I know this topic has been discussed in other threads, but I haven't seen anything related to a hidden winch mount for a 2015 model. I love the Rough Country "hidden" mount that goes behind the factory bumper and want to achieve the same thing on my 2015 Platinum. However, I have gotten no answers from Rough Country about when they might have a 2015 mount available. Best I got was a vague, "probably about six months..."


So, I'm wondering if anyone has seen another option from someone besides Rough Country? Or if anyone has any suggestions. Next few months is when I will potentially need a winch the most, so I am ready to pull the trigger on something, if it is just a front mount receiver hitch, which does add some versatility, just doesn't look as clean.


Any thoughts?

 

I think Super Duty Headuarters has one in the works. Check out their imstagram or give them a call.

 

Thanks BB&G! You were exactly right. I made contact today and was very excited about placing my order even though it was considerably more than I had planned. I went from very excited to very disappointed in a matter of minutes. 10 minutes after pulling the trigger, a lady called and said they had made a mistake. To get the winch and mount I had ordered would cost me $200 more! This is AFTER I had placed the order and my credit card had been processed! I really don't think it was an intentional bait and switch, but I was not willing to pay for their error, so I accepted a refund. I might yet change my mind, but it's left me with a bad feeling about doing business with SDHQ! But thanks for finding the mount I was looking for!

 

They are local to me and are known to be proud of their stuff. I go there for misc stuff for my buggy, but nothing else. My codriver went there to get a piece of tubing bent; they wanted $75 and a few days to get it done. He went to Shannon Campbell's shop and he did it in 5min for FREE!

 

I've never worked in retail, and don't want to, but it was an unusual experience. I have no problem with them making a profit, especially on a fabricated product I couldn't get elsewhere. But when they discovered their "error" I was surprised that they wanted me to eat it! I'll just keep my eye out and maybe someone else will put a mount together! Thanks agin for your help!

 

Is anybody aware of any other hidden winch mounts? I checked out the one from Super Duty Headquarters, and it's basically just what I'm looking for, but im not too excited about the price. I figure I could get something manufactured and support local guys for the same or less.
Still, it would be so much easier if I could get something similar from another manufacturer.

 

How much was it? And what winch are you getting

 

$429 for just the mount plus another $70 for the control relocation kit. I expect there might be shipping on top of that. Once I add in the exchange rate to CAD I'm in the ballpark of $600 for a mount.
I'm probably going to add something fairly basic for a winch like a Warn vr8000 or t-max outback. I honestly haven't researched or decided exactly what I need at this point, but reallistically I'll be pulling my wife's car out of the snowbank.

 

Yea that is way too much. SDHQ is a good shop but they are notorious for charging insane amounts.

 

Has anyone found one for an Ecoboost?
