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.

A good install! A bit of trimming for my application , but the bolt holes lined up perfectly. This front hitch was not specifically for a Lexus GX 460 but I decided to try it. There is a small area of lower bumper plastic that had to be trimmed. The hitch was pushing up against it before it was high enough to be in place. Upon trimming that area, it went in perfectly. If trimming the lower plastic is not for you, probably best to pass. However for my use, it works well. It is a stout piece, very strong. I added a pic with a red line to show where the trim needs to be.

Works very well. I use it for mounting bikes in front, mounting a removable winch, and a front basket when I am camping. I had to add a 12 inch extension, the hitch is tucked under quite a bit. This is a very stout set up. No worries for any use.

Installed on my 2012 Lexus GX460. Perfect fit once I cut the center section of the lower plastic area for it to fit. Also had to trim the bottom splash guard and bend in the L brackets that hold it on. Took me about 2 hours. Very happy with the outcome. Now can mount snow blade for the driveway clearing…or any other hitch items.

I had great personnel service, and the Hitch Receiver is solid. The material is heavy duty, and the welds are first class. Second item I've bought from etraier and both time I have been 100 percent satisfied. I go offroad and I use the hitch to hold a 2nd spare tire. I just got back from a 1,500-mile road trip to the Naveda mountains, in rough terrain, in 7-degree weather and many feet of snow and it held perfect. American made is the only way to go when your life depends on it.

2009 Toyota 4Runner

Fit perfectly on my 08 Lexus GX470. Super excited for the additional functionality of having a front hitch. I move trails around my tight yard but also will enjoy putting a cooler on the front cargo rack, and having my hitch mounted winch up front. So versatile.



by: David08/07/2020
2007 Toyota 4Runner

Okay, first things first. I installed this hitch on a 2006 4Runner, even though the hitch wasn't specifically for that model year (Curt says the hitch fits 2007-09 4Runners). The 2006 4Runner's front tow hooks are angled down, which is a requirement for this hitch to fit (see the picture). One snag I ran into was that the four bolt holes along the top of the hitch didn't quite line up with the bolts on my 4Runner (the holes were not quite far enough apart) so I took the hitch to a machinist who elongated the holes for me. I don't know if this mismatch was a manufacturing defect in the hitch, or whether it was due to the difference between a 2006 4Runner and the 2007-09 models. Once I fixed the hole spacing, the hitch installed fine. Seems like a solid hitch. Planning to use it to push a trailer around when parking it.

This thing is great! Its so much easier to push a trailer around using a front hitch than it is to back it with the rear hitch. I can push this thing up a long curvy driveway with no trouble. Definitely recommended.

2008 Toyota 4Runner

I installed this on my 2008 Toyota 4runner in order to back my pop up camper down an inclined very tight drive. It was difficult to use the rear hitch because I did not have enough room to straighten out the 4runner. I did it with the front hitch on the first try! My wife says it saved our marriage! Putting the camper away was the most stressful part of the trip before this. I did need to buy a longer ball hitch of a different height because the front hitch sits lower and further under the bumper. Etrailer quickly shipped exactly what I ordered

Great Fitting Hitch for the front of my FJ Cruiser. I needed a solution to re-use a personal plow from another vehicle. Luckily, the plow was able to be converted to a 2" receiver hookup. Using my existing winch for the up/down with a snatch block. Even with aftermarket Warrior Bumper and Skid Plates fit perfectly. Ground clearance not compromised. 6 bolt installation, EASY PEEZY.

2012 Ford F-250 Super Duty

I bought a Snow bear personal plow and a separate Curt receiver hitch for the front of my 2012 F250.. after speaking with Erica W. several times due to blunders on my part, all was perfect. Quick delivery, price was right, items are super rugged. The stock photos don't do justice. My plow came in at 350 pounds without the receiver hitch. It's not a cheap toy plow. Get one, they'll fit nearly anything! Thanks Erica!!

The front mount Toyota FJ Cruiser hitch fit perfectly. It took me 30-45 minutes to install. you need a 145mm socket or wrench and a larger socket for the bolts that come with the kit (I used an adjustable). Good clean install using a total of 6 bolts (4 existing and 2 new that bolt to the factory tow points.

Excellent Kit!!! very happy!

What a value!! I installed this front receiver hitch on my 2007 FJ Cruiser and is was a perfect fit. I planned to use it for a bicycle rack mount when pulling my boat but use it also for a winch mount, access step for under the hood and for trailer handling in tight spaces. Super fast shipping from etrailer.com and great price too!!

Thanks, et!!

Because of my complicated parking configuration I required a front mount hitch. The product came quickly right to my door. Installation on my 2007 Fj Cruiser was so simple and took no more then 30 minutes.

Still doing its job of parking the trailer!



by: Deborah10/01/2022

Bolt holes did not line up. etrailer was no help. Many unreturned calls and unhelpful emails and unanswered questions, and no solutions offered. Finally gave up. Will probably have to have it welded on.

