This Generation III Classic Personal snowplow is the most recent innovation from SnowBear. This plow conveniently slides into your vehicle's front-mounted trailer hitch (sold separately) for easy, convenient mounting. It has a remote-controlled electric winch that will let you raise and lower the plow without leaving the warmth and comfort of your cab. The pivoting blade makes this plow ideal for rocky or uneven surfaces because it can adjust to the terrain. Angled trip springs are also built in to help keep the blade from catching and tripping.


Simple, Hitch-Mounted Installation

HITCH MOUNTING

This hitch-mounted snowplow simply slides into your vehicle's front trailer hitch receiver, making it a breeze to install. Unlike a plow that attaches to custom-fit brackets, which ties you down to just 1 vehicle, 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 Personal snowplow, just slide the shank of the plow assembly into your 2" trailer hitch receiver . Then use a pin and clip or a hitch lock (sold separately) to secure the plow in the receiver.


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 or 22 degrees 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 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 or the in-cab toggle switch, 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 Personal 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

WINCH

The electric winch on this plow allows you to easily lift and lower the blade using a toggle switch that mounts in your cab. You can also use the included wireless remote control. The winch uses a durable nylon strap, which is much quieter than a chain, to raise and lower the plow.

This little plow has been perfect for a Jeep Wrangler. I used it all winter and it kept the driveway clear, no complaints.



by: Wayne03/23/2018
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.



by: John12/20/2023

It would have been nice if the gentleman who sold me my snow plow would have told me that I needed a drop down hitch instead of a straight hitch, which makes a big difference when trying to plow.



by: Danny08/22/2019

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.

Installation was easy and the product is an excellent looking addition to my truck

All the products from this order have held up to the abuse ive put them through. Unfortunately/fortunately last month i acquired a new ram 2500, and will be buying new accessories from etrailer soon! Your customer service is great and prices are even better!!

Ive used this several times and it works great. It is a little low, but I use a Curt Hitch Haul with a angled shank.



by: Bill11/17/2023

The plow works ok. It's easy enough to get on and off the vehicle. Fatal flaw is the winch strap. I have replaced 3 times in one winter of plowing. If you purchase this product be sure to order extra winch straps!



by: Deb04/22/2019

Good North American made hitch. Clearance from tow hoops to ground a consideration. Bent one hoop back but only because the old logging road was that bad.



by: Paul10/18/2017

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



by: James 03/23/2024

Fast delivery, easy installation, fair price

Quality product with clear installation instructions



by: Steven 04/17/2021

I am very happy with my Curt front mount trailer hitch receiver which I use for my rod and cooler holder for surf fishing. It is well constructed and assures me of many years of use. I would recommend Curt to anyone who would like a well built front hitch.

Works great for my surf rod rack on my 2012 Ram pickup.



by: Chuckie11/26/2019

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

Charles

12/24/2020

Used it several times this past year===I have a very small space to park my boat next to my residence-instead of using the rear hitch I use the front-it is much easier using the front hitch. Seasons Greeting and stay safe.



by: Scott 09/18/2022

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.



by: Rick C09/05/2017

have had a curt front hitch before(98 Suburban) so was familiar with it.
pretty easy install.
hate loosing the factory tow hooks!!!! need to find a way around that.

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: Scott 07/23/2023
2019 Ram 1500 Classic

Perfect fit. Fishing wire made the install very easy. Took one person less than 30 minutes to complete.



by: Bennett 09/02/2023

Arrived on time and the hitch fit perfectly. Good quality.



by: Michael 12/30/2023

Works well for the price.



by: Mark 07/07/2020

Product was an easy install, shipping was fast and customer service is always outstanding!
The hitch is barely noticeable and it didn’t need to cut the fascia.

Mark

7/8/2021

Works as advertised. Very easy to install didnt have to cut any bumper plastic. Holds up to the impact of having a plow connected to it.



