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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
2022 TRD Pro fits snugly.
To keep the OEM skid plate, you can remove the skid plate’s 2x front spacers and spacer washer locks. Removing this will allow you to fasten the front 2x M10 oem bolts. The 2x rear M10 bolts will need to be replaced with 2x smaller length M10 bolts that are at half the size of the oem bolts. My local hardware store had plenty of options.
This is the second hitch for my Toyota 4runner The first one you sent me was wrong. The box came in with had holes in it. Today I received the correct hitch. I’m assuming the correct hitch I haven’t had it installed yet I hope it’s the right one, but it came in the box, and it was all tore up. both ends of the hitch are sticking out of the box of the new one I just received. That’s pretty much the same condition that I got the other one. I’ve ordered hitches parts from you for years never have I never gotten product that was sticking out of the box. Unacceptable. I just hope it fits.
This front hitch is a perfect fit for my 4Runner. It was easy to install.
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.
Perfect mount for hang glider rack. Easy to install.
Easy to put together,easy to put it on and take it off my truck, works like it should
Fit my 2023 4runner perfectly. Quick and easy install. 2nd sets of hands would be nice to line it up better.
The Curt front receiver hitch was very well made: good welds and plenty of powdercoat. On my 2016 4Runner Trail edition it fit fine but required 2 people to manipulate it into position. Some of the bolts were tough to get at, but was doable with effort. I was worried it might interfere with the skid plate but I think it will be OK, however the plastic air deflector might be hard to remove.
Etrailer shipped fast and no problems. They even answered a question, which Curt customer service did not.
Solidly built, and relatively easy to install. I have a fishing rod/cooler rack mounted on my 4Runner year round, with a 65quart Yeti cooler and often 40-50 lbs of ice, beer, fish and bait, and the receiver is still as solid as the day I installed it.
Product was received sooner than expected and in excellent condition. The product is very well made and installation instructions are simple and straight forward. I would recommend Etrailer to anyone.
Installed is this weekend. This one appears to be better built than the last one I purchased elsewhere.
Fits perfectly and good instructions. Took about an hour to install with a friend helping. Fast shipping too.
It was easy to install. Looks good on the vehicle. Having 2 people, as was suggested, helps.
Does a good job.
Works great!
FIT WITH NO PROBLEMS...USED BEFORE ON OLDER 4 RUNNER...LOOKING FORWARD TO THE SAME EXPERIENCE.
Product was competetively priced, well packaged and delivered fast.
