Best Snow Plow For Truck: Hitch-Mounted Kits Compared

#1 · Best Overall

1. DK2 AVAL8422

• Weight: 333 lb

Best for: Wireless winch-controlled plowing.

Why it ranks #1: Its 84-inch blade, wireless powered lift, three manual angle positions, and caster wheels make it a well-equipped choice for compatible trucks.

A wireless controller raises and lowers the DK2 blade from inside the vehicle, letting drivers manage lift without stepping out into winter conditions. The 84-by-22-inch plow mounts to a 2-inch Class III front receiver hitch and pairs that vehicle-side control with caster wheels for attaching and detaching.

The 2-inch Class III front receiver system is specified for SUVs and light-duty trucks, giving the kit a defined mounting route rather than a permanent plow mount. Caster wheels make attaching and detaching easier, while the wireless controller handles blade raising and lowering from the vehicle. For directional clearing, the blade manually locks into three angles; included skid shoes, blade markers, and a snow deflector add practical equipment for working across a driveway or similar surface.

Skip it if you need a lighter kit to handle; this plow weighs 333 pounds, while the DK2 Elite AVAL8422ELT weighs 296 pounds.

Choose this for an SUV or light-duty truck owner who wants wireless blade lifting and caster-assisted attachment. The 2-inch Class III front receiver requirement and 333-pound kit weight are important practical fit considerations.

#2 · Best Wide Blade

2. DK2 AVAL8826

• Weight: 341 lb

Best for: Wide blade with cab-side lift.

Why it ranks #2: The 88-inch by 26-inch blade offers the widest listed clearing span here, with an electric winch and three locking angle positions.

The 88-inch blade gives the DK2 AVAL8826 a wider clearing path, while its electric winch raises the blade from controls inside the vehicle. That pairing suits truck and SUV owners who want broad passes and cab-side lift; directional adjustment remains manual, with three locking positions.

This kit fits most trucks and SUVs when paired with a 2-inch front mount receiver, which is sold separately. Once mounted, the electric winch handles blade lifting from inside the warm vehicle, reducing the need to exit for up-and-down control. A single lever lifts a pin to set and lock the blade in one of three angles, so changing the direction of snow movement still involves manual adjustment. Its 88-inch width is the central clearing dimension.

Skip it if you need blade angle changes controlled from the cab; this kit's three angle positions are set manually with a lever and pin.

A truck or SUV owner wanting an 88-inch blade and in-cab electric lifting should consider this kit. Plan for a separately sold 2-inch front receiver, and note that blade-angle changes are manual.

#3 · Best Hydraulic Option

3. Meyer 26500 Home Plow

• Weight: 95 lb

Best for: Remote hydraulic driveway clearing.

Why it ranks #3: This hydraulically operated 7-foot-6-inch Home Plow offers remote control of all functions and attaches to a Class 3 front receiver.

Hydraulic operation provides full remote control of the Meyer Home Plow’s functions, making it the choice here for buyers who want more than remote blade lifting. Its 7-foot-6-inch format is described as suited to clearing long driveways quickly, and it attaches to light pickups, SUVs, and utility vehicles.

The Class 3 two-inch front receiver connection supports attachment to the listed light pickups, SUVs, and utility vehicles, though the receiver hitch is sold separately. Hydraulic operation gives the driver remote control of all functions, a broader control scope than a lift-only description. At 7 feet 6 inches, the blade is intended to clear long driveways quickly and easily. Buyers should account for the separate hitch when planning installation and confirm the vehicle has the specified receiver setup.

Skip it if you do not have or plan to obtain a Class 3 two-inch front receiver hitch; this plow's hitch is sold separately.

This suits an owner of a light pickup, SUV, or utility vehicle who wants hydraulically operated remote control for long driveway clearing. The separate Class 3 two-inch receiver hitch is a necessary installation consideration.

#4 · Best 82-Inch Powered Kit

4. DK2 AVAL8219

• Weight: 288 lb

Best for: Wireless lift with manual angle setting.

Why it ranks #4: Its 82-inch all-steel blade uses a 3,000-pound wireless electric winch, and the blade locks manually into three positions.

A 3,000-pound wireless electric winch raises and lowers the DK2 AVAL8219 blade, with operation controlled from inside the vehicle. Its 82-by-19-inch format and powder-coated all-steel construction suit light-truck and SUV owners seeking remote lift control, while blade direction is adjusted manually.

The kit slides onto a receiver mount and is listed for most light trucks and SUVs, making the specified mounting approach central to fit. A wireless 3,000-pound winch handles blade lifting and lowering from inside the vehicle, but a single lever and pin set the blade manually in one of three locking positions. Powder-coated all-steel construction with UV coating is specified for added durability. At 288 pounds, this is a substantial assembly to account for when attaching or storing it.

Skip it if you want blade-angle changes from inside the cab; this plow's three positions are set manually with a lever and pin.

Choose this for a light-truck or SUV owner who values wireless blade lifting and an all-steel, powder-coated build. The 288-pound weight and manual angle setting are relevant handling and workflow limits.

#5

5. DK2 AVAL8422ELT

• Weight: 296 lb

Best for: Roll-away storage and cab-side lift.

Why it ranks #5: This 84-inch T-frame kit has an electric actuator, three manual blade-angle positions, and a slide-out design that rolls away for storage.

The DK2 Elite slides into a 2-inch Class III front receiver and can slide out and roll away for storage, combining quick mounting with a clear stowage plan. Its electric actuator raises the blade from inside the vehicle, while manual adjustment sets one of three blade-locking positions.

