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

2014 Ram 1500

If I could mark it at 4.5 stars I would. I like it the hitch.

I think it hangs down too low, only 8" off the pavement. I did not like to have to take off the tow hooks to install the hitch. I did like the idea of I sold the tow hooks for almost as much as I paid for the hitch.

I had to buy a hitch extender. ( I do not see the extender I bought on etrailer listed any more.) The extender put the hitch out far enough to clear the grill guard that I had installed. My goal was to have a place to mount my 8,000 pound winch. I can now slide the winch in the front receiver or the back factory receiver. I can now pull the truck out from either front or back. 488385

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.937226

This front mount hitch was just what we needed to haul our bikes when camping with the slide in camper. We had to take the bikes and a bike hitch off each time we had to get in the camper when we stopped. This front mount hitch saved us from having to do that. Also use it for a carrier to carry extra luggage. It came fast and it was very easy to install, just as advertised. 692264

This worked out pretty well- drove it for the first time since installed it and it definitely has an affect on how the vehicle feels (I guess the added weight to the front end ) I wouldn't say bad but different. The hitch went on easy, had to trim a very small bit of the air dam maybe a quarter inch. I was worried it would have a impact on the aesthetics of the truck but I think it looks pretty awesome - also the price was the best I could find on the net 443668

This front receiver hitch is just what I needed for parking my boat in a very narrow location next to my residence---much shorter turning base having the hitch on the front of the vehicle vs the rear.

This product took just over an hour to install and was very easy with a "second" pair of hands.

will do the same on my next truck

I live in the city. So our yards are really not designed to put a travel trailer in. I am using this front mounted hitch to swing my Trailmanor 3124KS our the back yard. Much cheaper option than a powered trailer jockey. Plus I can mount bike carrier, winch etc to the front with no problems.1413127

by: Will 11/12/2022

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.1467476

no problem with product as far as manufacturing and quality. have on a 4x4 Ram 1500. hangs too low,drags if u cross the smallest ditch etc. also mounts to far in and when you put carrier into hitch it butts up against bumper and will not go in far enough to put the pin thru. havent been able to use it, just havent had time to take it off.

by: Robert09/09/2020

Easy to install. Works great with my home plow. Don't have to back up with trailers around the yard, precision trailering from the front. My only gripe is that if you buy a new truck to install this front mount hitch you will need two bolts unless you can fish out the existing bolts with a magnet. Save the fish wire that comes with the mount.876239

Ask the Experts about this Snow Plow
Do you have a question about this Snow Plow?

• 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.

• What is the Receiver Height Requirement for a Detail K2 Snow Plow
  
• I spoke with my contact at Detail K2 who said that the height of the front hitch receiver on your 2005 Jeep Wrangler needs to be within the range of 13" - 18" which is measured to the bottom of the receiver opening. This is the case for all of their plows, including the Avalanche # K2AVAL8422 that you referenced.

• Detail K2 Snowplow for 2" Hitches K2AVAL8422. Will This Work On A Lifted Truck?
  
• 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

• Does Blade Stiffener Have to be Connected for Safe Usage of Detail K2 Hitch Mount Snowplow
  
• Good question! The blade stiffeners that come with the Detail K2 Snowplow # K2AVAL8422 don't necessarily have to be used. I reached out to my contact at Detail K2 who said that the only time that those stiffeners really need to be used is if you will be pushing a lot of heavy snow. Otherwise you'll be just fine using it on your 2003 GMC Yukon XL without those connected. The reason why you're having trouble is because those will connect if the receiver is the same height as the crosstube,

• Recommended Light Kit for K2 Detail Snow Plow

• Will Detail K2 Snowplow for 2 Hitches Fit Lifted Truck

• Snow Plow and Mount Recommendation for 1994 Jeep Wrangler 4WD
  
• I'd recommend going with a plow mount for your vehicle over a hitch style mount. On some hitch mount setups we've seen the hitch not be as durable as the mounts that mount to the frame and are specifically for plows so that's what I feel is the better solution. The Detail K2 Storm Plow part # K2AVAL8422 that you referenced is a great choice, and then for mounts custom fit to your 1994 Jeep Wrangler we have the part # K284115 which would work great.

• How to Add Lights to a Detail K2 Snowplow for 2" Hitches

The light kit comes with lights, brackets, and pigtails. The pigtails will be tied into the factory headlights but you'll indeed need to add relays so you don't overdraw the factory headlight circuits. Unfortunately, we don't have a plug-in relay harness for this so you'll need

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

Since the Draw-Tite may require you to remove your factory tow hooks if you have them, that can leave you without a solid recovery point which is less than ideal. We have also found that the powder coat finish Curt uses tends to hold up better over time keeping the hitch looking good, but more

• Snowplow that Can be Operated from Inside a 2017 Ram 1500 4x4 and that Fits a Front Receiver Hitch
  
• For your 2017 Ram 1500 4x4 and front hitch # 31374 I recommend the SnowBear Proshovel # SB324-140. This plow comes with a wireless remote and in-cab switch so you can operate the plow from inside the truck. The blade has 5 angle options and a steel cutting edge. If you will be doing any plowing at night I recommend adding light kit # SB324-127 for the best visibility.

• I haven't ever personally used a front hitch to maneuver a trailer, but I do know that everyone I know that has one, swears by it as the greatest solution for this problem. It will definitely make getting your trailer into a tight space easier, but there are some minor downsides to this solution. The biggest one is not having mirrors to rely on to provide a line of sight on the sides of the trailer, but a lot of people also complain about having to get out of the truck, unhitch, backup,

• Front Hitch Recommendation for a 2014 Ram 1500 4 Wheel Drive
  
• The only front hitches we offer for your 2014 Ram 1500 are the Curt Hitch part # 31374 that you have currently and the Draw Tite hitch part # 65062. Both of which place the hitch opening underneath the front bumper. The # 65063 that you also referenced only fits the 2500 and 3500 trucks so I cannot recommend it for you.

• Can Tow Hooks Stay in Place Using Curt Front Mount Receiver 31374 on a 2014 Ram 1500 4x4
  
• It is possible to retain tow hooks on the truck by using Draw-Tite front hitch # 65062. But the tow hooks apparently varied in design so some may still have to be removed. Draw-Tite does not specify which ones can be retained. I have linked a video showing an example installation of this hitch for you. The Curt front mount receiver # 31374 was not designed or tested for installation with the tow hooks sandwiched between the frame and the hitch so I cannot recommend that installation
