Most Popular Vehicle Snowplow for 2013 Ram 1500

Great plow, easy to use and reasonably priced. However, do not go with the DK2 plow lights. Nobody seems to know what wire harness kit you need for your truck and DK2 will not help you. Thank goodness the rest of the plow is quality or you probably wouldn't get an answer from them just like they never returned multiple emails or calls regarding a wire harness for their plow light attachments. I like the plow but cannot back the company for lack of supporting their products and consumers.

I love my Summit II Plow. I have it on a 2000 Jeep Wrangler. I was unsure if my Jeep could handle this size plow, but it handles it very well. With my Jeep I can plow my driveway easier than a pickup with the short vehicle/wheelbase turning and maneuvering in small places. Installation was pretty easy with the custom mounting brackets. The only problem I had was the shoes being too short. I replaced them with Item # 3371303002 at etrailer and they work fine. I live in Minnesota where we get plenty of snow and this sure beats plowing with an ATV which I used before I bought this plow.

We purchased the DK2 Rampage II snowplow in Nov.2015, and started using it in Oct. 2016. Now it's been a little over a year, and the snow plow stopped working. After careful inspection, we found out the winch installed in the plow is an used+defective one (inside screws and rubber washer are not in place). It would be great if all parts are new and without defect. What's worse, we tried to call the 1-800 on the instruction manual for ordering a replacement part, but never got any human being to answer the phone after trying for a week. Finally we found the phone # of the seller - etrailer from my old email folder. It would be more convenient if you could have placed your phone # on the manual so that customers can easily contact you in case of any problem. Thank you for listening.

I bought this K2RAMP8219 snow plow to take care of small properties in my neighborhood. Had a mechanic install the electrical under the hood and I put together the parts as described in the instructions. Everything seemed fine. Hooked up the plow to the vehicle and it lifted fine and lowered fine. Soon as we got our first small snowfall I try to plow my back driveway and it wasn't enough snow to see how will the plow worked so I tried to remove the plow from the hitch and couldn't get the plow off. I tried moving the vehicle to all sorts of areas on my driveway and still would not unhook. Had to Dremel the plow bracket of the hitch . Then tried to get it back on and it wouldn't go back on. Called technical support and told them of this problem and they sent a new hitch and that didn't work either. Now the snow plow sits in my backyard and can't do anything with it.

Works great plows like a 1ton with a 6 k plow on it. Fast shipping easy assembly. Couldn't be happier

I've had this plow for over a year and still haven't had the opportunity to use it yet ( No Snow ) , assembly was easy enough for one person, like the wheels on the blade had to drill out the holes a little to get the pins to go in , and the stand in the back had to be cut off to keep it from hitting the back of the bumper and not going all the way down. Other than a few minor modifications seems well built.

Decent plow for the price. I installed this DK2 Avalanche on a 2003 GMC Yukon 1500 with a Curt front receiver hitch 31302. If you have a side mount battery, you may need battery bolt extenders (Battery Doctor #30400) to make life easier. That said, the ring terminal connectors on the winch control box will be too small. Get ones that will fit the 3/8 inch stud and 12-10 AWG wire to replace the stock ones. Manufacturer instructions are not very helpful, but Graz's Garage has a great install video on YouTube. He installed his on a 2020 Chevy Colorado Z71. You can always count on a gearhead from Detroit. eTrailer is awesome at responding to concerns, too, and I'm glad I bought this product from them.

My plow was delivered quickly. It took a bit longer to assemble than I thought it would, but it seems pretty heavy duty and looks and works great for my 600' long driveway. It's much better and quicker than plowing with my 4 wheeler and warmer too.

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.

Bolted up with little effort. Work's great!

I purchased a SnowBear Proshovel Snowplow and a 2" Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver for my 2001 Ford Explorer Sport Trac. The front mount hitch receiver was a breeze to mount to my vehicle. Literally 15 minutes from start to finish. When the SnowBear plow arrived I was a little apprehensive, as it came in 3 separate boxes and some assembly was required. The directions included were phenomenal, easy to understand and took you through complete assembly step by step. This has been a wonderful experience and I could not be happier.

This little plow has been perfect for a Jeep Wrangler. I used it all winter and it kept the driveway clear, no complaints.

It would have been nice if the gentleman who sold me my snow plow would have told me that I needed a drop down hitch instead of a straight hitch, which makes a big difference when trying to plow.

Overall it's a good light duty plow, works like it's supposed to, clears the snow with no problems. Originally purchased the plow with the hitch receiver mount, But the plow stuck out quite a bit in my opinion plus there was to much wobble. So I converted to the 2 point mount which brought the plow in closer and a lot less wobble. There was an issue with the actuator, it would work intermittently when lowering the plow but Snow Bear covered it under warranty and sent me a new one. My only gripe is that only after 3 months of Winter use, the whole plow was showing a lot of surface rust and the paint was peeling.

Overall it is a good setup, does the job it's suppose to. Had one problem with the actuator intermittently working when lowering the plow, but was replaced under warranty. Originally purchased to use in a front mounted hitch receiver, but switched to the two point hookup which brought the plow in closer to the vehicle and made it a little more stable. My only problem was after 3 months of winter use, paint was peeling and a lot of surface rust showing.

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

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

Better than a snowblower!! Made very well, had it put together and mounted in a couple hours. Used it for two small snowfalls and it worked as expected. Great customer service from etrailer!

I bought a Snow bear personal plow and a separate Curt receiver hitch for the front of my 2012 F250.. after speaking with Erica W. several times due to blunders on my part, all was perfect. Quick delivery, price was right, items are super rugged. The stock photos don't do justice. My plow came in at 350 pounds without the receiver hitch. It's not a cheap toy plow. Get one, they'll fit nearly anything! Thanks Erica!!

I Went to a body shop to get the brackets installed. I could not get to the bolt area. They did it in 1/2 hour , took front bumper and fender off. I assembled plow and attached it. Have used it for 2 big snow storms and am happy with it.

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.

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.

This thing is fantastic! My girlfriend and I put this thing together. It is perfect for keeping up with a storm. It is sturdy, takes a beating and keeps on going. I have a 2014 Ram ecodiesel. Would not use this plow setup for professional jobs however, only because it isn’t heavy enough to plow through mounds of snow covered ice. And when I say mounds, I mean 2 feet high and dense. Only drawback was shipping: I never received a tracking number from the shipping company but it did ship right away and was delivered in the time frame I was given. Enjoy guys!

These guys are awesome. Great support during and after purchase.

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

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.

For the money you can't beat it. If you're installing this on a 1998 Grand Cherokee like I was, make sure you get the extended crossbar. My mount was right up against the bumper and didn't allow me to install my electric actuator bracket, so I had to go out and pick up a cheap winch from Menard's. Overall the whole plow system seems to be holding up nicely, I plow an uneven dirt driveway and this plow and mount has taken a decent bit of abuse. Plus it makes this old Jeep look like it has a purpose again. In conclusion, this plow was an absolute headache for myself and my brother to install. That part aside, it's sturdy and it does a helluva good job.
