Detail K2 Plow Length

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.


Detail K2 Hitch Mount

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.


Detail K2 Caster Wheel

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

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.


Detail K2 Wireless Remote 2.4Ghz

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

Detail K2 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

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.

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.



by: Daniel12/20/2022

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.



by: Aaron01/23/2021

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!!

2015 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited

What can I say that you haven't already heard? etrailer.com made this such a painless and straight forward process for selecting the front hitch for my 2015 Jeep Rubicon Unlimited that I can't believe I didn't do it sooner.

The Curt front hitch for my jeep arrived quickly and in great shape, very well packed. On unpacking I found my hardware and instruction firmly secured to it so it didn't get mixed up with my rear hitch, good forward thinking.

The hitch is robustly built and you can see the care that goes into the quality, all the welds are neat and tidy and the finish is excellent. The hardware is all coated for long lasting performance and the fish wire is beyond handy.

For the installation of the front hitch the instructions are a little lacking. This is not to say bad or confusing, just lacking a little more how to. The etrailer video on installing it made the process go smooth and easy. On my Rubicon model you do have to fight with the sway bar motor on the passenger side and the vacuum unit on the driver side, it is a pain but if you take the top frame trim off it is much easier to work. The bolt hole on the drivers side, pass a drill through it to make sure the ft is right because its very tight to work in that area and close won't work. Other than that, it installs exactly like the video. The only thing that would complete the package would be a template for clipping the front plastic shield, the Curt instructions include a sketch that gives you an idea but a simple temporary adhesive template would make it super simple to drill the corners out and then connect the dots with a tool of choice. But hey, that's just me.

The hitch tucks up real nice and doesn't kill approach angle or ground clearance which is great for my application as its for carrying a winch when I need it. I would recommend etrailer.com without hesitation and strongly urge the Curt line of products based on what I've seen so far.

2018 Jeep JK Wrangler

It was a great price to solve my problem of how to take my bike camping when I’m pulling my teardrop trailer.

Installation wasn’t that difficult with the exception of the top bolt on the drivers side. The brake booster pump was in the way. Keep trying and you’ll get it in eventually. It took me about an hour to install.



by: Robert Buckley09/06/2016

Fit like a glove and installation was quick and smooth. Delivery was well within reason considering item not in stock. Extremely pleased with etrailer.com and staff kept me informed on shipping.



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: Joe01/07/2018

Fast shipping! Fits 2013 jk perfectly. As the video states you need to enlarge the hole on the left side. Bought this for the snowbear 84” plow setup.

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.

JeepWrangler

The Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch 31432 for the Jeep Wrangler is well designed and built. It has excellent fit so no shims or spacers are needed. Your videos and customer comments were very helpful. The problem that others encountered with short bolts seems to be fixed now. Instead of 2 short and 2 long hex head bolts shown in one of the photos, they now provide four "2.25 inch" bolts which are really about 2.125" which makes the lower driver side bolt marginal. Good practice calls for at least 1 thread to extend beyond the nut, but the lower bolt feels (I can't see it) to be approxemately flush which should be good enough.



by: Mark G11/14/2020

The hitch was exactly as advertised. Installation instructions were complete.

by: Scott02/09/2022

Well worth the money! No longer having to worry about someone else coming to plow is a God send!!!



by: Daniel08/19/2023

Good for the price, really needs to be able to be able to angle from the cab of the truck. (deluxe model.)

2010 JeepWrangler

Front reciever 2007 Rubicon The front hitch reciever is for 2007 and on Jeep wrangler but I have a Rubicon. ALMOST the same but there is the small problem of the swaybar disconect. Probably a 10 minute job on a wrangler but on the Rubicon it took an hour squeezing my hands arount the swaybar disconect. Fits and looks great, I highly recomend this item.

Craig

10/6/2013

on a rubicon remove the sway bar and disconnect as a unit , takes maybe 10 min so you can acess the hitch location.

Patrick B.

10/10/2013

Excellent advice. Temporarily removing the sway bar is a good way to free up some space for working.


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.



by: Trina&Ross08/16/2017
2013 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited

We bought this hitch to use a floating snow plow on the front. It's works just like it should.we took our bumper off to put a new aftermarket bumper on which made installation easier. With an aftermarket bumper we did have to trim a part in the middle of the bumper for the hitch to fit but if you have a stock bumper it will fit perfect.



by: Kevin 10/28/2022

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.

