Snowplow Installation
Front or rear mount? Versatility is the SnowSport LT's middle name.
Installation is quick and simple - just slide the included shank assembly into your 2" hitch receiver and secure with pin.
Once the plow frame is connected, attach the blade by lifting one end at a time onto the frame's holders. The lightweight aluminum blade construction makes lifting or adjusting an easy, one-person job. Secure the blade in either the transport or plowing position with the plow's snap pins. The low-profile design won't block your headlights, and the transport position is secure enough for highway travel.
How to Plow
If using with a rear-mount receiver, simply lower the blade to plow position and back up as usual. For a front-mounted plow blade, just drive forward with the blade in the plow position. The unique design takes the hassle out of plowing: This device has no hydraulics or complicated wiring. The push frame on the shank assembly allows the blade to move along the grade of the terrain for easier, more efficient plowing. The heavy-duty rubber cutting edge is effective yet turf friendly, collecting snow and squeegeeing slush without digging into the ground.
When you are ready to reverse your driving direction, the blade lies back, skimming over the surface of the ground until you change direction again to plow.
Handy blade markers extend vertically from the ends of the plow to help you see where you are plowing.
With the SnowSport LT, plowing snow is as easy as backing out of your driveway. Once you are finished plowing, simply lift the blade, refasten it in the transport position and head off for work or errands.

Video Transcript for Front Mount Trailer Hitch Installation - 2013 GMC Sierra
Today on our 2013 GMC Sierra we're going to take a look at and show you how to install the Kirk custom-fit front-mount trailer hitch receiver. This offers a 2-inch opening. It's part number is C31023. Here's what our hitch looks like once we get it installed here on the front of the Sierra, really nice clean-looking hitch, beefs up the look of the front end a little bit. It doesn't protrude out pass the front edge of our bumper. That straight line would be about there, so we're going have maybe an inch and a half, 2 inches because it's tucked back in but it sticks out far enough that we've got plenty of access room for our pin hole. We've used all existing bolts, some to hold the tow hooks in, some for the bumper.
This is going to offer a 500-pound ton rating and a 5,000-pound gross trailer weight rating. You say, "It's on front of the truck. That doesn't mean a whole lot. I'm going to push my boat down the road or something," but from what we see in the reviews and what customers are saying for maneuvering your boat in those tighter spots, it can really comes in handy. Just hook it up to the front.
It gives you a good visual. You're looking right at it. You maneuver it right into those sometimes harder-to-get-to spots. Also, this is going to work out great for wrench recovery. Straight line pull, we put our wrench into here. As long as it's rated at those numbers, it's going to hold up to 9,000 pounds.
That gives us great recovery opportunities there. Also, other usage, you could get a cargo carrier to mount up here on the front, give you a little safari look. We've got snow plows that'll mount up here on the front so you can clear your driveway. The hitch offers a 5/8s inch pin hole here in the side. All the 5/8s hitch pin accessories are going to work with that whether it's pin-and-clip, anti-rattle bolt.
Then we've got the nice enlarged in here, so even the hitch immobilizer is going to go around there and block out whatever it is that we've got in place. Now a couple of measurements you may find helpful would be from the ground to the inside top edge of our receiver tube opening, it's about 12 inches. Then from the center of our hitch pin hole to the outermost edge of our bumper, it's about 3. Now to begin our installation, for a little bit of safety and also support for our bumper, we're going to use just a regular cam-buckle strap. We're going to feed it right into the large hole here. Behind is a metal bracket right up here. Then we'll bring it over to each side. We'll see in our bumper here, there's a small tab that's got a hole in it. We're just going to hook that into that side. I'll pull out a little bit of the slack. Then we'll get the other side hooked up. Now we'll just pull any slack in that strap out. Then as we loosen up a couple of the bolts that are holding the bumper into place, that'll give us some support so we don't have to worry about that coming down. Now we're going to start taking a few bolts out. This is the front lower fascia on the bumper. We're here on the driver's side. We remove this bolt and this bolt. Those hold our tow hook in. One there. Sometimes they come out freely. Sometimes you'll have to put a wrench on the nut that's on the back side there. You pull that out. Then remove that tow hook. Now while we're here, we're also going to remove the 2 bolts. One. Then that should push out together. Now let's head over to the passenger side and remove those same 4. We need to trim out just a little notch for that hitch to fit through. Now to find our center we need to look underneath here. Our 2 tabs here, we just want to measure the gap between them, about 2 and 3/8's. That's our center mark. Mark it on our tape. Now we'll just use a straight edge and just bring that up on our tape so we have a good idea. Next up we're going to find our top edge. Now we're going to come down from this intersection 7/8's of an inch. Now we're going to take out the gap here. It's going to be 2 and 3/4's of an inch. We'll do an inch and 3/8's on each side. All right. Now we're going to be taking out that section right there. Now we can take a look at the attachment points that we're going to be using. You've already had a real good look at them. They're going to be the bolts that we have removed. We've got our lower bolt, the side bolt. Those we're for our tow hook if you remember. Then just above those we've got our bumper bolts. Now we're going to use the factory hardware that we removed. We'll just get our hitch put up there, get a few of the bolts started and then get the rest of them in place. We're going to take the tow hook we removed. We're going to place it right back in. What we'll do is line up the hole that our bolt went through the nut that's on that tow hook. For good measure if you use just a little screwdriver up here in the front, you can see where I've got it. Just let the tow hook rest down on that. It's going to hold it into position until we get our bolt lined up into place. Now we can grab our hitch, raise it up into position and get our hardware started. Now with those started, that's going to hold our hitch into position for us. Let's go ahead, grab the rest of them and get those in. Now we will just torque that down to specification. We'll have this job taken care of. Now before we head down the road, let's get our cam-buckle strap out of here. It's done it's job. With everything torqued to specification, that's going to complete today's installation of the Kirk front-mount trailer-hitch receiver, Part Number C31023 on our 2013 GMC Sierra.

