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.
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.
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
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.
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
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
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.

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.

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.

2022 Toyota RAV4
Shipping was fast and packaged good with no scratches.
I modified my 2010 Tundra skid pan for oil filter changes before mounting.
Replaced all 4 OEM tow ring bolts using anti-seize with new longer M12-1.25 X 40MM class 10.9 zinc finished hex cap screws along with new M12 X 24MM OD HARD WASHERS and torqued all 4 to 79 ft/lbs. Mounted new Thule EasyFold XT 2 Hitch Bike Rack and it fits in front without using the hitch extension.
All went together as planned and can now take E-Bikes with us while pulling our camper. We are happy campers!

2014 Toyota Tundra
I bought and installed the front hitch to my 2014 Toyota Tundra because I did not want to use my travel trailer's rear bumper. The 2014 Toyota Tundra has a skid plate that has to be removed for oil changes and this front hitch installed would also have to be removed each time the oil is changed. I decided to cut a square hole in the skid plate allowing access to the oil filter so that the skid plate along with the front hitch would not have to be removed to get to the oil filter.
The skid plate has 5 bolts and 3 screws and drops down for oil changes. To completely remove the skid plate after removing the bolts and screws you have to hold the skid plate and move it to the drivers side to unhook two hooks which are "L" shape facing the same way towards the passengers side. Do not leave the skid plate off because too many hoses and lines will be exposed and can be damaged while driving.
It took me less than 20 minutes to install the front hitch and I also bought a Hitch Extender for a 2" Trailer Hitch 7" which made the hitch come even with the front bumper on my 2014 Toyota Tundra.
I bought several other accessories to go with the front hitch which I can use when needed. I did buy this hitch mainly to use to carry my 2 beach cruiser bikes and it works perfect.
Now all I have to do is insert the bike carrier into the receiver hitch and load the bikes and I am off with no worries about the bikes being in the rear of my travel trailer or trying to keep them steady in the bed of my Tundra.
The bikes look really good in front of my Tundra and my driving view is not blocked at all with the bikes on. With the 7 inch extender the bikes are nowhere near the truck and with the Anti-rattle with lock on the 7" trailer hitch receiver there is no swaying while on the road or on the freeway at any speed. Thanks etrailer.

Do you use any type of strap from the body of the bike rack back to the hood for stabilizing the bikes while on the road? I do not know where such a strap would be secured but I have seen some tuck them under the hood and close the hood on the end of the strap thereby securing the strap that runs from the rack under the hood lid. Does this question makes sense? Maybe such a support straps would not be required with this setup.My Tundra is a 2012 and I am assuming the skid plate is similar to yours. My bike rack looks to be much the same style as in your pics.Thanks.

Mike F.I dont think a strap for this type of bike rack would be needed. Even though I did use a rachet strap and made the connection from the tow hooks to the bike rack to keep it from bouncing at one time. Except for that one time I have never had to use a strap at all. Also use an Anti-Rattle Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock to keep the connection secure and tight. I make sure the bolts to the hitch and the hitch extender adapter are tighten to the fullest and the velcro straps that go around the bike tire rims are tight and secured. The hooks that go down on the bike frame are pushed down and then tighten. I have traveled throughout California with these bikes and never had a problem. Of course I always check the connections. I bought several bolts and washers for the hooks to tighten in case the bolts strips which has happened twice.Alex

Thanks for the follow up Alex. Please also keep in mind that using a hitch extender will reduce the capacity of the hitch by 50 percent.

Alex- can you tell me what other parts extension, lock, etc you purchased from e-trailer for your application. I just received this unit from them. Also, how did you cut the hole for oil filter removal? Would a Dremel tool work for this? Thank you for any assistance you can provide..Thank you, Terry .

Terry K. I also bought a Hitch Extender for a 2 Trailer Hitch 7 which made the hitch come even with the front bumper on my 2014 Toyota Tundra. I bought several other accessories to go with the front hitch which was the Anti-rattle with lock on the 7 trailer hitch receiver there is no swaying while on the road.For your question onhow did you cut the hole for oil filter removal? Would a Dremel tool work for this?I guess a dremel would work but what I used was a metal snip cutter. I bought one at home depot for about $9.00 and to start the cut I drilled a large hole at the corner of the square to be cut and then I just snipped along the square like a pair of scissors. I then filed the opening and on the square metal piece I also bought drilled several holes as I attached it to the skid plate.

2011 Toyota Tundra
bought this for my 2011 tundra, I launch my boat (5500 lbs) at a private ramp where a front mount hitch is pretty much required due to the tight access. Anyway this mounts to the front frame between the factory tow hooks on the 07-12 tundras. Does not take any time at all to install it. It weighs 29 lbs according to my scale. . It does not hang down any lower than the TRD Package steel skid plate, so I liked that. It looks plenty strong for just about any towing/launching activity I can think of with my truck.
You may need a 6-8 inch hitch extension to mound your receiver. But I would rather have to use an extension then have the hitch. itself stick out any farther forward. You may have to remove it to do an oil change, not sure yet, either way, no big deal.

