Hitch-mounted residential plow has shock-absorbing springs and a steel-edge blade to easily clear driveways and parking lots. Long-lasting actuator with internal clutch and wireless remote lets you raise or lower the 3-position blade from your cab.

Specs:
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Easily attach a variety of accessories to the front of your vehicle with this fully welded, corrosion-resistant trailer hitch receiver. Perfect for winches, spare tire carriers and more.

Shipping was quick.
Only issue I had: product was not listed as fitting a two door Jimmy/Blazer. Contacted e-trailer and they said it would not work. Called Curts and they confirmed that it WOULD work. Also, since I have both a 2 and 4 door, I could not find any differences in the vehicles. Other than that, it was a fine transaction.
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!
This is the 5th trailer hitch that I have ordered from etrailer.com. They have all worked great. On Monday I called and spoke with Amanda about a front hitch for my S10. I received it Tuesday afternoon. I had it installed within about 30 minutes, though I could have done it in about 10 using an impact driver. It went on perfectly and works great. It is a strange thing to "back" my trailer up with it in front of me. I am not sure how it would work with a very large or enclosed trailer (mine is not.) It works great and looks beautiful on the front of my truck. Thanks again etrailer for a great hitch.
Very solid construction. Package arrived very quickly and installation went smoothly after watching the video on the web site.
I bought the same front hitch from [online]. Tried to install it and was off by 1/4 inch. Had to send it back. Same day I bought the hitch from etrailer. They mailed it to me the same day and it arrived one day early. I just installed it with no problems. Fits perfectly.
As usual the Curt Hitch Company hits a homerun.
I have used or installed many Curt Hitches both for my personal use and recommended use for friends use.
They are in my opinion are top of the line Hitches. Well made with clean welds and an excellent powder coating finish.
Strong and reliable construction with a perfect fit and unlike many other brands they are an AMERICAN MADE PRODUCT.
Great Value you can not go wrong buying a Curt Hitch.
I received my front receiver hitch and was happy that it was packaged well without being over-packaged. It arrived sooner than expected which was nice and had no scratches or dings from shipping. I bought this for a custom application I'm planning and the price was under what I had anticipated I'd be spending. The whole process was very pleasant.
Easy to order, informative video, able to view shipping, packed well ( included written instructions were too general but used the video as a better source on instructions ), easy installation within unpacking, searching for my tools, rolling on the garage floor ( no need to jack up front of vechile ), and testing new front hitch in forty-five minutes. Thank you !
Received the hitch for my 1999 4x4 4 door Blazer today took less than 30 minutes to install looks sharp would buy from E-Trailer again. This is the Curt Front Mount Hitch 2 inch -31021
Works great, use it on a S10 Blazer with an electric snow plow, and it hasn't disappointed.
Shipped quickly, fit with no drilling, installed in about 30 minutes. Fits it close under license plate. Just what I needed. Will be using it for light plow.
