Hitch-mounted residential plow has shock-absorbing springs and a steel-edge blade to easily clear driveways and parking lots. 3-Position blade pushes snow straight ahead, right, or left. Wireless remote lets you raise or lower plow from your cab.

Specs:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Easily attach a variety of accessories to the front of your vehicle with this corrosion-resistant trailer hitch receiver. Perfect for winches, spare tire carriers and more.

Great easy plow to use. The hardware that came in was missing a couple nuts and bolts. Had to run to the hardware store a couple times to get the proper bolts and nuts. The plow doesn't come assembled. So expect a good evening to build this unit. First two years was great and the scraping was good. Back dragging slacks but again a lot of plows do that. So it's not terrible but does enough. Just leaves 1/4 of snow behind. But pushing snow forward works and scrapes nice on asphalt or concrete. The battery that came with the kit for the wireless controller didn't last 1 month. So be prepared to upgrade that. But it's been now on my 3rd year, one of the springs failed on it and currently searching for the replacement. The plow itself has a one year warranty so of course it's past due now. Overall it works and it's nice. Wish I had bought the power left and right but the manual lever works too. Also the side markers prematurely failed too so I had to buy meyer yellow ones from fleet farm. Cost another $xx. But I will update this as time goes.
It has been working very well as we have actually had a decent amount of snow so far this year. took a little longer than I thought it would to assemble and mount it but after it was on it works great and looks good.
Took about 20mins to install. I think it will serve great purposes with a new winch hitch attachment and when I'm not using it I will install a step for easy engine access
Fantastic Hitch. Tucked in so well people dont see it until I tell them it is there. I have used it to push my trailer into tight spots in the woods, carry two coolers using a hitch carrier and with my Yakima Bed Extender extended all the way in the front to carry the long kayaks between the front hitch and the sport bar so I could still tow the trailer. The front hitch is a game changer for loading options
The DK2 plow and hitch are awesome! As always, the communication from Etrailer from order to delivery is top-notch. Assembling the plow and mounting the hitch was easy. Took about 4 hours with me enjoying a few beers and taking my time one evening after work. Took on wiring the next day. I like a clean finish, so this part took me about 2 hours. I placed the control module on the fuse block as suggested (etrailer's videos are a BIG help). I placed the remote transmitter on the drivers side. I ran the plow lead down to the hitch from inside the vehicle. There is just enough wiring supplied and this allows me to tuck the connector inside the hitch when not in use. A hitch cover protects it from the elements. First use was 30" of snowfall! I plowed for about 3 hours straight. The engine compartment did get warm which made the control wiring warm and pliable; so the connector came out of the control module mid way through plowing. I used some dielectric grease and it stayed connected the remainder of my plowing. It takes some practice to hitch up to the plow easily. This set up took a beating first time out. Sure glad I ordered it!!
Great product and heavy duty construction. I have the GM metal front skid plate under my truck and the skid plate will not work with the front hitch without some modifications and time spent with the angle grinder. This is not etrailer's fault. Aftermarket product paired with an aftermarket product. I did get the skid plate mounted with the front hitch for an awesome combination of usefulness and protection. The only thing that I do not like is that the front of the hitch mounts to a crossbar under the radiator that appears very flimsy. Just be cautious about how much weight you apply to the hitch. Again, this isn't etrailer's fault. This is the same mounting location as all aftermarket front hitches. I feel sure that the hitch will serve it's intended use as a winch cradle mount. I will recommend a hitch receiver skid plate. I don't have one yet and I can see that I'll be dragging the hitch until I get my lift kit installed.
Solid and heavy duty as expected. Instructions need to be improved. Pics blacked out from being copied to many times. I had to grind down the edge of front mounting tabs to get it bolted to the cross bar.
The hitch was pretty easy to install and seems like it should work fine for the plow I purchased.
The plow works very well. It's not real heavy duty but it has been adequate so far. It went together quite easily and is fairly light and maneuverable when I take it off for the summer. I am glad it has the extra turnbuckle braces beside the receiver to stiffen it up. I almost wish I had gotten a wider plow. When I have it set for straight forward it is good but when I have it angled it is a bit narrow for my Suburban. One minor problem I had was when I hit a hard object and the plow snapped forward and down both of the little red plastic end markers that stick up broke off. Long exposure must weaken the plastic.
Overall, I was satisfied. Instructions could be more complete, and it was missing a few bolts and nuts. But Looks like a solid plow for the application I need.
Well worth the money! No longer having to worry about someone else coming to plow is a God send!!!
It didn’t fit my 2016 Chevy Colorado. I had to do major adjustments
This was very easy to install. I made a template from cardboard To mark the area to cut on on the plastic scoop. I simply cut the 3 by 3.5 inch area as recommended in the instructions. I used a Dremel tool and it cut very easily. I would recommend you get an extra set of hands to hold the hitch in place while installing the bolts. I also used the Dremel tool to cut down the skid plate. I cut it down by .5 inches per the directions. Make sure when reinstalling the skid plate you get the front in between the hitch and truck frame. This took a little playing to get this in place but once complete it fit very tight without the front bolts. Instructions were very good and completed job in under an hour.
Very straight forward and easy installation, as per instructions, if you have a buddy to help, it would have been a little faster. Removing the plastic skid plate attachment was definitely required as the forward bolt heads prevent the proper alignment of the receiver mounting holes. After installation I slid the plastic skid plate back into place,the entire front edge is held in place by the new installation and only the back two bolts were required to hold it securely. I have ordered several items over the years and they are always perfect fits and as easy installation as you could want for us do it ourselfers DIO's. I made a custom canoe tie down, the boat is shorter than my truck, and I didn't want the tie downs going across the hood.
Good for the price, really needs to be able to be able to angle from the cab of the truck. (deluxe model.)
Put the front hitch on my 2016 Colorado for my snow sport snow plow and it fit perfect. I have bought 4 of these over the years for different vehicles and I highly recommend it.
Fast shipping
Easy solo install, works great.
Works great even better than the old fisher plow even though this one swings manually, the blade goes much higher when pushing up banks of snow.
I love having this plow easy to install, easy to attach and remove on my 2 door Jeep Wrangler. I would recommend it to everyone looking for a plow.
Difficult to put together - manufacturing quality is terrible - holes drilled off of center, causing plenty of work-arounds. In the end, it was a small plow with a complicated and messy assembly instruction. I resold it for $100 to get rid of the eye-sore. I don't recommend this at all.
Fit perfect, easy install, love it for my surf rod rack!
Fits perfect. hardly tell that it's there. Works great for moving the boat.

Received hitch very quickly and exactly what I needed.
Very happy with this product and your service. Not my first purchase from etrailer, and it was my previous experience that brought me back again. Arrived quickly and in perfect shape. Fit perfectly and performs the same. I'll be back!

That is odd Bruce, there are other reviews on this product that state this fits on their 2016 Chevy Colorado. I think you may have gotten a flexed hitch. This is common and it isnt bad. It just happens due to the nature of shipping and the steel used.
