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.

It looks great but we are having trouble getting the parts off the truck to install it. Butt it is going to work great thank you

I simply love it, it does everything I need it to do.

This hitch has been the best money I ever spent! Never underestimate the convince of having a front hitch - excellent! Great quality, heavy duty and installation was pretty easy. I'd recommend this hitch.

What a great package. All the bolts are in every hole so you don’t have to figure out where each one goes. Took a couple hours in the cold to assemble.

Do you have a question about this Snow Plow?


  • Replacement Option For Bent 84" Snowplow
  • We may have the replacement parts you are looking for, but I would need to know the brand and model of your current snow plow to confirm the correct parts. If there are not parts available, or if you would rather not deal with having to change them another option is to replace your current plow with a similar snowplow like the 84" wide x 22" tall Detail K2 Avalanche Elite Snowplow for 2" Hitches # K2AVAL8422ELT which can be angled 45 degrees to left and right or can be used straight

  • Recommended Snowplow for a 2024 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
  • I recommend using the Detail K2 Elite Snowplow # K2AVAL8422ELT on the front of your 2024 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. This will attach using a Front Receiver # C31086 so you will be able to easily remove and install the plow when needed. I prefer this plow as it uses an actuator which is better than a winch style since you do not have to worry about snow and ice collecting in the cable/strap.

  • Which Front Hitch Receiver for 1997 Ram 2500 to Mount Detail K2 Avalanche Snow Plow
  • You can use the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" # 31604 on your 1997 Dodge Ram 2500 with Extended Cab and long bed, which would give you the front mounted hitch receiver you need to carry the Detail K2 Avalanche Elite Snowplow for 2" Hitches - 84" Wide x 22" Tall # K2AVAL8422ELT. Additionally, you would not need any type of drop adapter for this setup. You could also use the Detail K2 Avalanche Snowplow for 2" Hitches - 84" Wide x 22" Tall # K2AVAL8422, which

  • Will A Leveling Kit Be Required To Use A DK2 Elite Snowplow
  • The Detail K2 Elite Snowplow for 2" Hitches # K2AVAL8422ELT doesn't require a leveling kit or list any specific heights that the front-mounted hitch needs to be at so you should be fine without one. That being said you are adding a considerable amount of tongue weight to the hitch so you could run into very little clearance between the ground and snow plow components. This plow has a shipping weight of 334lbs so you can expect it to be close to 330lbs once all the packaging is removed

  • What Is the Required Receiver Height for the Detail K2 Avalanche Elite Snowplow
  • The Detail K2 Avalanche Elite Snowplow part # K2AVAL8422ELT will work with a front mount trailer hitch that is between 9" to 18" from the ground to the bottom inside edge of the receiver tube according to Detail K2. The blade height is adjustable which is why there is such a large range. If your front mount trailer hitch is not within this range then your only option is to use a drop front mount trailer hitch. If you can let me know the year, make, and model of the vehicle I can see

  • Will Curt Front Hitch # C31061 Fit a 2011 Nissan Titan 4 Wheel Drive and 2 Wheel Drive
  • I spoke with my contact at Curt and they verified that the Curt Front Hitch, part # C31061, is designed to only fit the 4WD model of the 2011 Nissan Titan. He did say it would line up to the frame of the 2WD model, but he said the 2WD model does not have the holes or existing weld nuts on the frame for the hitch to attach to, so it is not recommended. I am including a link to the installation instructions to show you how it attaches on the 4WD model.

  • Installation of Curt Front Mount Hitch on a 2010 Nissan Titan
  • I spoke to Curt and they informed me that you would either need to remove or cut into the skid plate for the hitch to mount properly on the Pro-4X model. Also its important to note that modification is up to the installer. It may be easier to remove the skid plate completely, since it would need excessive modifications to work.

  • Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver Fitment on a 2012 Nissan Titan 2WD
  • I have a solution for you to install a front mount hitch receiver on your 2012 Nissan Titan 2WD but there aren't any custom fit options that will line up right off the bat. The Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # C31061 is designed to match up with existing mounting holes in the frame of a 4WD Titan but these same holes don't exist for the 2WD. This means the hitch brackets line up with the frame on your vehicle, you'll just have to drill out your frame first. Curt doesn't necessarily
