Detail K2 Rampage II Snowplow - 82" Wide x 19" Tall
I bought this K2RAMP8219 snow plow to take care of small properties in my neighborhood. Had a mechanic install the electrical under the hood and I put together the parts as described in the instructions. Everything seemed fine. Hooked up the plow to the vehicle and it lifted fine and lowered fine. Soon as we got our first small snowfall I try to plow my back driveway and it wasn't enough snow to see how will the plow worked so I tried to remove the plow from the hitch and couldn't get the plow off. I tried moving the vehicle to all sorts of areas on my driveway and still would not unhook. Had to Dremel the plow bracket of the hitch . Then tried to get it back on and it wouldn't go back on. Called technical support and told them of this problem and they sent a new hitch and that didn't work either. Now the snow plow sits in my backyard and can't do anything with it.
We purchased the DK2 Rampage II snowplow in Nov.2015, and started using it in Oct. 2016. Now it's been a little over a year, and the snow plow stopped working. After careful inspection, we found out the winch installed in the plow is an used+defective one (inside screws and rubber washer are not in place). It would be great if all parts are new and without defect. What's worse, we tried to call the 1-800 on the instruction manual for ordering a replacement part, but never got any human being to answer the phone after trying for a week. Finally we found the phone # of the seller - etrailer from my old email folder. It would be more convenient if you could have placed your phone # on the manual so that customers can easily contact you in case of any problem. Thank you for listening.

Great plow, easy to use and reasonably priced. However, do not go with the DK2 plow lights. Nobody seems to know what wire harness kit you need for your truck and DK2 will not help you. Thank goodness the rest of the plow is quality or you probably wouldn't get an answer from them just like they never returned multiple emails or calls regarding a wire harness for their plow light attachments. I like the plow but cannot back the company for lack of supporting their products and consumers.
I love my Summit II Plow. I have it on a 2000 Jeep Wrangler. I was unsure if my Jeep could handle this size plow, but it handles it very well. With my Jeep I can plow my driveway easier than a pickup with the short vehicle/wheelbase turning and maneuvering in small places. Installation was pretty easy with the custom mounting brackets. The only problem I had was the shoes being too short. I replaced them with Item # 3371303002 at etrailer and they work fine. I live in Minnesota where we get plenty of snow and this sure beats plowing with an ATV which I used before I bought this plow.

In mid-January, I received the plow kit about a week after the biggest snowfall of the year, a lot of which is still on the ground a month later. So it was not for another two weeks that a dusting came in where I could try it out. Worked okay, but not enough snow to really tell. So a couple of weeks later, mid-February, we were to get another "dusting" so I did not bother to hook up the plow. Next morning there was about 4" on the ground and more coming in sideways. After shoveling a small area to move the plow into place I was able to hook it up in a couple of minutes. I share a driveway with my neighbor so it is about three cars wide and the top of it is street level the bottom is at basement floor level with a 40 degree hill separating the two. I have the blade mounted on a 1994 Grand Cherokee sitting on Wrangler Radials. In four swipes I had 90% of it done and off to the sides. The rest was minor cleanup with a shovel. Then I took it to my office where I have a parking lot about 60 feet by 150 feet. After that big snow storm noted earlier I used a snow blower for about an hour to get maybe 1/3 of it cleared. The Jeep and plow blade had that sucker cleared down to the pavement in about 10 minutes. Should have had one of these years ago.
These brackets were a pretty rough install on my 1998 Grand Cherokee. Before you crawl under your Jeep make sure you take these to the grinder and knock some of the powder coat off of the pins that go into the frame rails, otherwise no amount of hammering will get them in there. Other than that, they seem to be holding up pretty well and I am plowing on an uneven dirt driveway. The whole plow system has taken a decent amount of abuse so far.

SnowBear Snowplow for 2" Hitches - 84" Wide x 22" Tall
Decent plow for the price. I installed this DK2 Avalanche on a 2003 GMC Yukon 1500 with a Curt front receiver hitch 31302. If you have a side mount battery, you may need battery bolt extenders (Battery Doctor #30400) to make life easier. That said, the ring terminal connectors on the winch control box will be too small. Get ones that will fit the 3/8 inch stud and 12-10 AWG wire to replace the stock ones. Manufacturer instructions are not very helpful, but Graz's Garage has a great install video on YouTube. He installed his on a 2020 Chevy Colorado Z71. You can always count on a gearhead from Detroit. eTrailer is awesome at responding to concerns, too, and I'm glad I bought this product from them.
My plow was delivered quickly. It took a bit longer to assemble than I thought it would, but it seems pretty heavy duty and looks and works great for my 600' long driveway. It's much better and quicker than plowing with my 4 wheeler and warmer too.

SnowBear Plow for 2" Hitches - Electric Actuator - 82" Wide x 19" Tall
I purchased a SnowBear Proshovel Snowplow and a 2" Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver for my 2001 Ford Explorer Sport Trac. The front mount hitch receiver was a breeze to mount to my vehicle. Literally 15 minutes from start to finish. When the SnowBear plow arrived I was a little apprehensive, as it came in 3 separate boxes and some assembly was required. The directions included were phenomenal, easy to understand and took you through complete assembly step by step. This has been a wonderful experience and I could not be happier.

Poor attachment to Jeep, not durable in the least. The brackets are a good starting point to fabricate durable mounts. After additional fabrication they work great.

Melissa at E-Trailor was very helpful and service was good. DK2 sent us the wrong mounting brackets three times. Eventually I received the right parts to mount up the plow. After plowing with it multiple times, I miss the hydrdoturn capacity of my 60 year old Meyer plow. This DK plow will move snow but it is awkward and slow.
Worked great through year one.

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
Excellent for a home plow! Does the job but hard to use in heavy wet snow but good for the average snow fall

I simply love it, it does everything I need it to do.
What a great package. All the bolts are in every hole so you don’t have to figure out where each one goes. Took a couple hours in the cold to assemble.