David or anyone!Nice writeup and photo to help us in this purchase. Can you tell me if you had to remove the hitch to complete an oil change sir? It looks like you need to remove the hitch to get the skid plate off, but wasnt sure. Thanks,Pete

This front reciever will need to be removed to do an oil change. The 2 toyota dealers that have worked on my tundra did not have a problem removing it. They did not charge me any more for an oil change.
Patrick B.

Remember that the hardware included with hitches is usually torque-to-yield, TTY. This means that the hardware is only meant to be torqued once. If removed, the hardware should be discarded and replaced. The instructions do specify a 4 inch hole to be cut that allows easy access for oil changes. Its at the top of the pages in an in-set diagram. Its an easier solution than removing each time and it doesnt significantly reduce the protection the shield provides.
by: Steve 05/07/2024
Primarily bought the front receiver hitch to haul our 2 e-bikes. Did that because it was easier than hauling them inside our camper. And didn’t trust them bouncing around on the back bumper of the camper. Hauled the bikes that way on several camping trips. Easy as pie and I could keep an eye on them the whole trip.

2017 Toyota Tundra
The receiver was easy to install on my 2017 Tundra. I used a 4” hole saw to cut a hole to provide access to the oil filter. I carefully measured for the location of the hole as the drawing provided appeared to place the hole on the passenger side of the truck although the actual location is the driver’s side. Also, the instructions called for “return the tow hooks to the customer” for 2017 models, but I installed them just fine. That must have referred to a different Toyota model.

2010 Toyota Tundra
I got this receiver for the front of my 2010 Toyota Tundra pickup truck so that I could mount a Fishin Mate beach cart on the front of the truck when my travel trailer is hooked up to the rear receiver. The Curt front receiver is all I hoped it would be. I have used it for a year now, having made one trip from my home in Virginia to Cape Cod, and another trip to Florida. For a two months stay in Florida, I used the cart on the front or rear receiver several times a week. The Curt front receiver is of the highest quality. It was simple to install. You take two bolts each out of each of the two front tow hooks mounted on the front of the frame, hold up the receiver to line up with the holes in the frame, hold up the tow hooks back to their position one at a time, and reinsert the original bolts. (Simply put, the receiver is inserted between the tow hooks and frame.). The first time I installed it, it did only take the twenty minutes or so that people say it does. I have chosen to not cut a hole in my skid plate under the engine, so when I change the crankcase oil and filter I have to remove the Curt receiver and skid plate every time. It takes some time, but I'm okay with that. It's that easy. I am 72 years old, and don't have the strength I used to have, so I can't manhandle the receiver and skid plate, but instead balance them on the cradle of a floor jack and finesse them into place. I've got the knack of it, and it goes well. I did not get a riser bar to elevate the cargo from the height of the receiver, so my cart carrier goes straight out the front. It is close to the road, but not so close as to have ever scraped going in and out of gas stations. I remain aware of it and am careful. The Curt receiver has traveled thousands of miles over a year now, has been off and back on twice for oil changes, has remained new looking, and has met all my expectations. E-Trailer, as always, remains the best internet shopping business I have ever dealt with.
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!!

It’s been perfect. Modifying the skid plate so it doesn’t have to be removed for oil changes was the best idea. The hitch makes hauling an extra cooler and fishing rods so much more convenient.
by: Bee01/02/2020
2011 Toyota Tundra
Installing was a breeze. I used a floor jack to hold out up while screw the bolts in. Done in 15mins. Looking at other pictures I see, it looks like it was fairly low to the ground but in reality, it's not as low as the pictures make it look. I have no use for it now but future plan is front tray and maybe a plow. The finish is very nice. I cut a removable filter access in my skid plate instead of leaving a big gapping hole. It's a very nice hitch to have.

Great for moving airplanes with my truck! It's harder to do than a maneuverable tug that's designed for this task, but I CAN do it. I have a Cessna 310 which I can't push myself without help. Anyone with a heavy airplane should get one of these.
Fitment is perfect. Installation is really quick (10 minutes) and easy on my 2007 Toyota Tundra. It helps to have friend hold it in place when running the bolts in.

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.

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.
by: Ty01/24/2023
The hitch is great and was easy to install. My problem came when I went for an oil change.
The mechanic said he would have to remove the hitch to then remove the skid plate so he could get to the oil filter and plug.
I have not reinstalled it since then. I’ve been researching a work around like cutting a little door or hole into the skid plate to facilitate future oil changes.
Still trying to figure it out.
If you buy this hitch, keep this in mind.

I do know that you would want to enlarge the hole in the front skid shield to allow access to be able to change the oil filter. Were you able to take this step when installing the hitch?

Had my mechanic install, they had to cut a hole in my Tundra front skid plate so we could have continuous access to the oil filter. Can't remove the skid plate without removing the front hitch. Needed to get an 8 inch hitch extender to attach our Kuat bike rack. Used it several times and everything works well. Thanks, Chris.....
by: Gerral07/25/2023
Hitch feels like good quality. When I bolted it up. Holes lined up perfectly. I'll be putting the 500 lb vertical load to the test soon. Will give a update. Thanks for the great service.

