The intercooler is going to be an issue for fitting a winch on an ecoboost truck. You are referring to an F150 EB right? The title says F250, which of course isnt an ecoboost, and can fit tons of winches in it.

Fat fingered on the title. Yes a F150. The winch would fit in tray on brush guard. Instructions say to remove tow hooks and I might have to trim some plastic. Truck should be here any day, so I have not looked close at cooler area.

That's the one I'm looking at. I downloaded the F150 owners manual and I could not find anything about brushguard or winch restrictions, only plow restriction on EB models.

Gotcha, just be careful when blocking airflow to the intercooler.
