Detail K2 Plow Length

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.


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.


Detail K2 Hitch Mount

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.


Detail K2 Caster Wheel

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.


How to Plow

Detail K2 Adjustable Plow Position

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.


Smooth, Controlled Lifting with Electric Actuator

Detail K2 Elite snow plow actuator

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.


Detail K2 Features

Detail K2 Skid Shoes

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.


Detail K2 Blade Stiffener

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.


Detail K2 Trip Springs

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.

I've purchased and installed many hitch products for various vehicles over the years and often installations were difficult as the design and instructions did not recognize or make provision for obstructions caused by other components on the vehicle. So I was very pleasantly surprised with the fast and easy installation of this unit. The "fish wire" worked perfectly - the entire installation was complete in an hour. The quality and fit surpassed my expectations - especially considering the low price and prompt delivery. Absolutely will buy and recommend exclusively Curt products in the future. I know this endorsement may sound to good to be believed - but trust me - these folks do their homework and deserve your patronage. AMERICAN MADE TOO ! 2005 GMC Envoy

Thanks for the follow up and reply I did want to remind you to make sure that the weight of your scooter and your hitch are within the vehicle capacities, and traveling safefly according to local regulations regarding visibility etc.

Very easy installation with the hardware that is included. The spring bolt pullers work excellent.since install I have used it for a Snowsport snow plow with no issues at all. The fitment of unit was precise.



by: Carlos02/20/2021

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!

Arrived in two days just as promised where another supplier was stating 2-3 months delivery. Instillation was fairly easy, the fish wire helps tremendously, and I installed it by myself in just over an hour. I was worried that It would not fit with my existing bull bar but it came out great with just a couple of cuts in the skid plate. it looks good and now I have a good strong recovery point for the front.



by: Mark 01/23/2024

This is a nice hitch that was very easy to install. Unfortunately, the vehicle was stolen before we could use it to plow snow.

When I opened, I asked to myself: "How I will install this?", but eventually I saw all the instructions and a great help was a you tube video, took to me about an hour to install this, that was fast considering that I never did this before, please consider to buy a torque meter to be sure you tide it well. My plan is to carry a dirt bike to FL.

Thanks for your review and your business, Carlos. Often, local auto parts stores will rent torque wrenches so you may safely install your hitch. I hope this helps!

Great

I launch my boat from a boat ramp on my property using the front hitch. Actually my wife launches the boat while I am in it. She cannot back a vehicle with a boat and trailer, but she easily puts the boat in the water using a front hitch.

2017 Chevrolet Suburban

This is my 3rd receiver that I have installed and it fit perfectly. My first, a front reciever on an 05 Suburban went real smooth. My 2nd, a rear hitch on a 17 Elantra was even easier. My latest, a front receiver on an 03 GMC Envoy wasn't as easy. This was due to getting my hands up to the access holes as well as having to work the hitch up and around the sway bar. Took me about 2 Hours, but finally got it in place. Once past the sway bar it moved right into place and bolted up fine. Would definitely purchase from E-Trailer again, as the fit is perfect. Shipping was unbelievably fast on each of my 3 orders.

i bought this hitch receiver to help mount a winch to the front of my Chevy SUV. i travel on many rough, rocky, muddy and snowy roads and get stuck frequently almost always when there is no help available. Now, with the winch in place I can count on getting myself out of trouble when the time comes.



by: Dave D.02/11/2009

Great ProductVery handy for moving my two trailers around and hitch is out of site when not in use,Installation was fairly easy.You will have to remove the two front bolts if there is a plate over your oildrain plug in order to access the frame opening.

  • Is there a Video that Shows How to Perform the Fishwire Technique to Install a Trailer Hitch
  • The CURT Front Mount Receiver, # 31055, does bolt to the vehicle frame rails but the bolts do not go all the way through each frame rail. Instead, like you have said, you will fishwire the hardware into the inside of each frame rail through access holes in the frame. The fishwire technique is not as difficult as you might think. Even though I do not have a video showing the hitch being installed on a 2006 GMC Envoy, I can provide a link that explains and shows how to fishwire hardware.

  • Will Curt Front Mount Hitch Part # 31055 Fit the 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer SS Without Trimming
  • I spoke with my contact at Curt, and they have not had a chance to test fit the front mount hitch on an SS model. Frame should be the same between the SS and other models, but the SS front fascia is much different so it may require some fascia trimming, but they do not know where since they have not had a chance to fit one yet. The radiator may also be different or larger since the SS model got the 6.0 LS2 V8, a larger, higher output V8 than what came in the other V8 Trailblazer models. We