The 84-by-22-inch T-frame kit fits most light trucks, SUVs, and UTVs with the specified 2-inch Class III front receiver, and the listing says it slides into the receiver in seconds. When work is done, it can slide out and roll away for storage. An electric actuator provides cab-side blade lifting, while a single lever and pin set the blade angle manually in three positions. UV-protected powder-coated steel adds a specified durability feature.

Skip it if you require powered blade angling; the Elite's electric actuator lifts the blade, but its three angle positions are set manually.

This fits a light-truck, SUV, or UTV owner with a 2-inch Class III front receiver who values roll-away storage and cab-side lifting. Its blade angles remain manually adjusted.

#6

6. Access SnowSport HD

Best for: Heated-cab utility plowing.

Why it ranks #6: The 84-inch aluminum utility plow can be operated from the truck or SUV, but aftermarket bumper compatibility is unconfirmed and may require modifications.

The 84-inch aluminum blade lets the ACCESS Snow Sport HD clear a broad path while you operate from a heated truck or SUV. Its utility-plow format targets owners who want to move snow without shoveling or using a snow blower, with the supplied description claiming clearing in less than half the time.

The aluminum blade and heavy-duty construction make this a straightforward utility-plow option for clearing snow from a truck or SUV. Operating from the heated vehicle keeps the work out of the cold, while the 84-inch width supports a broad pass. The fit caveat matters: the listing says most aftermarket bumpers are not compatible because they may share plow-frame mounting points. Owners with those bumpers should expect custom modifications may be required; compatibility is otherwise unconfirmed.

Skip it if you have an aftermarket bumper and need confirmed compatibility; the listing says fit is unconfirmed and custom modifications may be required.

A truck or SUV owner seeking utility-style snow clearing from a heated cab is the target buyer. The 84-inch aluminum blade is the key fit consideration, and aftermarket bumpers may need custom modifications.

#7

7. ACI SnowSport HD

• Weight: 75 lb

Best for: Simple, non-powered utility plowing.

Why it ranks #7: This 75-pound utility plow has a 3-point-position blade and no hydraulic or electric components; its listing gives fewer mounting details.

The ACI 80660 moves up to seven feet of snow in one pass, according to its supplied description, while avoiding hydraulics and electric components. That makes it a utility-plow option for buyers who prefer a simpler setup; its three-point-position blade and easy installation and removal support practical seasonal use.

With no hydraulics or electric components, the SnowSport HD avoids those powered systems, while the listed easy-to-install-and-remove setup supports taking it off when plowing is finished. The three-point-position blade gives the operator defined blade positions, and the description says it does not block headlights. A stated seven-foot pass can help clear a wider strip at once. The listing provides limited vehicle-mounting detail, so this information alone does not establish a specific hitch or vehicle fit.

Skip it if you need powered blade lifting or a specified receiver-hitch setup; neither is identified in this product's supplied details.

This is for a buyer seeking a utility plow with no hydraulic or electric components and removable installation. Its seven-foot pass is useful context, but the supplied details do not specify a vehicle mounting system.

#8

8. Oakestry 82-Inch Plow

• Weight: 265 lb

Best for: Wide steel blade for driveways.

Why it ranks #8: The 82-inch steel blade attaches to a 2-inch receiver and offers adjustable angles, but the supplied details do not identify a powered lift.

An 82-inch-wide, 19-inch-tall steel blade gives the Oakestry kit substantial coverage for large areas such as driveways and parking lots. It attaches to most SUVs and trucks through a 2-inch receiver hitch without a permanent mount, while adjustable blade angles let operators direct snow as they clear.

The 2-inch receiver attachment and no-permanent-mount format give truck and SUV owners a removable mounting approach. Its 82-inch alloy-steel blade is 19 inches tall, dimensions the listing connects with clearing large surfaces quickly. Adjustable angles let the operator position the plow for directional snow control, and the powder-coated, UV-resistant finish is specified to protect against rust, salt, and harsh winter wear. The kit weighs 265 pounds, so handling and storage should account for that listed weight.

Skip it if you need a lighter kit to handle; this one weighs 265 pounds, while the DK2 Elite AVAL8422ELT weighs 296 pounds—actually heavier, so not a lighter alternative.

Consider this for a truck or SUV owner clearing a driveway or parking lot who wants a removable receiver-mounted steel blade. Account for the 265-pound kit weight and the required 2-inch receiver.

#9

9. Meyer MPR24000 Home Plow

Best for: Meyer auto-angle plow buyers.

Why it ranks #9: The listing provides little usable fitment or operating detail beyond its dimensions, leaving less evidence to match it to a truck.

Auto-angle operation is the defining feature in the Meyer Products MPR24000 title, pointing to buyers seeking an automatically angling Home Plow rather than a basic fixed-angle blade. The supplied listing identifies it as a black Meyer plow, but gives little detail about mounting, controls, blade dimensions, or compatible vehicles.

The auto-angle designation is the clearest functional detail supplied for this Meyer Home Plow, so it is most relevant to shoppers prioritizing blade angling. The listing gives overall item dimensions of 85 by 48 by 31 inches, information that can help buyers consider where to store or stage the equipment. However, it does not explain the auto-angle mechanism or specify a vehicle mounting system. Those gaps limit what can be established about installation and compatibility from the supplied facts.

Skip it if you need a confirmed receiver-hitch setup or detailed vehicle compatibility; neither is specified in this product's supplied information.

This may suit a buyer specifically seeking a Meyer auto-angle Home Plow and who can establish fit from additional product details. The supplied listing does not identify its mount or compatible vehicle types.
