Hitch-mounted residential plow has shock-absorbing springs and a steel-edge blade to easily clear driveways and parking lots. 3-Position blade pushes snow straight ahead, right, or left. Wireless remote lets you raise or lower plow from your cab.

Specs:
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.
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 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 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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
It arrived in a timely manner and everything was there. But just like other reviews the packaging was weak and the receiver hitch was able to move around inside the oversize box, but thats was no big deal. Also like other reviews the bolts are too short. Tightened all the way down, the bolt is just a thread short of being flush with the nut. Which is disappointing to know after the reviews stating as such. I thought e-trailer would have rectified that. But it's on, and seems to be strong and good fit.
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.
I have a trailer/boat storage business and use my front hitch often. It has made moving trailers a lot easier! I highly recommend this product!
It's a great plow.works good the winch is a little slow and the remote is slow to respond but all in all it does what I need it to do.
I wish I had done it sooner! Makes Taking our bicycles a breeze, Kayaks on the back of our RV and the bikes on the front.
Plow seems to be of good quality, wont know till I actually use it, how good it is. Seems sturdy enough to do the job, assembly was very straight forward.
My only complaint is etrailer left me dangling for a month with no updates on my order status, even after chatting with one of their customer service people.
I ended up contacting DK2 to get a ship date.
Package arrived in a timely manner. All parts were included and packaged well.
Have an 08 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD and instalation was a breeze. Instructions included were good but would suggest watching the vidio on the website also.
Bolted up with no problems in like 20 m inutes
Great Product!
Fast delivery
The Curt front mount hitch attached easily, as advertised. We have now been able to travel with our bikes loaded on front and the slide-in camper on back. Plus, it arrived quickly enough to attach and use for our next planned camping adventure!

We think it is a great product and was easy to install. Our friends saw it and we recommended etrailer to them
Heavy duty and heavy, I had it installed by myself (with the help of a floor jack)in less than 30 minutes, love it. Now UPS, the shipper leaves a lot to be desired. Good thing the hitch was built great because the packaging was destroyed.

Yes I still think it is a great product, no I dont use it every day but when needed its there.
Easy install took about 20 minuets. Good quality with all installation hardware needed included.
Haven't had to use it yet but arrived when expected and easy to assemble and looks very easy to use. Would definitely recommend buying from etrailer.com
I bought this about an year ago for my 2009 Chevy Silverado to push 28 ft trailer. This thing saves my life every time when I need to push my trailer back to the back of the driveway. I have a narrow driveway and long too. In the past I will have to try many times to back in the trailer. Now with the front hitch the back in is much more easier. However I do find one thing that is not expected, the hitch is way too low that I am not able to use my flip folder jack foot, it does not have enough clearance to make it fully stand. I have to get a jack to lift the trailer in order to have the flip folder stand to support the trailer. But for the regular trailer jack is OK.
Curt's front mount hitch reveiver is resonably priced, stoutly made, and finished with what appears to be a solid shiney black powder coating. I especially like the fact that the receiver is positioned just below the front license plate so no modifications are needed to the front fascia, or removal of license plate to utilize. Hitch was shipped in a stout cardboard box, but not much internal padding. This seems to be Curt's standard method, as I also purchased a 34" hitch extension and was packaged similarly. The items are not likely to become damaged in shipping, but a lil more thought and effort could be put into their shipping methods. But for the value and quality you recieve that's a minor issue. Love Curt products!!!
Install was quick and easy
Bolts that go through frame were 1/4”too short.
Works great!

Easy to install and works great
I have a 2008 Silverado. The Hitch was installed in less than an hour. The pair of bolts that are installed through the frame seem to be slightly short but remember this unit is installed in shear, meaning that the loads applied to this hitch are perpendicular to the bolt, so the nut just needs to hold the bolt in place. You still need to torque to german specs "good n tight" (haha). the bolt will come flush to the nut face. All in all a very simple clean install. Im using this for a Myers Home Plow, which also installed simply.
Very well built, good fit and finish and very sturdy. Installed in about 1/2-hour. The "square hole spacer" for the carriage bolt had to be fed through the front of the frame rail (past the tow hook) as it was ever so slightly wider than the hole underneath the frame rail where the instructions show it being fed. I agree that the hex bolts could be about 1/4" to 1/2" longer, but once tightened the bolt is flush with the end of the nut. I'm glad I purchased this as now I can use my 12,000 lb. winch (& winch cradle) on both the front and back of my 2007.5 Chevy 2500HD.
Everything went as lined out in the video. I would of liked to of had longer bolts to be able to use locknuts, but went ahead and used the supplied hardware. But everything went smoothly. The only other thing I could suggest is using a little bit longer plate for the carriage bolt, as the frame on my gmc 2500hd was wide enough for the carriage bolt and metal plate to spin. I was able to get it tight enough for it to quit spinning though and get the 110lbs of torque.
All in all a good product and it fits very well.
This Curt 31109 front hitch went on a 2009 GMC 2500 Sierra crew cab with a Duramax Diesel. Shipping was incredibly fast - just 1 day! The hitch appears well built and nicely finished - and it's made right here in the USA! It fit perfectly and was very easy to install. No trimming of bumper plastic was required. My wife and I are retired and we use this truck to pull a large 5th wheel trailer or carry a truck camper. We will transporting our bicycles on the front hitch. I should have done this earlier.
Item was as described and installed easily. The bolt that fits thru the frame that holds in the tow hook should be longer in my opinion as I think the bolt should always stick out the nut a certain amount. THe fit was great and the customer suoort is excellent.
Arrived in one piece, although the packaging could have been better. the box should have been fitted better to the hitch as the hitch had too much room to move around in the box with the box being damaged. Box needed tape to secure the holes punched in the side of the box.
Awesome hitch! Great quality and fast shipping! Will buy from this company again! Highly recommend!
Great quality, installation is very easy, cost is good. Definitely happy with this product and the service.

Fine, except I wish I would have ordered and installed the one that is higher off the ground. I didnt want to cut a hole in the front so I got the one that installed underneath. Its lower than Id like it to be. Ive bumped the ground a few times.
