumper trimming to install but you will need to remove a lower fascia panel. You can trim and reinstall it if you like though. I attached a picture of what the hitch looks like installed for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Vehicle Modifications Necessary to Install Curt C31082 Front Hitch on 2019 Honda Ridgeline
- According to Curt in order to install the Curt # C31082 front receiver on your Ridgeline, there is a splash guard that's just to the rear of the valance under the bumper that needs to be removed and will not be reinstalled. The two rear-most hitch mounting holes in the crossmember will need to be enlarged to 11/16, but those are the only modifications that will need to be completed in order to install the hitch.
You can see the splash guard that will be removed in the photo I provided.

- We currently have two different front mounted hitch options for your 2017 Honda Ridgeline. This being the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C31082 and the Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 65073.
According to the manufacturer, the Curt trailer hitch receiver "will" require you to trim the front fascia on the vehicle whereas Draw-Tite says you "may" have to. Regardless, the trimming on both applications will only be minor if even necessary.

view full answer... - Recommended Front Hitch for a 2018 Honda Ridgeline
- That does sound correct if you are talking about a rear hitch. I am sorry but no one makes an aftermarket rear hitch for a 2018 Honda Ridgeline so you're going to have to go through Honda.
If you are wanting to add a front hitch, like the Curt item # C31082 you were looking at, this is the only option available.
view full answer... - Front Hitch Ground Clearance on 2019 Honda Ridgeline
- The Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch # C31082 sits up really close to the bottom of the front bumper on your 2019 Honda Ridgeline, so while it will have an effect on ground clearance, it's not by much at all. We had a customer install install the hitch on his 2019 Ridgeline and reported that it only reduced the truck's ground clearance by about an inch (when compared to the lowest factory component under the truck).

- Yes, the loops on the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C31082 for a 2020 Honda Ridgeline can be used for vehicle recovery. That is actually their purpose sense there would be no need for safety chains on a front mount hitch.

- Yes the Curt Front Hitch part # C31082 is a confirmed fit for a 2020 Honda Ridgeline!

- We've had a few customers report back that the installation of a front hitch like the Curt # C31082, only sits about 1" below the factory installed components on the 2019 Honda Ridgeline, which means the difference is really going to be negligible. As long as you don't also use your truck for off-roading, that shortened clearance really shouldn't make a huge difference in your experience after installation. During installation you will likely need to either trim the front fascia/air dam