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.



by: David 12/27/2023

Fast delivery!



by: Ron 01/17/2024
2017 Ram 1500

Very fast service



by: Dan 06/22/2022

Fit perfectly and works just like it should. Makes pushing my travel trailer into the barn much easier. The only thing that I would improve is to make it where I could still keep the factory tow hooks..

  • Snow Bear Plow Recommendation for 2008 Honda Ridgeline
  • You may not be able to use the Snowbear plot part # SB324-080 on the highway but you could still transport it in your front hitch to your other driveway as long as the plow was up off the pavement. You'd also need the front hitch part # 33328 installed on your 2008 Honda Ridgeline.

  • Snow Plow Recommendation for a 2002 Jeep Wrangler
  • Actually SnowBear does not list a max height range for their snow plows like the part # SB324-080. Since you have a 2 inch front hitch installed on your 2002 Jeep Wrangler it should work well for you. I attached a review video for this plow for you to check out as well.

  • Is Bumper Modification Required to Install a Front Mount Hitch on a 2003 Dodge Durango
  • We have front mount trailer hitches available for the 2003 Dodge Durango as long as it is a 4WD model. At this time there are no front mount hitches available for the 2WD models. If you have a 4WD model, then I recommend installing the Curt Front Mount Hitch, # 31080. This has the highest vertical pull rating of our front mount hitches and it does not require any bumper modifications. The receiver will sit just below the front bumper fascia. I have attached the installation instructions

  • Are The Mounting Brackets The Same For DK2 And Snowbear Snowplows On 2002 Jeep Liberty
  • The Snowbear and DK2 snowplows require different mounting brackets. For example, in order to mount the Detail K2 Summit II Snowplow # K2SUMM8826 you would need Custom Mounting Brackets # K284121. You could, however, install Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver 2" # C31022 which could accommodate various snowplows from both brands. The Detail K2 Snowplow # K2AVAL8219 and SnowBear Personal Snowplow # SB324-080 would both would fit this 2" receiver.

  • I have an answer for you to connect the Snowbear # SB324-080 to your 2022 Jeep Wrangler. In the video you are referring to for the Curt Front Hitch - 2" # C31086, that shows the installation of the hitch on a 2018 Wrangler. While we do not have the ground clearance height of the hitch installed on a 2022 model, it most likely differs within a couple inches. Also, since the receiver tube measures 2 inches from inside the top tube to the inside of the bottom tube, the ground clearance is

  • Where Does Curt Hitch Tube Opening Sit on 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee When Installed
  • I was able to find a better picture that shows where the hitch opening of the Curt front hitch part # C31048 will be when installed on a similar Jeep Grand Cherokee as your 2002 model that I attached to this page. It basically just sits right below the front bumper. I also lightened up the picture you mentioned so that you can see where it's at on that picture as well.

  • Front Hitch Plow Recommendation for 2004 Jeep Cherokee with 2 inch Hitch
  • For your 2004 Jeep Cherokee that has a 2 inch front hitch installed the SnowBear Personal SnowPlow part # SB324-080 would be a great option. This plow is 82 inches wide which is a good size for your vehicle and comes with everything needed to allow you to control it from inside the cab of your vehicle.

  • Does the SnowBear Personal Snowplow # SB32408031114 Have to be Manually Adjusted?
  • Yes, you will have to manually adjust the blade on the # SB324-080 to set the position to the left, right, or center. It features a manual release handle that is easily accessible from front or back of the plow. It does use an electric winch to allow you to automatically raise or lower the plow from inside your vehicle.

  • Can Draw-Tite Front Mount Hitch 65080 Mount Snow Plow
  • Yes, you can absolutely mount a snow plow like the SnowBear Personal Snowplow for 2" Hitches # SB324-080 you referenced on the Draw-Tite front-mounted hitch you asked about: - Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # 65080 This hitch, which fits 2007 and up Toyota Tundras and Sequoias, meets the necessary standards and has a 500 lb vertical load limit (which is like tongue weight for a front-mount hitch), and the SnowBear weighs 315 lbs, so it has more than the necessary capacity.

