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.

Love the plow.
Only downside is the outside
bottom corners have bent backwards while plowing. I will have to straighten and reinforce those areas. I plow six different driveways. I was using a 4whlr plow for these before and it would take me several hours to all day, with this plow its less than 4hrs including driving time and I have vehicle heat. I've had many people looking, commenting and asking about this hitch system. I recommend it and give them the etrailer site for information and purchasing advice. This system is very impressive. Thank you.

If I could mark it at 4.5 stars I would. I like it the hitch.

I think it hangs down too low, only 8" off the pavement. I did not like to have to take off the tow hooks to install the hitch. I did like the idea of I sold the tow hooks for almost as much as I paid for the hitch.

I had to buy a hitch extender. ( I do not see the extender I bought on etrailer listed any more.) The extender put the hitch out far enough to clear the grill guard that I had installed. My goal was to have a place to mount my 8,000 pound winch. I can now slide the winch in the front receiver or the back factory receiver. I can now pull the truck out from either front or back.



by: Danny08/22/2019

This front mount hitch was just what we needed to haul our bikes when camping with the slide in camper. We had to take the bikes and a bike hitch off each time we had to get in the camper when we stopped. This front mount hitch saved us from having to do that. Also use it for a carrier to carry extra luggage. It came fast and it was very easy to install, just as advertised.

Ive used this several times and it works great. It is a little low, but I use a Curt Hitch Haul with a angled shank.



by: Deb04/22/2019

Good North American made hitch. Clearance from tow hoops to ground a consideration. Bent one hoop back but only because the old logging road was that bad.



by: Paul10/18/2017

This worked out pretty well- drove it for the first time since installed it and it definitely has an affect on how the vehicle feels (I guess the added weight to the front end ) I wouldn't say bad but different. The hitch went on easy, had to trim a very small bit of the air dam maybe a quarter inch. I was worried it would have a impact on the aesthetics of the truck but I think it looks pretty awesome - also the price was the best I could find on the net



by: James10/23/2023

This plow does not stand up to much use. I used it for my long gravel driveway and I was dissapointed in the durability of the plow. The plow bent near the cutting edge and twisted when I accidentally bumped into a rock when turning around. This plow is for light use only and it does not back drag snow well since it is light and does not have any down pressure.



by: James 03/23/2024

Fast delivery, easy installation, fair price

Works as designed!



by: Steven 04/17/2021

I am very happy with my Curt front mount trailer hitch receiver which I use for my rod and cooler holder for surf fishing. It is well constructed and assures me of many years of use. I would recommend Curt to anyone who would like a well built front hitch.

Works great for my surf rod rack on my 2012 Ram pickup.

Quality product with clear installation instructions



by: Chuckie11/26/2019

This front receiver hitch is just what I needed for parking my boat in a very narrow location next to my residence---much shorter turning base having the hitch on the front of the vehicle vs the rear.

This product took just over an hour to install and was very easy with a "second" pair of hands.

will do the same on my next truck

Charles

Used it several times this past year===I have a very small space to park my boat next to my residence-instead of using the rear hitch I use the front-it is much easier using the front hitch. Seasons Greeting and stay safe.



by: Scott 09/18/2022

I live in the city. So our yards are really not designed to put a travel trailer in. I am using this front mounted hitch to swing my Trailmanor 3124KS our the back yard. Much cheaper option than a powered trailer jockey. Plus I can mount bike carrier, winch etc to the front with no problems.

have had a curt front hitch before(98 Suburban) so was familiar with it.
pretty easy install.
hate loosing the factory tow hooks!!!! need to find a way around that.

no problem with product as far as manufacturing and quality. have on a 4x4 Ram 1500. hangs too low,drags if u cross the smallest ditch etc. also mounts to far in and when you put carrier into hitch it butts up against bumper and will not go in far enough to put the pin thru. havent been able to use it, just havent had time to take it off.



by: Billy 01/04/2024

Easy to put together,easy to put it on and take it off my truck, works like it should



by: Robert09/09/2020

Easy to install. Works great with my home plow. Don't have to back up with trailers around the yard, precision trailering from the front. My only gripe is that if you buy a new truck to install this front mount hitch you will need two bolts unless you can fish out the existing bolts with a magnet. Save the fish wire that comes with the mount.



by: Scott 07/23/2023
2019 Ram 1500 Classic

Perfect fit. Fishing wire made the install very easy. Took one person less than 30 minutes to complete.



by: Mark 07/07/2020

Product was an easy install, shipping was fast and customer service is always outstanding!
The hitch is barely noticeable and it didn’t need to cut the fascia.

Mark

Works as advertised. Very easy to install didnt have to cut any bumper plastic. Holds up to the impact of having a plow connected to it.



by: Bennett 09/02/2023

Arrived on time and the hitch fit perfectly. Good quality.



by: Jeff 11/21/2022
2017 Ram1500

I wanted a front-mounted receiver hitch so I could push my travel trailer into its narrow parking spot. Backing in was challenging - I have a narrow curving driveway with rock walls on both sides.
I had a service garage install it for me - and it works great!
It does sit rather low so I have to lower my trailer's hitch to its lowest point so I can connect it to my truck.



by: David 12/27/2023

Fast delivery!



by: Dan 06/22/2022

Fit perfectly and works just like it should. Makes pushing my travel trailer into the barn much easier. The only thing that I would improve is to make it where I could still keep the factory tow hooks..

The Detail K2 Elite item # K2AVAL8826ELT weighs 296 lbs and requires a 2" x 2" receiver. Most front mounted hitches have a minimum capacity of 500 lbs so you are good to go.