When they asked me to review it after one year (now), I stated the above to them. Their response was: "etrailer is continuously looking for ways to improve our customers' experience and we take your comments very seriously. Without honest feedback from valued customers like you we would not know where we need to make improvements." But again, offered no help or solution.



by: CHRIS06/10/2019

I bought this for the front of my 4-Runner to carry a bike rack. I have not used it to tow a boat or trailer, For my use it is excellent.

Great - love it



by: Greg R.12/24/2020

Fit my 2006 4Runner perfectly. Some have had issues installing this hitch on a 2006 4Runner here in the reviews. I purchased this 31367 hitch in February 2019, but did not get around to installing it until today, December 2020. The installation was quick and simple. Removed four nuts connecting the bumper to the frame (but four bolts remain so the bumper stays intact) by using a couple drops of Liquid Wrench (like WD40, but more aggressive penetration) on each to help loosen them with the 1/2" drive breaker bar (about 16" long) and 14mm socket. Then lifted the hitch in place to hang on the bolts and placed the nuts on snug but not tight. The hitch comes with two 24mm bolts that then go through front hitch plates, front vehicle tow hooks, and have a heavy duty rectangular 'washer' used on the under side of the tow hook to bolt the front hitch to the tow hooks. These vehicle tow hooks must be angled down at 45degrees (straight out about 1/2" then down at 45degrees) to match the front hitch mounting plate which is also at 45degrees. As shown, the front hitch has replacement tow hooks welded to it, so you still have hooks after mounting. I then tightened the two 24mm bolts and then the four 14mm bolts. Done in about 45 minutes from box open to box in the recycle bin.

2014 ToyotaFJ Cruiser

For 2014 fj cruiser; will not fit until you cut-off the two inside lower mount bolts that do not attatch the front bumper brackets at the end or front of the frame. Not sure why these bolts are there, but may be by Toyota for some other option. Haad to cut-off then grind the remaining remnant f the stud before installation could proceed.

J W.

Did you use hack saw or some easier method of cutting off bolts. Did you find what use these bolts were mounted for.

by: Ariana06/14/2021

Holds two fat-tire e-bikes securely. Easy to mount the bikes and remove them. Perfect solution for us as our airstream cannot accommodate a bike rack. Very satisfied with this product and would recommend it to anyone needing a front rack. Additionally, etrailer customer service is above and beyond. We will be using them again when needed for sure!



by: Friedom G02/16/2017
2011 Toyota 4Runner

I've used my front hitch off and on for a year now, and without apology. I've taken it on aggressive 4x4 trails scraped on boulders, carried cargo 1000 miles, towed vehicles, pulled stumps, and it's a solid as ever! Very happy, it does everything I wanted.

Do you have a question about this Snow Plow?


  • Can SnowBear Plow be Used with 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  • With a front hitch installed on your 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee like the Curt # C31048 you can use a SnowBear plow like the part # SB324-081 that you referenced which was designed to attach to 2 inch hitches.
    view full answer...

  • Wiring for SnowBear Personal Snow Plow
  • According to the control box wiring diagram (see attached) 2 of the wires for the SnowBear Personal Snowplow for 2" Hitches # SB324-081 go to the electric winch and 2 of them go to the battery. The only other thing that you might have is a switch for light accessories but the black wires for that setup go to ground. If none of this matches what you have then go ahead and send me a photo and/or a part number for the box you are looking at and I can see if there is anything else I can find out.

  • Plow Recommendation for 2002 Chevy Avalanche with Front Hitch
  • For a hitch mounted plow for the type of application you mentioned I really like the K2 # K2AVAL8219. It's 82 inches wide and 19 inches tall that uses a winch motor to raise and lower. It also comes with a wireless remote to make operation and install easy.

It won't perform nearly as well, but it can be used for this application. If you don't already have a front mount hitch receiver on your vehicle just let me know the year/make/model and I can make a recommendation for you!

  • Recommended Snow Plow for a 2017 Nissan Titan XD
  • As long as your front mount hitch receiver on your 2017 Nissan Titan XD was between 7 to 13 inches from the ground that the Personal Snowplow # SB324-081 that you referenced will fit. My contact at SnowBear confirmed this. The photo you are referring to is just a generic photo from the manufacturer. We also supply accessories for the SnowBear Snowplow like the Caster Kit # SB324-126 which allows you to wheel the snowplow when bringing it out of storage or putting it away into storage.

  • Snowbear Plow Receiver Hitch vs Custom Mount
  • The biggest difference I have seen between the two style is in the amount of play they have side to side. While it isn't a ton there is more play in the single connection point than what you will get out of the custom frame bracket types. We carry both types here but given the choice I would go with the custom bracket version. If you plan on moving it from one vehicle to another from time to time then the hitch mount is the way to go for ease of use. There is a great option with custom

  • Snow Bear Plow Recommendation for Fitting 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo
  • In order to use a Snowbear plow on the front of a 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo you'll need to use the one that installs with a front hitch. So for the front hitch you'd need the part # C31048 and then for the plow you'd want the part # SB324-081.