  • Recommended Snowplow for a 2020 Jeep Wrangler
  • It sounds like you're looking for a snowplow setup for a 2020 Jeep Wrangler and if that's the case we have some great options. I recommend the SnowBear Personal Snowplow part # SB324-080 with Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C31086. The SnowBear plow has an 82" wide blade with electric winch that allows you to control it from inside the vehicle. The 2" hitch mount will make it easier to get the plow on and off the vehicle. We do not carry ACI plows unfortunately.

  • Snowplow and Front Mount Trailer Hitch for a 2015 Ford F-150
  • Yes, I recommend the SnowBear 82 inch snowplow # SB324-080 for your 2015 Ford F-150. You will also need to have a front mount hitch installed, # C31083, to mount and use the plow. I also recommend the off-road lighting kit for this plow, # SB324-127, for better visibility when plowing at night since plows have the tendency to block vehicle lights.

  • How to Determine if the SnowBear Plow # SB324-080 Would Block Headlights
  • The blade height of the SnowBear Plow # SB324-080 that you referenced is 19 inches. Most likely your headlights will sit higher than this, but if you measure from the ground up 19 inches then you would know where the top of the blade would sit and whether or not the headlights would be blocked.

If you have the Winter Wolf edition that requires vehicle-specific mounting brackets then we'll either need to find you a different setup or you'll have to have a shop fabricate some mounts as SnowBear doesn't have any custom mounts for a 3500 Ram pickup.

  • Front Hitch Recommendation for a 2012 Dodge Ram 1500 4WD
  • The OEM tow hooks of your 2012 Dodge Ram 1500 4WD will need to be removed to install the Curt Front Hitch part # 31374 that you referenced. Good news is this hitch comes with tow hooks welded to it, so you won't be without them. Also, ground clearance will only be reduced by about 1 inch. The fascia will need to be slightly trimmed to accommodate the hitch opening, so realistically it won't hang much lower than the front fascia.

As long as that weight capacity is not exceeded then this front mount hitch will be a great solution for you to carry a generator on the front of your Ram. If you are wanting to use a cargo carrier to haul a variety of cargo, then I recommend going with the 24x60 Curt Cargo Carrier # C18151. This will fit in the 2 inch receiver

  • Is Air Dam Trimming Required to Mount Curt Front Receiver on a 2011 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4
  • I went out to the warehouse to measure Curt front mount receiver # 31374 for you. From the top of the lower mounting flanges to the top of the receiver measure 4-1/8 inches. So it does sound like you will need to trim a little. Though you might be able to just bend the air dam in that location depending on how much overlap there is.

  • Does Draw Tite Hitch for 2018 Ram 1500 Require Trimming Fascia
  • All of the front hitches we offer for your 2018 Ram 1500 like the Draw Tite part # 65062 do require trimming of the front fascia. The trimming allows the hitch to sit a little bit higher so that you get slightly better ground clearance.

  • Will a Front Hitch Help My Ability to Maneuever a Trailer In Tight Spaces
  • 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.

I have included a link to the installation instructions for you. This hitch would be great for a winch. If you need a trailer hitch mount winch mounting plate, you may be able to use the CURT model, # C31010.

  • Will Curt Front Hitch 31374 Fit a 2WD Ram 1500
  • The Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # 31374 fits an 2009-2018 Ram 1500, a 2019-2021 Ram 1500 excluding the Rebel or a diesel, and 2019-2022 Ram 1500 Classic excluding the Warlock. Curt has it listed as only fitting the 4WD models so I wouldn't try to use it with a 2WD Ram pickup. If you have a 2WD then you can use the Draw-Tite Front Hitch Receive # 65062 which is listed to fit a 2009-2018 Ram 1500 and then a 2019-2021 Ram 1500 Classic. This fits both the 2WD and 4WD model types.
