Detail K2 Plow Length

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.


Detail K2 Hitch Mount

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.


Detail K2 Caster Wheel

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

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.


Detail K2 Wireless Remote 2.4Ghz

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

Detail K2 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

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.

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

Great customer service and product.

Excellent for a home plow! Does the job but hard to use in heavy wet snow but good for the average snow fall



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.

2016 Ford F-350 Super Duty

The quality and fit is exceptional. So much so that this is the third hitch assembly I've purchased and installed. This one was for my brother in-laws 1999 F350. I also put a 10k winch on a slider that works perfectly with this assembly. Other vehicles I purchased and installed assemblies on are a 2011 F350 and a 2016 Class C motorhome. Very happy.



by: James 02/19/2021

Great receiver. Didn't actually fit my truck's front bumper, but I was able to make some spacers to get it mounted. Works great for the mounting spot for a rig that holds my kayak on top of the truck.



by: Eric 04/22/2021
2004 Ford F-350 Super Duty

I installed this on my 2004 F350 super duty. The install was straight forward and for the most part easy. I did have a hard time getting the nuts on the top bolts even with the handles on them just from lack of space, but got them on there and it looks clean.



by: Nv Mb10/29/2019

Well built. Good hardware included. Not a perfect fit. Definitely required some additional drilling and fabrication. Budget some extra time.



by: Jonathan02/24/2018

Just as expected. Makes your bumper stick out about a 14 inch further but you cant really tell without carefull inspection.



by: Philip 02/02/2023

Very easy ordering, communication, shipping! Pricing very reasonable! We will order again if needed! Thank you!



by: Bill F09/10/2020

The Curt front hitch receiver is doing a great job at holding my 12,000 pound winch. I have done several double line pulls off of that hitch receiver, no bending, no problems.



by: Josh 10/01/2021

Well worth the money use it for my winch during the snow and it works amazing

Do you have a question about this Snow Plow?


  • Required Hitch Height of Detail K2 Snowplow for 2 Hitches 88 Wide x 26 Tall
  • The Detail K2 Snowplow for 2" Hitches part # K2AVAL8826 will require a hitch height between 13" - 18". This is measured from the ground to the bottom of the receiver opening. In regards to a 2005 Ford F-150, the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 31352 will put you in range so that's what I recommend.

  • Comparing the Curt Front Hitch 31114 and the Draw-Tite Front Hitch 65022 for a 2000 Ford F-250
  • There are virtually no structural differences between the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 31114 and the Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 65022 for your 2000 Ford F-250. They both install in the exact same location and allot for a 500/5,000 Lb vertical load and line pull rating. The main reason for the price difference is that the Curt hitch is made in the USA and has a more resistant powder coating. I have attached a sample install video for you as well.

  • Does Blocker Beam of 2006 Ford F-350 Dictate Which Front Hitch Fits
  • This is correct. If you have the Blocker Beam on your 2006 Ford F-350 you will need to use the Draw Tite hitch # 65022 or if not you'd need the # 31114. The blocker beam is a small sub-bumper behind air dam.

  • Do Fog Lights Have to Be Removed to Install Front Hitch # 31114
  • It isn't ideal to have to remove the factory fog lights to install the front hitch part # 31114 that you referenced, but since their location is the best place for mounting this hitch there unfortunately isn't a better solution. I attached an install video for this for you to check out as well.

  • Recommended Front Mount Hitch for 2021 Ford F-150 Hybrid
  • For your 2021 Ford F-150 Hybrid I recommend the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" # C31083. This is confirmed to fit all models, including your Hybrid. This hitch has a maximum line pull of 9,000 lbs and the maximum vertical load is 500 lbs. It sounds like you have the active grill shutter system, which will not be a problem when installing the hitch. If you have the active air dam, there is not a front hitch that will fit your vehicle.

  • Front-Mount Hitch For Winch On 2001 Ford F-250 Truck With Blocker Beam
  • I spoke with my contact at Curt and asked about your 2001 Ford F-250 truck. They told me that the reason for the difference in fit is due to the blocker beam that is installed on the truck. You actually purchased the correct front mounted hitch, part # C31014, if your truck has the front bumper bar. They told me that due to the bar, the hitch will be mounted in a different manner and the receiver will be below the bumper, not through the middle of the bumper like part # 31114.

  • Which Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver For a 1999 Ford Excursion
  • I reached out to Curt directly and found that the Curt Front Trailer Hitch Receiver # 31114 will work on your Ford Excursion. From my research Ford started production of the Excursion in September of 1999, but labeled them as 2000 model year vehicles. I included a picture of the Curt # 31114 for you to take a look at.

