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.

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.

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, 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.

Easy Lifting with 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

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.

2003 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

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.1221734

by: Christopher04/20/2022

The hitch was well-made, and installing it was very easy. However, the design of the hitch is somewhat perplexing. The hitch receiver hangs about 3 inches lower than it needs to, which reduces the ground clearance on the front of the truck significantly. See attached photos. The hitch will work until I find something better, That restores the front ground clearance1287935

This front hitch carrier has been a life saver for us. I reviewed all the bike mounting options I could find for our truck camper and decided that mounting the bikes on a front receiver hitch was the way to go. The customer service at the front end was excellent. I needed to be sure that the position of the hitch receiver would allow a) enough ground clearance, b) that the bikes would not be touching the front grill of the truck, c) that the bikes would not be sitting up so high that the view of the driver would be obstructed and d) that I would actually be able to do the install myself. Well, the customer service gal on the phone was very helpful and took a lot of time to research and answer all my questions and I felt confident that I was getting the right item. I was able to install the receiver in less than 2 hours with the help of my neighbor. The instructions were clear and the install went fairly smoothly. The end result is an excellent product that is very strong and durable and holds our bike rack perfectly. We have logged over 5000 miles since installing it last spring and I could not be happier with how things have worked out!607843

2018 Ford Transit Connect

Installed on a 2018 Chevy 3500HD (diesel)

Product arrived as scheduled in a shipping box that was damaged in transit. Upon inspection of the contents, it was determined everything was fine and all installation parts were securely attached to the hitch. It's understandable that a cardboard box with a 35 pound steel frame will get some damage in handling.

Installation: Absolutely watch the video online, it is extremely helpful! I jacked up the front of my truck about 6 inches and set jack stands in place on the jacking blocks behind front wheel wells. I also removed the plastic debris guard (4-15mm bolts) for easier access to the mounting points. I must say, the threaded pull wires are a wonderful addition that made the installation flawless! Take your time and follow the enclosed instructions (and video) and it should take you about 30-45 minutes. I am an average mechanic at best and this was a really easy install!

Be aware that adding the hitch up front will require you be careful with parking curbs, however I think the hitch is stout enough to insure it will destroy a concrete curb. Probably best to avoid testing that theory.

I test mounted a motorcycle carrier on the from of the truck and loaded up a KTM 690 Duke. (315 lbs) Virtually no sag in the front suspension and to bike should ride well with proper pads & tie-downs. Makes for an interesting hood ornament ;)

All in all, a great product and vendor. You can buy with confidence.600054

Overall quality looking hitch. The side-flanges were not wide enough to fit around my ‘16 Sierra 3500 frame which was extremely difficult to install, especially with the fish-wire. Had to use a floor jack to push the hitch into place and remove the skid plate and thankfully there was an access hole in the frame where the flange-bolt goes. Did not want to cut a hole behind the license plate so this was the only option and would buy again if needed but the flanges should be 1/16th to an 1/8 of an inch wider. 802725

• Can K2 Detail Avalanche K2AVAL8422 Be Swapped Between 2002 Toyota Tundra and Ford F-350

To install the # K2AVAL8422 on your 2002 Toyota Tundra, you'll need a front mount hitch like # 31180. You will be able to used the plow on both trucks, but unless you want to move all the wiring each time, you'll need an additional winch control box # K2WCB and wireless remote # EWX004-CAD for the second vehicle.

The Elite also uses a chain connection to the blade while the basic K2 has a strap that is more likely to become damaged. The electric actuator is superior to the winch. It operates faster, smoother and it has a built in clutch that will protect against damage that a winch would cause. The actuator won't be able to lift the blade

• Correct Front Mounted Receiver for 2005 Chevy Silverado
  
• The # K2AVAL8422 K2 plow attaches to the vehicle using a standard front mounted hitch. The hitch you need will depend on whether your Silverado is a 1500 or a 1500 HD model. The easy way to differentiate between the two is the hubs. The 1500 has 6 bolt hubs while the 1500HD has 8 bolt hubs. If you have the 1500 model, I'd recommend the Curt # 31302. If you have the 1500HD model, use the Curt # 31108. I've linked to installation videos for both hitches mentioned above.

• In order to use the Detail K2 Snowplow # K2AVAL8422, your front hitch must be between 13"-18" from the ground, when measured from the bottom of the receiver opening to the ground. We installed the Curt front hitch # C31018 on a 2012 F250 where everything was stock, and the front hitch was at about 15-1/2". So with a 6" lift and big tires, this snow plow would likely not be effective. You can always measure your hitch to be sure, but your lifted truck will likely not be able to be used

• Snow Plow and Mount Recommendation for 1994 Jeep Wrangler 4WD

• I spoke with my contact over at Curt and he said that front mount receiver # C31071 will fit your 2015 GMC Sierra 2500 Denali. The air dam may need to be trimmed for the hitch to fit. We haven't had anyone complain about the ground clearance but the receiver will be under the front fascia so it is possible that it could make contact with the ground at severe enough inclines. The Draw-Tite hitch, # 65068, will not fit because the receiver is mounted higher up on the cross member compared

• Will Curt Front Mount Receiver Fit a 2015 GMC Sierra 3500 with Fisher Plow Push Plates Installed
  
• The front mount receivers for your 2015 GMC Sierra 3500 including # C31071 are designed to fit stock models of the truck. In other words, they do not test them with other items installed on the trucks. Basically what you will have to do is look at the instructions. Then you would compare that to how and where your Fisher plow push plates are installed. If they occupy the same space and/or use the same mounting locations then you would have to use one or the other but not both.

• Will the Curt Front Hitch Receiver Fit with a Ranch Hand Legend Grill Guard?
  
• Both the Ranch Hand Legend Grille Guard and the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver item # C31071 use the same method of install but different attachment points on the front end of the frame. There is one common bolt hole on either side that they use which may require you purchasing a longer bolt.

• Weight Capacity of Curt # C31071 Front Mounted Receiver for 2015 GMC Sierra 2500
  
• The Curt Front Mounted Receiver Hitch, part # C31071 has a 500 lb vertical line pull, so it can handle a vertical load of 500 lbs. Not only will you need to consider the weight of the bike in that 500 lb figure, you'll also need to consider the weight of the carrier you're using. My concern about using a motorcycle carrier on the front of a vehicle is that it can obstruct some of the airflow to the radiator, or could block some of he drivers vision and interfere with the headlights.

• Alternate Installation Method for Installing Curt Hitch # C31071 on 2015 Silverado 3500
  
• Thanks for letting us know how the install of the Curt Hitch part # C31071 went on your 2015 Chevy Silverado 3500. Sometimes hitches can get slightly bent in shipping which can cause the clearances to be tighter than intended. I am not 100% that is what happened in your situation but it is possible. Either way I am glad you got it figured out and installed. As long as you get all of the bolts installed and torqued to the specs in the installation instructions the way you get everything

• Can Front Hitch and Plow Be Used on Front of 2016 Chevy Silverado 2500
  
• I really wish I could say yes, but plow mounts and front hitches occupy the same area on the front frame of a vehicle so they can't normally be installed at the same time. Only option would be to install the front hitch and go with a plow that mounts in a hitch if you really need both. The K2 # K2AVAL8219 would work well with the Curt Front Hitch part # C31071 which is a confirmed fit for your 2016 Chevy Silverado 2500.