The hitch comes with all mounting hardware included. Also, you will be able to attach the Detail K2 Elite Snowplow for 2" Hitches - 88" Wide x 26" Tall # K2AVAL8826ELT to that setup.

  • Recommended Snowplow for 2 Front Trailer Hitch on One Ton Pickup
  • If you already have a front mount hitch then all you'll need is a snowplow which uses the hitch receiver for installation. The Detail K2 Elite Snowplow for 2" Hitches part # K2AVAL8826ELT for example is a great option with an 88" wide blade so it will be great for larger pickup like a 3/4 or 1 ton. It has a wireless remote so you can control the blade height from inside the cab on the fly and there are skid shoes so you can plow over uneven surfaces like gravel without damaging the blade. I

  • Snow Plow Recommendation for 2010 Toyota Tundra with 2 inch Hitch
  • For your 2010 Toyota Tundra with a 2 inch front hitch we have great plow options like the Detail K2 part # K2AVAL8826ELT which can be raised and lowered from inside your cab with a remote setup but we do not have any options that allow you to remotely angle the plow blade from left to right. This plow is still adjustable in this way but you have to perform that adjustment manually.

  • Snowplow Recommendation for a 2009 Ford Explorer Sport Trac
  • Our plows have some adjustability, but they don't have a power angle - to adjust the angle you will need to do so manually. For your application I recommend checking out the Detail K2 Elite # K2AVAL8826ELT which installs on your 2009 Ford Explorer Sport Trac using the Curt Front Mount Hitch Receiver # 31545. I like this snowplow because it's 88" wide x 26" tall, it has 3 different angle positions (left, center, and right), and it uses a chain-lifting design that does a great job at

  • Would EcoHitch Front Hitch for 2013 Ram 1500 Work with Detail K2 Elite Plow
  • The Detail K2 Elite Snow Plow part # K2AVAL8826ELT that you referenced was designed to work with front hitches that install lower on the vehicle than your ecohitch. This would hold the plow much too high and would not work. You'd need a hitch like the Curt # C31015 which installs lower on your 2013 Ram 2500.

  • Recommended Front Mount Hitch for a 2013 Ram 1500
  • Yes, we do! To add a front hitch to your 2013 Ram 1500 you will want the Curt item # 31374. This front hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Ram with included hardware. Please note that this hitch only fits the 4WD models. There is no option to add a front hitch to a 2WD 2013 Ram 1500. I have linked an installation video below to help you get this hitch set up.

  • Ground Clearance of Front Mounted Receiver Installed on 2009 Ram 1500 2WD
  • According to Curt, their # 31374 front mounted receiver isn't recommended for 2WD models because of their lower ride height. My Curt representative also told me that there might be differences in the front suspension members that would interfere with the hitch. The Draw-Tite # 65062 which is indeed very similar to the Curt model will sit so that the underside of the receiver tube will sit about 1-3/4 inches below the bottom of the bottom of the bumper fascia.

  • Line Pull Capacity of Curt Front Receiver # 31374 on 2012 Ram 1500 Versus Capacity of OEM Tow Hooks
  • I do not have any information regarding the capacity of the OEM tow hooks. The 9000 lb line pull refers to the fact that the receiver is capable of pulling 9000 lbs in a straight line from the receiver opening (not at an angle from side to side or up and down). In order to install the receiver, the OEM tow hooks would need to be removed. I do not have a photo of the receiver installed on a vehicle, as we have not yet had the opportunity to install one, but if you look at the installation

  • Can Tow Hooks Stay in Place Using Curt Front Mount Receiver 31374 on a 2014 Ram 1500 4x4
  • It is possible to retain tow hooks on the truck by using Draw-Tite front hitch # 65062. But the tow hooks apparently varied in design so some may still have to be removed. Draw-Tite does not specify which ones can be retained. I have linked a video showing an example installation of this hitch for you. The Curt front mount receiver # 31374 was not designed or tested for installation with the tow hooks sandwiched between the frame and the hitch so I cannot recommend that installation

  • Comparing Curt and Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer hitches For 2021 Ram 1500 Classic
  • For your 2021 Ram 1500 Classic 4WD I recommend going with the Curt # 31374 over the Draw-Tite # 65062 simply due to the Curt hitch having built in recovery points where the Draw-Tite does not. Since the Draw-Tite may require you to remove your factory tow hooks if you have them, that can leave you without a solid recovery point which is less than ideal. We have also found that the powder coat finish Curt uses tends to hold up better over time keeping the hitch looking good, but more

  • Front Mounted Hitch Fit for 2016 Ram 1500 2WD
  • The Curt hitch # 31374 you mentioned is not a fit for 2WD vehicles. Instead you will want to use the Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" # 65062 which is a confirmed fit for your truck. I've linked a video to further assist.

  • Will Curt Front Hitch 31374 Fit a 2WD Ram 1500
  • The Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # 31374 fits an 2009-2018 Ram 1500, a 2019-2021 Ram 1500 excluding the Rebel or a diesel, and 2019-2022 Ram 1500 Classic excluding the Warlock. Curt has it listed as only fitting the 4WD models so I wouldn't try to use it with a 2WD Ram pickup. If you have a 2WD then you can use the Draw-Tite Front Hitch Receive # 65062 which is listed to fit a 2009-2018 Ram 1500 and then a 2019-2021 Ram 1500 Classic. This fits both the 2WD and 4WD model types.

The good news is that this hitch comes with two safety hook loops which can be used if you were to ever have a need for the tow hooks.
