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.

2008 Ford F-150
Bought this DK2 plow in Jan 2023, and naturally we had no more snow the rest of the winter. Just got to use it last week after getting a foot of snow. Worked great, easier than I expected. The written instructions could’ve been a bit clearer on how to attach the assembled plow to the truck, but it was easy enough to figure out. Very happy with the purchase
by: David03/28/2021
Product is great! Exceeds my expectations for ease of installation and performance. I removed the 3” spoiler completely vs cutting for hitch. The key is to “dry fit” in place and use a metal punch to mark all your drill holes. Wire bolt feeder worked great for installing bolts. I used the hitch to mount my eight pole rod & cooler holder for surf fishing.
by: Gary S10/06/2014
Super fast shipping,but could use better packing.Hitch actually made a large hole in box,UPS driver had me check to see if anything was missing.Easy install,but try finding a 17/32" bit. After seeing how big the front opening is I just used a 1/2" bit. I think it took longer to remove, trim and reinstall the front spoiler than the rest of the job. Looks great installed

2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
The hitch was as I expected. Went on with not much trouble The directions say to be careful when positioning the hitch after installing the bolts in the frame not to lose then up in the frame I just used my hot glue gun to hold them in place. Us eighty one year olds have to work smarter

2010 Chevrolet Suburban
Here are some pictures of my new hitch on my 2010 Chevy Suburban. It was received in great shape, instructions were very helpful and install was fairly easy. It was a pleasure doing business with you guys and a big thank you to George J
for his follow ups.
by: Steve Y.07/01/2012
So far so good! Looks and feels like a high quality product, the welding looks great, everything was fabricated square and accurately. The first thing I did was remove the lower black fascia from my truck so it is easier to properly locate the hitch. Once properly located on frame of truck and mounting are holes are marked all you have to do is simply drill four 17/32" holes and fish bolts thru frame. The fish wire that is provided to pull the bolts through the frame was ingenious, someone was really thinking when they designed this. This was truly a breeze to install.

2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
I bought this for my 2016 Chevy 1500. We used a jack to hold the hitch in place to mark the drill spots. It had two holes already there so we drilled out 4 and up it went. Very easy! Within a couple of hours we were taking out e-bikes to the park.

I don't write reviews often
I wanted to share my experience installing C31012
Over the years I've purchased 6 or 7 hitches from etrailer. I had completely different experience this time. I don't recall seeing website comments that drilling was required or the expected install time..
Usually the website is accurate or maybe I just missed theses items.
So the install video for 2014 Sierra doesn't apply for 2017 and maybe later.
The CURT instructions also have the access hole wrong. Its the front hole.
There are no others.
Maybe mentioning a trick to put tape on threads before removing feeder. So easy to lose the bolt with a slip when raising the hitch into place.
What was most difficult was measuring for precisely drilled hole locations with off road skirt blocking frame to frame access.
My solution was to clamp hitch C31012 in position with 24" woodworker clamps.
Align the front holes and get the exact hole positions for the drilling.
The factory solution should be to tell CURT that making all 3 holes on both sides OVAL.
That provides a little margin for error.
Thanks
PS ......because I had the clamps, the install time was under 1 hour.
AND on my truck, NO cutting of bumper valance was needed
by: Dave G01/15/2021
After I got the front hitch installed, the plow assembled and hooked up I spent a little time tweaking the skid plates to keep the plow just off of the gravel. Works great for our 100 yard driveway and parking area.
by: Richard 12/22/2021
Another excellent product from etrailer! Works perfectly and was super easy to install. I recommend etrailer to all my friends and family

2010 Chevrolet Tahoe
e-trailer service and shipping were fantastic! As far as the Curt front receiver for 2007 Tahoe, the product is very well made and the install took about 1 hour. The ground clearance is not good. Ground clearance on my 2007 Tahoe is 7 inches and the angle of approach is half what it used to be. Angle of approach with my receiver winch is unacceptable. I also purchased the Roadmaster 10,000 pound 6 inch high/low hitch adapter and that helps to get the winch up, but the receiver is still plowing through mud. If you have a 2007+ Tahoe, get the Curt front mount skid shield to avoid catching the receiver hitch on rocks or driveways. I'd rather have a receiver through the license plate area or higher for better ground clearance and no loss on angle of approach - so I'm looking to custom build one since I can't find a manufacturer that makes one.

Chevrolet Suburban
I ordered my Front Receiver for my Suburban back in January and received it about 3-4 days later. I was extremley pleased with the order process. I finally got around to puting it on in March????
Installation was a breeze, you do have to drill 4 holes but it was no big deal. Then I thought the hard part was going to be fishing the bolt/washers into the drilled holes but it was a piece of cake and actually was kinda fun. The "fishing" lines provided in the kit were great and they are now in my tool box in case I ever need to go "fishing" again. The Hitch works great and makes moving my trailers around a snap.
I chose not to trim the front spoiler because it looks fine to me.
I also now have a really neat step to get under the hood and I am going to add a winch stand and other toys to it.
Thanks the product is great!!!!!!!!!

Curt products are always good. Yet to install this hitch, but sure it will work fine as my previous Curt front mount hitch which unfortunately would not fit my new truck.
by: AO12/17/2010
Good Product/Install, Loss of Ground ClearanceInstall directions were detailed and straight foward. Having the right drills, bits, and sockets make the project easy. I spent 1.5 hours verse the recommended 45 minutes as a non-professional installer. Very pleased with the product, but instead of having to trim any fascia, the lowest part of the receiver sits below the fascia, making this the lowest point of the vehicle. I was hoping the receiver would maintain the vehicles stock ground clearance, but it is just too low. I installed this to carry a portable mounted winch and it may be too low to do this job effectively.
by: Jack S.02/28/2014
Hitch was ordered, delivered in a timely manner. Suggest you offer 17/32 drill bits as I have visited Lowes, Home Depot, and 5 independent Hardware stores, no one has this size drill bit. I do not wish to use a readily available 9/16 drill bit, but may have too!!!

Love it! It was very easy to install. 30 minutes max. The fish wire worked great. This will make it very easy to maneuver my boats into tight garage.

- I am not sure why the instructions are not opening for you so I can email them to you in a separate email. But in the instructions step 4 says to drill four 17/32 inch holes.
There is some fascia trimming required to install the hitch also shown in the instructions so you will need to compare them to your truck to see if the crash avoidance system or parking assist system will get in the way. Based on pictures I have seen of the hitch installed on customers trucks I do not believe it

- I spoke with my contact at Curt and he told me that there is only one mounting option for the Curt Front Hitch, # C31012. This hitch was designed to mount to the underside of the frame rails, hanging below the frame as it is pictured (see photo). He also told me that this hitch was not designed or tested to mount in any other orientation and doing so could not only cause damage to the hitch and your vehicle, but would void the warranty of the hitch.

- The Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" # C31012 and the Curt # C31069 are more similar than different as you stated with the same capacities and mounting location.

I am of the opinion that no drilling is the much better option then one that requires drilling. Drilling into a vehicle frame isn't easy because the frame is so strong. So avoiding that is a good thing! That is why if it were my truck I would choose # 65064.