  • Does Snowbear Plow Come With Front Mounted Hitch?
  • The SnowBear Personal Snowplow, # SB324-081, does not come with a front-mounted hitch, but there is an option available for your 2017 Jeep Wrangler. I recommend the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver, # 31432, which is a two-inch hitch that bolts on and is a is custom-fit for Wranglers. The SnowBear offers accessories which are designed to make things easier on you, such as the Lighting Kit, # SB324-127, which mounts to the frame of the plow and simply wires to your Jeep's battery.

  • Solution for SnowBear Snow Plow that Wobbles When Raised Up While Traveling
  • I spoke with SnowBear about the issue you described and they said it sounds like you aren't using the safety chain that came with the plow which was designed for removing the play you are describing. There's more info on it on pages 13 and 14 in the manual of the plow. Secondly, vehicles with plows connected should NOT travel on roadways without the safety chain installed, as this may result in serious damage to the roadway, plow and vehicle and may cause serious injury to the operator.

I have included a link to the instructions for reference. I have also included a link to a video showing installation on a 2008 model.

  • With factory bolts, there is often thread locker or binding from time and debris. I recommend using a penetrating oil lubricant to work into the threading to allow you to loosen the nut. I recommend spraying the oil all the way around the nut only where it makes contact with the bolt and then using a wrench and mallet to add vibration to that nut. The vibration will help the oil get inside and loosen the hold. You may need to use a breaker bar to get the torque needed to loosen the

  • Will a Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Work with a Warn Multi Mount Kit On a 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser
  • The Curt Front Hitch for the 2008 FJ Cruiser , item # 31367, and the setup you are describing should work well, as long as the multi mount you are referring to is designed to fit into a 2 inch receiver. If you already have the winch but not the hitch mount, the Bulldog Hitch Mounted Winch Mounting Plate with Handles, item # BDW20011, will work with the mounting pattern of the Warn winch also.

  • Steel Thickness of Curt Front Mount Receiver Hitch # 31367
  • I went out to our warehouse and measured the thickness of the steel on the Curt Front Mount Hitch Receiver # 31367 with a digital caliper. The steel on the crosstube measured 0.255 inch thick and the steel on the mounting brackets are 0.342 inch thick. The tow hooks themselves have a 1/2 inch diameter. I have attached an image to assit. I have not heard of a customer modifying this particular hitch so that it fits your 2003 Toyota 4Runner so I am not sure what that process would

  • Recommended Front Mount Hitch And Bike Rack For 2010 Toyota FJ Cruiser With Backup Camera
  • With the backup camera mounted in the middle of the spare tire hub on your 2010 Toyota FJ Cruiser, it will be impossible to find a spare tire mounted bike carrier that would not interfere with the camera. Installing a rear hitch on your Cruiser and installing a bike rack would block the camera as well. My only recommendation would be to install a front mount hitch like part # 31367, on your Cruiser. You could then use a bike rack on the front of your vehicle. This hitch has a 350 lb

  • Is It Possible The Curt Front Hitch 31367 Could Fit 4Runner Models Prior To 2007?
  • Hey Trenton thanks for the question. You are correct that the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch # 31367 technically is not a confirmed fit for the 2003 Toyota 4Runner. Per the manufacturer it is only made for 2007-2009 models. That being said, we have had several of our customers report back to us and say that the # 31367 hitch can be made to fit model years prior to 2007. I have included a few screenshots of some customer reviews below. It sounds like in both cases the hitch was successfully

  • Recommended Front Hitch for a 2011 Toyota FJ Cruiser w/ a Motorcycle Carrier
  • Yes, it can and thanks for the picture! The Curt Front Trailer Hitch item # 31367 has a 350 lbs vertical load limit. So long as your carrier weighs 90 lbs or less this set up will work great with your 2011 Toyota FJ Cruiser. I have linked an installation video below to help you get this hitch installed. If you need a motorcycle carrier, I recommend the etrailer Motorcycle Carrier w/ Ramp item # e98873. This carrier has a 500 lbs capacity and weighs only 58 lbs.

  • Can A Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver Be Installed On A 2008 Toyota Highlander?
  • I may have another option for you, but the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver #31367 is only confirmed to fit a 2007-2009 Toyota 4Runner, 2007-2014 Toyota FJ Cruiser, and 2010-2013 Toyota 4Runner Trail Edition. At this time there is not a custom fit front mount trailer hitch confirmed to fit your 2008 Toyota Highlander but that does not mean that a universal option like the Draw-Tite # 41990-07 cannot be installed. You would need to have a local fabricator modify it and weld it to your vehicle.
