Note: Due to the size of this item it ships via truck freight.
The SnowBear Proshovel conveniently slides into your vehicle's front-mounted trailer hitch for easy, convenient mounting. Smoothly and easily raise and lower the plow from the comfort of your cab with the remote-controlled electric actuator. The pivoting blade makes this plow ideal for rocky or uneven surfaces because it can adjust to the terrain. Angled trip springs are also built in to help keep the blade from catching and tripping.
Simple, Hitch-Mounted Installation
This hitch-mounted snowplow simply slides into your vehicle's front trailer hitch receiver, making it a breeze to install. Unlike a plow that attaches to custom-fit brackets, which ties you down to just 1 vehicle, 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 Proshovel snowplow, just slide the shank of the plow assembly into your 2" trailer hitch receiver . Then use a pin and clip or a hitch lock (sold separately) to secure the plow in the receiver.
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, or 22 degrees 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 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 or the in-cab toggle switch, 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 Proshovel.
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
The electric actuator on this plow allows you to lift and lower the blade using a toggle switch that mounts in your cab. You can also use the included wireless remote control. To raise the plow, 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. Having fewer moving parts than a typical winch makes this setup less complicated and less likely to break down than other plow lifting and lowering devices. There is also an internal clutch system that prevents damage to the actuator should you try to raise the blade too high or lower it too low.

I think it will serve great purposes with a new winch hitch attachment and when I'm not using it I will install a step for easy engine access
Fantastic Hitch. Tucked in so well people dont see it until I tell them it is there. I have used it to push my trailer into tight spots in the woods, carry two coolers using a hitch carrier and with my Yakima Bed Extender extended all the way in the front to carry the long kayaks between the front hitch and the sport bar so I could still tow the trailer. The front hitch is a game changer for loading options
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.
Great product and heavy duty construction. I have the GM metal front skid plate under my truck and the skid plate will not work with the front hitch without some modifications and time spent with the angle grinder. This is not etrailer's fault. Aftermarket product paired with an aftermarket product. I did get the skid plate mounted with the front hitch for an awesome combination of usefulness and protection. The only thing that I do not like is that the front of the hitch mounts to a crossbar under the radiator that appears very flimsy. Just be cautious about how much weight you apply to the hitch. Again, this isn't etrailer's fault. This is the same mounting location as all aftermarket front hitches. I feel sure that the hitch will serve it's intended use as a winch cradle mount. I will recommend a hitch receiver skid plate. I don't have one yet and I can see that I'll be dragging the hitch until I get my lift kit installed.
Solid and heavy duty as expected. Instructions need to be improved. Pics blacked out from being copied to many times. I had to grind down the edge of front mounting tabs to get it bolted to the cross bar.
The hitch was pretty easy to install and seems like it should work fine for the plow I purchased.
Very straight forward and easy installation, as per instructions, if you have a buddy to help, it would have been a little faster. Removing the plastic skid plate attachment was definitely required as the forward bolt heads prevent the proper alignment of the receiver mounting holes. After installation I slid the plastic skid plate back into place,the entire front edge is held in place by the new installation and only the back two bolts were required to hold it securely. I have ordered several items over the years and they are always perfect fits and as easy installation as you could want for us do it ourselfers DIO's. I made a custom canoe tie down, the boat is shorter than my truck, and I didn't want the tie downs going across the hood.
This was very easy to install. I made a template from cardboard To mark the area to cut on on the plastic scoop. I simply cut the 3 by 3.5 inch area as recommended in the instructions. I used a Dremel tool and it cut very easily. I would recommend you get an extra set of hands to hold the hitch in place while installing the bolts. I also used the Dremel tool to cut down the skid plate. I cut it down by .5 inches per the directions. Make sure when reinstalling the skid plate you get the front in between the hitch and truck frame. This took a little playing to get this in place but once complete it fit very tight without the front bolts. Instructions were very good and completed job in under an hour.
It didn’t fit my 2016 Chevy Colorado. I had to do major adjustments
Put the front hitch on my 2016 Colorado for my snow sport snow plow and it fit perfect. I have bought 4 of these over the years for different vehicles and I highly recommend it.
Fast shipping
Easy solo install, works great.
Fits perfect. hardly tell that it's there. Works great for moving the boat.

perfect
Fit perfect, easy install, love it for my surf rod rack!
Received hitch very quickly and exactly what I needed.
Very happy with this product and your service. Not my first purchase from etrailer, and it was my previous experience that brought me back again. Arrived quickly and in perfect shape. Fit perfectly and performs the same. I'll be back!
Due to weather conditions of rain and low clearance under my GMC Canyon, I had our local repair shop install the receiver. Not really easy unless using a lift. Fit perfectly and not really noticeable.
Plan to use to move my camper when parking in my driveway.
Over the years I have purchased many products from etrailer and I've never been disappointed. The products are top-notch, the delivery time is very quick and when I have called with questions customer service is extremely helpful and knowledgeable.
Fit well, works as intended. Happy with the purchase.
I have not attempted to install yet,but the service I received from William was beyond excellent. Shipping extremely fast and very satisfied.

That is odd Bruce, there are other reviews on this product that state this fits on their 2016 Chevy Colorado. I think you may have gotten a flexed hitch. This is common and it isnt bad. It just happens due to the nature of shipping and the steel used.