Delivery was super fast, instructions and instructional video was excellent. Installed my new part in less than 40 minutes
by: Bill M.03/14/2021
Install went perfectly. It all bolted up just how the instructions said it would. The hardest part was navigating your tools in the tight spaces. Having the deep sockets as suggested is definitely worth it. I was also able to utilize a cordless impact wrench and it helped a ton. This will work great for our bike rack.

Great front receiver hitch for my Chevy Silverado 2500 HD. Everything fit using OE bolts and nuts. Only the plastic trim had to be cut out to fit receiver. I had dealer do it, but would have done it myself when I was younger. etrailer is easy to order from and has good customer service.

Overall, my experience with etrailer was good. There was an initial delay in shipping, but once I talked to someone, everything went well. The help page was invaluable. The biggest help was the installation video. While there are slight differences between the 2011 GMC and the 2013, the process was the same. I am very pleased with the product and the support. Picture attached.

Perfect fit for my 2012 GMC 3500. Directions are excellent. It is a tight work space for some of the bolts. I've carried a bike rack with 130 lbs of ebikes for 600 miles so far and no problems.

Installed this hitch this morning 10/06/19. Was going to wait for help as arthritis in hands makes turn wrenches a chore but was bored so went ahead anyhow. This is my second front hitch install , first one on 2018 F-150. Today’s install on 2014 duramax 2500. Today’s install was super simple , used floor jack to hold hitch up in position, you need to remove four bolts on each side , I did try air tools on the 21mm bolts but not powerful enough so used small piece of copper pipe over wrench handle for leverage to loosen, air tools were able to loosen the six 18mm bolts , took me about an hour and a half by myself. The fit of the hitch was absolutely perfect! Had to cut a small piece of the air dam at bottom of bumper, used a hacksaw, very easy. The quality and coating on the hitch is top notch.

Excellent fit & function delivered in a reasonable amount of time. Although this shot is at our current campground in NJ, the hitch will be used to park my boat in its hard-to-get-to parking spot. Great job, Etrailer!

Great product, easy to install. Had to cut the air-dam but no other alterations needed. It is a little low but no more so than the front of the truck air dam.

I use a motorcycle carrier on the front for my 125 scooter while pulling my fifth wheel. It is very secure and the finish has held up fine. I would recommend this purchase.
by: Robert 10/24/2023
I watched the attachment on how to install and video was spot on. The hitch is very well made. I'll enjoy this for years to come. Thank you

As always, delivery was quick. Hitch was easy to install and works nice. We do a lot of camping and since very few of the travel trailer manufacturers recommend a trailer hitch (some will tell you it voids your warranty), we can carry our bikes up front with this hitch.

I was a little surprised with the snow plow. I thought it was going to be hydraulic/electric. It does okay, going on flat and slight declines. Inclines not so good. I also. Bought a rear trailer hitch. Very pleased with it.

I ordered a front hitch mount for our RV. Product is very heavy duty and priced right! I ordered on a Friday afternoon and had my part by Tuesday, very impressed. Will surely use this company in the future.

The hitch mount has worked great. Knowing it was machined for pick up trucks, I had no problem installing on a Freightliner chassis. Had to drill a few holes and fabricated a additional brace out of some angle iron for added piece of mind. I have no concerns about the sturdiness and integrity when using this mount.
by: William07/24/2018
very sturdy product; installation was straight forward exactly as instructions indicated. I had planned to haul motorcycle on this front mount hitch with a carrier meant for a rear receive hitch. While i have not done so yet (lighting issues i need to resolve), this receiver will do the job. I also plan on picking up a receiver mount for a winch which could come in handy. Shipping was fast from etrailer. Overall great product and great service! I got just what I expected from the description.
by: Ed C08/05/2019
Installed on my 2012 Silverado 2500HD and it fit perfectly and was very easy to install. Cut my lower cowling to allow the hitch to protrude and it looks awesome! Very glad I purchased your product and would highly recommend to everyone!!

