I do have an option that will allow you to attach a snowplow to the front of your 2010 Chevy Silverado 1500 but the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 31322 will not work with the Fisher MM2 Mount Kit as they both occupy the same space on the frame rails.

For a snowplow that will work well with a 2" front mount trailer hitch receiver and your Chevy Silverado 1500, I recommend using the Detail K2 Avalanche Snowplow part # K2AVAL8219. The Detail K2 Avalanche has an 82" wide blade, electric winch with in-cab controller, and flip down caster wheels to move the plow while not attached to the vehicle.

Unfortunately, you will need to choose between a custom snowplow mounting bracket kit or a front mount trailer hitch receiver as they will all occupy the same space on the frame rail, making the two incompatible with one another. I have also attached an installation video of the front mount hitch in addition to a review video of the snowplow for you as well.

I have a 2024 Chevy Silverado with a fisher mount for my plow. In the summertime, I’d like to carry a cargo basket on the front of the truck ideally, with the 2 inch receiver. Is there any way to make this work?

@Paul If your fisher plow mounts via a 2" receiver then yes, you'll just remove the plow to free up the receiver space. It sounds, though, like you're in the same boat as our friend Phil and you need custom plow and receiver mounts. This currently isn't possible, but I can still recommend a cargo carrier for the back of your truck, or we can look into a roof rack or ladder rack that you can mount a cargo tray to if you're open to that?

@JonG thank you for the fast reply. I think I’ll fabricate something.

@Paul Happy to help out as best I can. Good luck with the fabrication! If you don't already have a cargo carrier, I recommend checking out something like the Flint Hill Goods # FHG27ZR because it's aluminum. Not only do you get a lighter carrier, but it will help resist corrosion which is especially helpful at the front of a vehicle instead of behind it.
