Best SUV Snow Plows

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 easy plow to use. The hardware that came in was missing a couple nuts and bolts. Had to run to the hardware store a couple times to get the proper bolts and nuts. The plow doesn't come assembled. So expect a good evening to build this unit. First two years was great and the scraping was good. Back dragging slacks but again a lot of plows do that. So it's not terrible but does enough. Just leaves 1/4 of snow behind. But pushing snow forward works and scrapes nice on asphalt or concrete. The battery that came with the kit for the wireless controller didn't last 1 month. So be prepared to upgrade that. But it's been now on my 3rd year, one of the springs failed on it and currently searching for the replacement. The plow itself has a one year warranty so of course it's past due now. Overall it works and it's nice. Wish I had bought the power left and right but the manual lever works too. Also the side markers prematurely failed too so I had to buy meyer yellow ones from fleet farm. Cost another $xx. But I will update this as time goes.

It has been working very well as we have actually had a decent amount of snow so far this year. took a little longer than I thought it would to assemble and mount it but after it was on it works great and looks good.

I've had this plow for over a year and still haven't had the opportunity to use it yet ( No Snow ) , assembly was easy enough for one person, like the wheels on the blade had to drill out the holes a little to get the pins to go in , and the stand in the back had to be cut off to keep it from hitting the back of the bumper and not going all the way down. Other than a few minor modifications seems well built.

Works great plows like a 1ton with a 6 k plow on it. Fast shipping easy assembly. Couldn't be happier

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.

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.

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.

The 5 star review is for etrailer and their staff. The plow and brackets I absolutely needed to be delivered by mid-December were delayed by etrailer's vender (due to no fault of etrailer) until after January 2025. Etrailer's customer service was very responsive and refunded the purchase price. At this time, I cannot speak to the quality of the plow and mounting brackets. However, after I recover from my January shoulder surgery (approx 6 months) I am planning on ordering this plow and mounting brackets during the summer or early fall so that I can have it fully assembled and ready to go next winter.