I recommend adding the Timbren Front Suspension Enhancement System # TFXF1004A as it is specifically designed to help support the front suspension when using a plow. This will help reduce the amount of front end sag when carrying the plow.

- All snowplow kits offered for the 2001 Dodge Ram 1500, shown on the linked page, exclude the Sport version from their fits. My technical contact at K2 advised that instead of a front-mount hitch you CAN use their Custom Mounting Bracket kit # K284309. This has no known compatibility issues with the Ram Sport according to my contact. With it you can use a plow like # K2RAMP8219.

- We offer a range of 2-inch hitch-mount snow plows that can work on your 2013 or 2014 model year Ford F-150 so long as it has a front-mounted 2-inch hitch receiver. I know of no particular issues with using a snow plow on the later model F-150s.
If you need a front hitch for your truck you can use the link at right to select a 2-inch hitch. Since you did not specify whether you have a 2013 or 2014 I have included two links, one for each model year, that you can use to select your truck

- I contacted Detail K2 snow plows and they have successfully mounted their plows on the 2004 Avalanche 1500. I recommend Detail K2 Avalanche Snowplow for 2" Hitches part # K2AVAL8219 and curt front mount hitch part # 31302. They do not have any notes stating any issues with the fit on a 1500.

- The Detail K2 Avalanche Snowplow for 2-Inch Hitches # K2AVAL8219 is intended to install into a 2-inch hitch receiver. In most cases a plow will be used on a front-mounted hitch but a rear-mounted hitch can also be used.
Rear-mounted 2-inch hitches are offered for your 2010 Volkswagen Tiguan, such as etrailer hitch # e98906, which is the one I recommend. This hitch installs without drilling but does require a bit of fascia trimming. All required hardware is included with the hitch.

- I spoke with all of the snowplow manufacturers we carry and none of them have ever heard of or had any issues with installing a snowplow on a 2017 Ram 1500 4x4. I would call the dealer to see if they say otherwise but I would not consider the statement to be true as all of the manufacturers state they have sold snowplows for this vehicle and have not heard back about the problem you described.
For your Ram, I recommend using the Detail K2 Avalanche Snowplow part # K2AVAL8219 which installs

I attached a diagram below of where to cut.

- I may have a different kind of solution for you, but based on the tongue weight of your trailer none of the front hitches we offer for your 2010 Toyota Tundra would work.
The Trailer Valet XL part # TVXL25 is a great way to move trailer's around that have less than 1,000 lbs tongue weight like yours. The crank on the side of allows you to power the jack's wheels so that you can move the trailer around and then the handle allows you to steer it.

- I was able to get the measurements you were looking for of the Draw-Tite front mount hitch that fits your 2020 Toyota Tundra, which is the following:
- Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # 65080
The hitch is similar to the Curt # 31198 in that it measures 3-5/8 inches from the hitch pin hole to the front of the crosstube, and 6 inches from the crosstube to the front of the hitch. We haven't had a chance to install either hitch on a Tundra, but I did add some photos for you

- We have two front mount hitches that are confirmed to fit your 2008 Toyota Tundra. The Curt 31198 and the Draw-Tite # 65080.
They do have identical specs since they both have a 9,000 pound line pull and 500 pound vertical load. Both have a 2 inch recevier opening. Both bolt to your Tundra's frame and do not require any drilling. The largest difference is going to be the appearance once either is installed.

- There is a way to find where the end of the hitch receiver will sit once installed on your 2011 Toyota Tundra, but we have not had a chance to install the Curt Front Mount Hitch, # 31198, on a 2011 Toyota Tundra yet, so I do not have a specific dimension to give you.

view full answer... - Recommended Front Hitch for 2018 Toyota Tundra
- The Curt Front Mount Hitch # 31198 and the Draw-Tite # 65080 for your 2018 Toyota Tundra are indeed just about identical in terms of their capacities and where they will mount on the truck. One thing that does differentiate the two models, and the reason I recommend the Curt, is the fact that the Curt # 31198 is made right here in the USA while the Draw-Tite hitch is made overseas.
The Curt hitches are also known for their unique powder coat application which ensures a rust free hitch
view full answer... - Skid Plate Removal Required To Install Front Mounted Hitch on 2013 Toyota Tundra
- According to Curt, if the truck is equipped with the skid plate, the skid plate will need to be removed or have the 4 inch diameter hole cut into it to allow for oil changes. The hitch cannot be removed each time the oil needs changing, because the hitch hardware is designed for one-time usage only. Once the bolts are install and torqued one time, any subsequent removal/installation would stretch and weaken the bolts, leading to an unknown weight rating.
So, you can remove the skid plate

You can measure from the hitch pin hole out to the closest edge of the bumper to see if the D-28 would provide enough clearance.
