Detail K2 Plow Length

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.


Simple, Hitch-Mounted Installation

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.


Detail K2 Hitch Mount

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.


Detail K2 Caster Wheel

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.


How to Plow

Detail K2 Adjustable Plow Position

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.


Detail K2 Wireless Remote 2.4Ghz

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.


Easy Lifting with Electric Winch

Detail K2 Electric Winch

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.


Detail K2 Features

Detail K2 Skid Shoes

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.


Detail K2 Blade Stiffener

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.


Detail K2 Trip Springs

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.

The hitch was well-made, and installing it was very easy. However, the design of the hitch is somewhat perplexing. The hitch receiver hangs about 3 inches lower than it needs to, which reduces the ground clearance on the front of the truck significantly. See attached photos. The hitch will work until I find something better, That restores the front ground clearance

Great, except for the reduced front clearance as indicated in my review

Well so far so good. It was a little difficult trying to do it by myself, got most of it done and then had to go to a autobody shop down the road to tighten up the 4 bolts.

It worked out great! We traveled to Key West from New England with only a couple of problems. Watch out for dips in the road, curbstones, large tree roots.



by: Fernando Zapata11/29/2023

The hitch is mounted on our 2018 GMC 2500hd. We use it to transport our bikes. We choose not to mount items on our tv rear bumper.

This front hitch carrier has been a life saver for us. I reviewed all the bike mounting options I could find for our truck camper and decided that mounting the bikes on a front receiver hitch was the way to go. The customer service at the front end was excellent. I needed to be sure that the position of the hitch receiver would allow a) enough ground clearance, b) that the bikes would not be touching the front grill of the truck, c) that the bikes would not be sitting up so high that the view of the driver would be obstructed and d) that I would actually be able to do the install myself. Well, the customer service gal on the phone was very helpful and took a lot of time to research and answer all my questions and I felt confident that I was getting the right item. I was able to install the receiver in less than 2 hours with the help of my neighbor. The instructions were clear and the install went fairly smoothly. The end result is an excellent product that is very strong and durable and holds our bike rack perfectly. We have logged over 5000 miles since installing it last spring and I could not be happier with how things have worked out!

Bought this DK2 plow in Jan 2023, and naturally we had no more snow the rest of the winter. Just got to use it last week after getting a foot of snow. Worked great, easier than I expected. The written instructions could’ve been a bit clearer on how to attach the assembled plow to the truck, but it was easy enough to figure out. Very happy with the purchase

Very easy front reciever install, I was able to do it by myself with a hydralic floor jack. And no bumper modifications needed

It took me a little more than an hour to install the mount. It was a little tight but I used a come a long to pull it into alignment.

I really like the front hitch. I use it to haul kayaks when I'm towing my fifth wheel.
My only complaint is that it significantly decreases my front end clearance. I now tend to hit ground while going through dips.
Other than that, it's been great.



by: Calvin P.01/02/2015
2015 Chevrolet Silverado 3500

The Curt Front Mount Hitch is a great addition to any working man's truck. The fit is so tight that I had to bend the side frame tabs out a little bit to get it mounted. Once in place it mounted exactly as described.

Installed on a 2018 Chevy 3500HD (diesel)

Product
arrived as scheduled in a shipping box that was damaged in transit. Upon inspection of the contents, it was determined everything was fine and all installation parts were securely attached to the hitch. It's understandable that a cardboard box with a 35 pound steel frame will get some damage in handling.

Installation: Absolutely watch the video online, it is extremely helpful! I jacked up the front of my truck about 6 inches and set jack stands in place on the jacking blocks behind front wheel wells. I also removed the plastic debris guard (4-15mm bolts) for easier access to the mounting points. I must say, the threaded pull wires are a wonderful addition that made the installation flawless! Take your time and follow the enclosed instructions (and video) and it should take you about 30-45 minutes. I am an average mechanic at best and this was a really easy install!

