Hitch-mounted residential plow has shock-absorbing springs and a steel-edge blade to easily clear driveways and parking lots. Long-lasting actuator with internal clutch and wireless remote lets you raise or lower the 3-position blade from your cab.
Features:
Specs:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Fits perfect and works just as I needed it to. I use it for my SnowSport plow set-up on a 2022 Gladiator Sport Max Tow. I’ve been using front receivers for this same plow for the last 24 years. It’s been used on 5 different trucks and this front receiver mount plow is the BEST.
*** When installing on a Gladiator(possibly the Wrangler as well), the front plastic trim below the bumper needs to be cut for receiver clearance. I wanted a tight and “factory looking” install, so I took my time with a vibrating cutter and very sharp utility knife. After trying to put it back in place, the hole is not just square, it’s shaped more like. “T”. I suggest you make small adjustments/cuts as you go forward. It may take several times fitting and cutting to get it right and tight, but in the end it does look like it came that way from JEEP. On the Max Tow package, there is also a metal skid plate that does not get reinstalled. Unfortunately that piece is where the back of the plastic fascia mounts. I ended up securing it with some long heavy-duty zip-ties and it’s worked well for a year now. Just an FYI for those installing the same receiver on their same vehicle.
Product shipped and received on time. I'm very happy with the packaging. Hardware was included with instructions to install the hitches I purchased.
Installed real easy. Cuttingbthe plastic rock guard was the hardest part.
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!
Opened the box and instructions were bad, OK you added the video the video when is OK. The parts seen of matching OK (not 100% verifying the list of parts and qualities). Shipping way odd and for a e-shipping no thing over a week, then boom you are shipping and here (odd). It is raining now - - so no installing a hitch in the driveway today...

The hitch worked OK, even if the instructions were not so good. My hitch for the home snow plow worked OK for the winter.

All was great. Good quality product. Install instructions for cutting the front pan were incorrect. The hitch design appears to have changed from the instructions provided. A much different cut-out was required making many installs and removals. The 3 X 5" cut-out in the instructions is incorrect.

Great, but installation was a bit more challenging then identified
Excellent. The receiver is of great quality and fitment was perfect. The installation video was a very nice resource allowing installation preparation and because of this I completed the receiver install in a little less than 30 minutes. This is the third Curt receiver I have purchased from etrailer and each time I have had the same exceptional experience with the product and etrailer.
It will be so nice to have the Jeep with us. But it didn’t take the 90 minutes but most of the day to put it on
Very easy install. Videos were great help. I like the idea of fish springs, I didn't need them, but tried it out, works great. Quality unit, made in USA.
Shipping very quick, follow up emails. Great outfit to deal with. I'll be contacting soon about purchasing a snowplow with them.
Easy install. I have my winch attached to it and it works great. Much cheaper than getting a new bumper with integral winch.
This was one of the easiest installs / modifications ever. The install was pretty loose and forgiving when put into place but it tightened up nicely. I was a little worried about cutting the front fascia after seeing a couple of reviews where others has omitted it, but that too was actually really easy to do with a sharp razor knife. Everything was completed in just 45 minutes during my lunch hour in the parking lot at work!
Not hard to install at all, the hard part was getting the plastic clamps back into the air dam. LOL
Quick delivery. Perfect fit. Easy install. Thanks.
i received exactly what i ordered and actually a day earlier than expected. This was my first order with etrailer and will 100% order from them again.
Thank you for your excellent service!
A little fiddly to install for one person, when I added a helper everything went smoothly.
Also, if you're going to put the lower plastic tray back on the car, you'll find that the tray will need to be test fitted a few times to get the fitment of the push rivets correct. The slot you'll end up cutting isn't going to be a rectangle but more of a "T" slot. This is to account for the stiffing flange of the hitch.
Overall, a very stout and well built product.
Excellent purchase, easy to install and great quality. We added an extension bracket and a 6-rod rack + cooler bumper mount - it's a game changer!
Easy to install, built well. You will have to cut the plastic shield under the Jeep.
These guys are awesome. Great support during and after purchase.
easy to do business with.
the videos that pertain exactly to my vehicle make installation a synch
super company!
easy fit and good instructions !
It fit perfectly. Easy to install
Purchased several times from etrailer and always a good experience

Its a blessing to have as I had something similar on an old truck and missed it. Makes life much easier getting my camper and car trailer in the yard around the tree thats in the middle of the driveway design.
