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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

Love the plow.
Only downside is the outside bottom corners have bent backwards while plowing. I will have to straighten and reinforce those areas. I plow six different driveways. I was using a 4whlr plow for these before and it would take me several hours to all day, with this plow its less than 4hrs including driving time and I have vehicle heat. I've had many people looking, commenting and asking about this hitch system. I recommend it and give them the etrailer site for information and purchasing advice. This system is very impressive. Thank you.1702481

1996 Dodge Ram

I finished installing my new front hitch a few weekends ago. All in all I'm very satisfied with the new hitch, primarily as it solved a long standing problem and the right price. The construction and fit of the hitch is excellent. It does take a bit more than an amateur to install however, so below are my comments with photos attached to help the next guy:

1.) Front bolt - The existing hole on the frame it too small to accept the new bolt. This needs to be drilled out (only with a 90 deg. Drill), or replace the existing bolts in the opposite direction...which is what I did, (photo 3).
2.) Middle bolt - The existing frame hole does not align with the hole on the hitch. You need to dry fit it and mark it and cut an approx. 1/2 - 5/8" chip out of the frame.
3.) Rear bolt - Rear bolt ends up with about a 1/4" gap between the frame and hitch. I shimmed the gap and torqued it snug. There's also no way to install the internal washer, without losing your sanity. I eliminated it and used a vise grip on the bolt end as I tighten the nut. Additionally, you have to remove the bumper kicker brace to install this rear bolt. Once the hitch is up, there is again no way to reinstall that kicker brace without disassembling the whole assembly at the bumper. My problem with that was that my existing bolt were old and rusty and probably won't come off or go back on easily. Instead, I fabricated an extension bracket and reassemble that kicker brace just above the new bolt (photo 2).

This plow does not stand up to much use. I used it for my long gravel driveway and I was dissapointed in the durability of the plow. The plow bent near the cutting edge and twisted when I accidentally bumped into a rock when turning around. This plow is for light use only and it does not back drag snow well since it is light and does not have any down pressure.1685336

Chose this hitch over Draw Tite because I have a Steering Stabilizer plate where the Draw Tite mounts. Curt is good quality and fit but the most tedious hitch I've ever installed and I've done many. Curt video online was helpful. My frame had all the holes in places but the middle ones on both sides were to tight and needed to be drilled larger to allow the bolts attached to the fish wire to pass through. Center bolts and backers are difficult to line up and install. One got stuck and while removing it I lost the backing plate down the frame tube. Bumper bolts need to be removed or loosened and realigned after the hitch is installed. Working alone on the ground it took 2 1/2 hrs to install with some frustration. My truck is a 1999, 3500 4x4 Florida vehicle with NO SEIZED BOLTS, thank God, because 8 had to be removed or loosened. I would have preferred and would have purchased the Draw Tite if not for my special situation but I'm very happy the Curt was available.

Priced below MSRP with free shipping. Quality construction, fit well with minor enlarging of frame holes. Corner braces to front bumper would not fit over the hitch, braces were cut and welded 3/4" shorter and all was well. Install took the better part of 3 hours laying on my back in the carport. I bought this to sometimes mount a Warn winch, and move trailers around the yard.150821

I must Highly Recommend etrailer for any Truck or Trailer Hitch Parts that You may ever need. I had to replace a Front Hitch Receiver for My 1997 Dodge Ram Pick Up (Snow Plow Attachment). They not only had the "Lowest" Base Price for the Product over any other On-Line Parts Dealer, but I was also able to obtain "Free Shipping", which was being offered that day. The Combined Savings was $70.00! The Parts Ordering Department was "Extremely Helpful", to not only confirm that I was ordering the correct part, but that it would be shipped the following day! It arrived in a very timely manner & in Perfect Shape. I thank etrailer so very much for their Fantastic Customer Service & for the Cost Savings on this Item.

Great product, very high quality in fit and finish. Directions could have been a bit more informative. I realized that I should have lined up the back bumper bracket while installing the back bolt as you can't move the bracket into place after the bolt is through. A note on the directions would have saved me a little time and frustration.

Overall an easy installation and a nice product.

Per our product fit guide, the # 31604 isn't compatible with the sport model. The Draw-Tite # 65003 [currently on extended back order] is a fit, but you'd need to trim the front fascia for the receiver tube to pass through.