Be aware that adding the hitch up front will require you be careful with parking curbs, however I think the hitch is stout enough to insure it will destroy a concrete curb. Probably best to avoid testing that theory.

I test mounted a motorcycle carrier on the from of the truck and loaded up a KTM 690 Duke. (315 lbs) Virtually no sag in the front suspension and to bike should ride well with proper pads & tie-downs. Makes for an interesting hood ornament ;)

All in all, a great product and vendor. You can buy with confidence.

Stout Hitch



by: Ryan 05/24/2020
2015 Ram 3500

Overall quality looking hitch. The side-flanges were not wide enough to fit around my ‘16 Sierra 3500 frame which was extremely difficult to install, especially with the fish-wire. Had to use a floor jack to push the hitch into place and remove the skid plate and thankfully there was an access hole in the frame where the flange-bolt goes. Did not want to cut a hole behind the license plate so this was the only option and would buy again if needed but the flanges should be 1/16th to an 1/8 of an inch wider.

Ryan

5/25/2021

Had to remove, to low to the ground and kept hitting everything.

Thank you for your review. On a 3500 Sierra the top of the receiver tube opening to level ground should be 9 3/ 4".

I searched far and wide for a front hitch for my 2018 GMC 2500 HD Denali, most will not fit the Denali for some reason. This one did so with no trimming of the air dam, it's a perfect fit and only took about 45 minutes to install by myself. This will be the second truck I've owned with a front hitch and it seems like a necessity at this point, they're great for bicycle racks, winches, kayak racks, you name it!



by: Dave G01/15/2021

After I got the front hitch installed, the plow assembled and hooked up I spent a little time tweaking the skid plates to keep the plow just off of the gravel. Works great for our 100 yard driveway and parking area.



by: Ronald T06/03/2022

Mounted the hitch yesterday. Trying to get time to assemble the balance. And I retired???? Oh, golf today.

The Curt hitch assembly arrived in excellent condition. As usual, George did a fantastic job of getting my order to me very promptly. The installation went perfectly and exactly as shown in the video on the etrailer.com website. The front hitch fit was perfect on my 2015 GMC Sierra.

Ive driven thousands of miles with my bicycle rack attached to the Curt front receiver. The Curt front receiver has performed perfectly. The best thing is I didnt have to cut or alter my truck to install it.



by: Tom D06/21/2019

We added this hitch to the front of our GMC Sierra 1 ton and carry 2 ruckus motorcycles with us camping. This is a 500 lb. load upfront and carries wonderfully. It does hang low under the front bumper, so you will hit the curb if you park straight in. It will also hit a steep driveway. A lift kit for the truck is a possible cure but we carry a large camper and would be top heavy. We would buy this product again in a heartbeat as it is well constructed and easy to install in minutes.

Tom D.

Still love it, but rough roads are a no go without lifting our truck. There are many asphalt marks from Jasper to Yellowstone.

  • Required Hitch Height of Detail K2 Snowplow for 2 Hitches 88 Wide x 26 Tall
  • The Detail K2 Snowplow for 2" Hitches part # K2AVAL8826 will require a hitch height between 13" - 18". This is measured from the ground to the bottom of the receiver opening. In regards to a 2005 Ford F-150, the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 31352 will put you in range so that's what I recommend.

  • Will Curt Front Mount Receiver Fit a 2015 GMC Sierra 3500 with Fisher Plow Push Plates Installed
  • The front mount receivers for your 2015 GMC Sierra 3500 including # C31071 are designed to fit stock models of the truck. In other words, they do not test them with other items installed on the trucks. Basically what you will have to do is look at the instructions. Then you would compare that to how and where your Fisher plow push plates are installed. If they occupy the same space and/or use the same mounting locations then you would have to use one or the other but not both.

There is one common bolt hole on either side that they use which may require you purchasing a longer bolt.

We haven't had anyone complain about the ground clearance but the receiver will be under the front fascia so it is possible that it could make contact with the ground at severe enough inclines.

Only option would be to install the front hitch and go with a plow that mounts in a hitch if you really need both.