Found a front receiver hitch for my 2011 Jeep Wrangler at a reasonable price. Arrived quickly, had the local garage install for me. We tow a 1960 Nomad trailer with this vehicle and plan to add a bike rack to the front.



by: Rick R.05/10/2013
2013 JeepWrangler

I have a '13 Wrangler Unlimited. The hitch is solid and the holes in it do line up with the holes in the front bumper. Maybe it's just me, but 45 minutes is an extremely optimistic prediction of how long the installation takes. I ended up having to drill one hole in the bumper support (as suggested) figure out ways to actually get the nuts and washers in such tight quarters. I'm glad it's installed now and looks great. I think a detailed video or an alternate method of attachment would be helpful, for my model at least.

  • 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

  • Since a front mount hitch receiver, like the Curt # 31432, uses the same mounting points as your Blue Ox base plate kit, you will need to remove the base plate kit from your 2015 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon to install a front mount hitch receiver. Please note that this front mount hitch is only compatible with the standard factory bumper. Should you go this route and then need to reinstall the base plate kit you will need to use new hardware as it is only meant to be torqued down

  • Would the Curt Front Hitch part # 31432 fit a 2013 Jeep Wrangler With a MBRP Front Hitch
  • To see how the Curt Front Hitch part # 31432 would install on your 2013 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon check out the picture I attached. Hopefully you can tell if it will interfere with your MBRP bull bar. This hitch wasn't test for compatibility with that bar so I cannot safely say if it would fit or not, especially considering the modifications you've already made.

  • Will Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Fit 2009 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited With Aftermarket Bumper
  • The Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch # 31432 is designed to work with a 2009 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited with a standard factory bumper.

  • Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2016 Fiat 500X
  • Yes, we checked with Yakima and the KingJoe Pro 2 # Y02624 that you referenced has been confirmed as a fit so it would work well. I attached a review video for you to check out as well. If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Swagman Easy-Out Women's and Alternative Frame Bike Adapter # 64005 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point.

  • Does Underbody Panel of 2017 Jeep Wrangler Need to Come off To Install Curt Hitch # 31432
  • A template is not available for the needed trimming involved to install the Curt Front Hitch part # 31432 that you referenced. When installing the hitch you have the option to leave the panel off permanently or notch it as you go to reinstall it so that it fits around the hitch tube. Basically you would want to set in in place as then cut it as needed .

  • Compatibility Of Curt Front Mount Hitch Receiver On a 2011 Jeep Wrangler With Rampage Front Bumper
  • The Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # 31432 has only been confirmed to fit on the standard factory bumper for your 2011 Jeep Wrangler. Based on the image of that you sent and comparing to the stock bumper I do not see the receiver fitting with your Rampage Rock Rage aftermarket bumper without modification to the bumper. I have included a picture of one installed with the factory bumper and you can see it rests just below the bumper which is recessed in the center to be thinner.

  • Using a Cargo Carry and Towing a Trailer at the Same Time with a 2011 Jeep Wrangler
  • I believe I have the perfect solution for you. Take a look at the cargo carrier that mounts to the spare tire, # SPSJ4319. This should put the cargo high enough to not interfere with the trailer. I have linked a video showing a typical installation for you.

  • Front Mounted Receiver Hitch for 2013 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited 20th Anniversary
  • My Curt representative tells me that if you have the 'standard' OEM bumper, not the tube style, their # 31432 will fit just fine. There's an underbody deflector that needs to be removed to install the hitch. It can be trimmed and reinstalled, or just left off...whichever you'd prefer. Draw-Tite's # 65069 Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver will work as well.

  • What is the Front Mount Hitch Position When Curt Hitch 31432 is Installed on a 2010 Jeep Wrangler
  • I have seen the same thing on several jeeps. So I was looking at the directions, which I have attached below, for Curt front mount hitch, # 31432, to determine its position when installed on the vehicle. By looking at the instructions, it still is not too clear, though it appears as though the opening will be more or less flush with the center of the bumper. I spoke with my contact at Curt, the manufacturer, and they told me that the hitch arms mount above the bumper and the actual

  • Is The Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver Compatible With Smittybilt XRC Front Bumper?
  • The Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # 31432 has not been confirmed to fit with your Smittybilt XRC front bumper and based on your images along with others I could find it appears it would require modification to the bumper as well as the receiver to have everything fit properly. Since the Smittybilt is an upgraded bumper you may be able to weld a receiver to the bumper but be sure to discuss this with the manufacturer. We have the 2" Weld On Receiver # E17 you could use if they