  • Does Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Fit 2007 Ford F-350 With Crossmember
  • What you are referring to is the lower front crossmember, and if your 2007 Ford F-350 Super Duty does have that crossmember you can definitely install the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # 31114. You will simply remove it (starting at about 5:45 of the video linked below), and the crossmember does get reattached (starting at about 10:05 of the video).

  • Front Mounted Hitch Receiver for 2000 Born Free Motorhome on Ford E450 Cutaway Van Chassis
  • We do indeed have one. The Curt # 33055 front mounted receiver is a fit for the 2000 Ford E450 Cutaway Van chassis used on your motorhome. I've linked you to a video that will walk you through the install. The Curt # 31114 you'd looked at is a fit for an Excursion or a Super Duty truck, and wouldn't fit your Van chassis.

  • Do Fog Lights on 2002 Ford F-350 have to be Removed to Install a Front Mount Trailer Hitch
  • To install the Curt front mount trailer hitch # 31114 the fog lights on your 2002 Ford F-350 will have to be either removed permanently or relocated. But you can install Curt front mount hitch # C31014 and keep the OEM fog lights. I have linked instructions for both hitches for you.

  • Front Mounted Trailer Hitch for 2006 Ford Super Duty Truck
  • A rear bumper trailer hitch cannot be mounted to the front of your 2006 Ford Super Duty. We do have a couple options for your front mounted hitch. We have the Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # 65022 and the Curt # 31114. Both these options will sit through the opening in the bumper. OEM Fog lights need to be removed or relocated for these hitches. I've attached instructions to help as well as videos.

  • Front Mount Hitch Fit for a 2005 Ford F-350 Super Duty
  • The front mount trailer hitch I recommend for your 2005 Ford F-350 is the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 31114 because it is made in the USA and currently our most cost effective option for a front mount hitch. I called Curt and they were not sure of where you were measuring to get a 37" frame but if you measure the distance between the two innermost mounting points (see photo) on the front end plate of your frame rail, you should get 31" and if you do the above will work

  • Will Curt Front-Mount Hitch 31114 Fit 2003 Ford 550 Four Wheel Drive
  • Curt front-mount trailer hitch # 31114 will fit the 2003 Ford F-550 cab-and-chassis but it will NOT fit the F-550 Super-Duty pickup. No front hitches are offered for the F-550 pickup. Curt hitch # 31114 does require some drilling for installation and it will also require you to remove/relocate the OEM fog lights. We also offer a similar front hitch from Draw-Tite, part # 65022, whose installation is shown in the linked video.

  • Will the Curt Front Hitch for a 2007 Ford F-250 Work with Grille Guard
  • The Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 31114 which is a fit for a 2007 Ford F-250 Super Duty installs behind the bumper beam to the end of the frame on both the driver and passenger side. I have attached a photo below which shows this. Unfortunately, we aren't able to confirm fit with aftermarket accessories so this will be up to you but based on the photo below you should be able to make the determination yourself. I did take a look at the grille guard and it does not appear

  • Correct Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch for a 2004 Ford F-350
  • I do have an option for you but the only Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver option for a 2004 Ford F-350 is part # 31114.

  • Why is Curt Front HItch 31114 Difficult to Install on 1999 Ford F350 Super Duty 4x4
  • Our contact at Curt Manufacturing said that it sounds like you have a blocker beam on your 99 F350 Super Duty 4x4. A blocker beam is a 3 inch by 1 inch steel bar that mounts underneath the frame on the front of the vehicle and could be the reason your hitch will not mount correctly. In that case you would need a Curt Front Hitch for the 1999 Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty part # C31014. However, if your truck is a cab and chassis model this hitch will not work either.

  • Front Mount Trailer Hitch and Light Bar Recommendation for a 1999 Ford F-250
  • The Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch, # 31114, that you referenced will fit your 1999 Ford F-250. If you have OEM fog lights, they must be removed because they will interfere with the front mount hitch. All of the light bars we offer for your 1999 F-250 are roof mounted light bars like part # CARR210701. The Gutterless Mount Kit, # CARR220052, is also required to mount a light bar to your truck. I have attached a link to all of the light bars we offer for your truck as well as a link

  • Comparison Between Draw-Tite # 65022 and Curt # 31114 Front Mount Receivers for 1999 Ford F250
  • The primary difference between the Draw-Tite # 65022 and the Curt # 31114 is that they're manufactured by two different companies. The hitches are nearly identical in appearance, have the same weight ratings and would install in the same manner. Because of this, you can choose the less expensive Draw-Tite model, and not feel that you sacrificed anything. If you click the provided link, you can see an install video for the Draw-Tite model.