Still Rocking!I have used this many times and it is still a great product!
by: Dave T.09/20/2015
Exact fit. Took less than 30 minutes to install in my shop and used all of the factory attaching hardware. If your truck is equipped with the second lower plastic deflector, approximately 3" long, you'll need to trim a 2 3/4" square out dead center for the tube to clear. I've installed several RV accessories over the years and I want to thank you for taking the time to get the fit correct. Time is money and your product is spot on. I would recommend this to anyone looking to install a hitch to the front of their truck for a bike rack or to make moving a trailer around in a crowded yard a breeze.

2014 GMC Sierra
Perfect fit on my 2014 Sierra 2500HD Denali. Removed the air dam and it bolted right up. I use it for a front rack to haul a canoe with my 5th wheel camper and it suits my purposes perfectly. You do lose some front approach angle with the receiver hanging down up front, but if you don't do a lot of off road travel you wouldn't notice any difference.
by: Melissa 10/29/2021
We pull a fifth-wheel and have our kayaks on the back of the camper, originally the bike rack went into the kayak rack but it made a lot of weight hanging out the back, so we bought this front hitch for our bikes and it worked out great. Hitch is heavy duty and was easy to install.

2011 Chevrolet Silverado
I installed the hitch on my 2011 HD2500 Silverado and it functions as expected. The installation itself was simple. I had to cut out a small area of the valance/air dam so the hitch would clear. I had no trouble torquing the hardware to specs. The installation looks good and like it is intended to be there.
I have used Curt hitches previously and this product is to place my boat in a closed in area in my backyard.

view full answer... - Best Front Receiver Hitch for 2011 Chevrolet Silverado 2500
- My best recommendation for a front receiver hitch for your 2011 Chevrolet Silverado HD is the Curt Front Hitch # C31023. This will go on behind your bumper. You may need to trim the bumper fascia around the bottom a little bit depending on how the hitch sits, but just enough to make room around the hitch receiver tube.
Once you have that installed, we also have other accessories you may want to use with it like a winch mounting plate # BDW20011.

- Curt front-mount hitch receiver # C31023 fits only 2500 and 3500 series Sierras but we do have two front hitches for your 2011 GMC Sierra 1500, part # 65052 from Draw-Tite and part # 31322 from Curt.
Both 2-inch hitches are rated for 500-lbs of vertical load (tongue weight) and for a 9000-lb line pull. There are no higher-rated front hitches for your truck.

- You can use a high low adapter like part # RM-048-8 to lower the hitch opening but you should note that it will lower the capacity of the hitch by 50 percent.
I attached a picture of the Curt Hitch part # C31023 installed and you can see it sits a bit closer to the ground. This might be your best option since it wouldn't require the use of the high low adapter.

- I spoke with my contact at Curt about Front Mount Hitch, # C31023. He stated that the receiver will be located below the bumper and below the fascia piece. He stated that the face of the receiver will be about 2 inches further back than the bumper. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you to look at also.

- The most popular front hitch we offer for your 2011 Chevy Silverado 2500HD is the Curt hitch part # C31023. Tech tips for this hitch are that the tow loops will need to be removed and reattached for hitch installation. Front bumper bolts will also be removed and reinstalled. Since this has more reviews than the other hitch we offer for your vehicle and they are higher as well I would recommend this hitch for you.

- For your 2014 GMC 2500 HD Denali I recommend the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # C31023. I do want to note that Denali models do require quite a bit of fascia trimming to fit with a this or any other front mounted hitch.
This hitch is a simple bolt on installation with all required hardware included. I've attached a video below to help walk you through the installation of this hitch as well.

- The Curt front mount trailer hitch # C31023 does not exclude the Denali models of the 2011 GMC Sierra. However, because of the different front fascia on Denali models you may need to do some extensive trimming to install the hitch. On non-Denali models you would only need to trim a small area, see the instructions I have linked, but on a Denali model, more of the fascia structure would require trimming to fit. I have also included a link to a video showing a typical installation for you.

- Going with a front mounted hitch and a heavy duty carrier for your sportbike is really the only option for transporting your bike while towing a 5th wheel trailer. The motorcycle carriers we currently have available are not rated for use behind a trailer, so this will be the best solution.
For your 2013 Chevy Silverado, I recommend the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # C31023. This hitch will provide you with a 2 inch receiver opening and has a 500 pound vertical load capacity.

You can obtain the proper sized hardware locally if need be. Just make sure that the hardware is Class 5 or higher rated. I have linked a video showing an example installation for you.

- Sometimes during shipping hitches will bend slightly. It could have been that the mounting brackets of the Curt hitch part # C31023 got slightly bent and that is why you had a small gap between the bracket and the frame of the truck. Typically we recommend people use an open stairwell or a large vice to apply leverage to the brackets so that they can be bent back.
