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 fully welded, 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.
Fit was tight but with a floor jack I was able to install. Looks like it will work well for me. The bolt guide wires were critical to installation. Very good construction of the hitch.
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!!
After correcting a mistake and taking another receiver back at their expense, etrailer shipped me the correct hitch for my 2017 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Recon. If your Wrangler has the steel Hard Rock / Anniversary Edition bumper in the attached pictures, this is the right receiver. It's very well made and has a much better paint job than the Draw Tite that didn't fit my Jeep. The tolerances are VERY tight, so much so that I had to hammer it into place with a block of wood. The supplied fishwires made getting the carriage bolts and spacers in place a breeze. Unfortunately, you will have to remove the steel skid plate that's attached to the bumper. I thought it might be possible to cut it around the hitch and put it back, but it doesn't look there's enough clearance. Great service from etrailer!
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.
Directions were clear and concise, however the side brackets were slightly narrower than the vehicle frame and it needed a fair amount of convincing to slide up and over into place. Furthermore the driver side superior bracket hole was offset just enough not to allow the bolt to pass through the frame. The hole in the frame had to be slightly enlarged. Otherwise it looks great!!
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.
this is the only hictch i have found that is not custom made that will work with my aev bumper that is on my jk. fits perfect and i can still put a winch in my bumper. you will need a hammer to get it in place though it tight. it does hang down a bit low so you will loose some ground cleance, the aev and the skid plate had to be removed but it will be fine. i needed a way to carry cooler and fishing rods this will work great.
Well worth the money! No longer having to worry about someone else coming to plow is a God send!!!
Good for the price, really needs to be able to be able to angle from the cab of the truck. (deluxe model.)
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.
Great fit went on in 30 minutes. can confirm it will fit with the Warn winch bumper.
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.
By moving the secondary mounting bolts from the factory bumper to the front frame crossbar this front mount version for Jeep JK allows for the installation of many aftermarket bumpers, which will be my next project. These Curt mounts are super solid. I have had one on my '98 Cherokee for the last 6 years for plowing snow. The mount is fine but the Cherokee is tired. ;-)
My install took 30 mins.
your service and speed of delivery were great. now i have to put it on and see how it fits. on the down side the hitch was not packed very well and the paint was cracked off in several places. i will have to use touch-up paint so it doesn't rust. its going to be under the jeep so i won't really see it, its not worth the hassle sending it back because i want to use it this weekend. your phone staff was very nice.
By the way, are tongue weight and vertical weight different measurements??
Only got to use the plow blade one time but it worked great!
Hasn't snowed since I bought it. Works like a charm!
Great fit Well made
Bolted right on but a little tight. A big hammer did the trick. Once again a nice hitch. Now I have on front and back of my jeep JK.
The part bolted right in, took about 20 minutes to complete. My second product bought, and a great company to work with.
Looks great. Well made. Installed in under 30 min.

Essentially, theyre the same thing. Tongue weight and vertical load limit represent the maximum amount of downward force that can be applied to the receiver tube.
