Default MileMarker EcoBoost winch mount experience?

Does anyone have any experience with this Mile Marker winch mount? It looks like it should work with an EcoBoost.

says 09-10 f150, and headlight guards not included. Plus thats a super duty in the pic, so idk if itll quite work.
That being said, Westin and Go Rhino both make cheaper guards. Whether or not theyll work for an EB i dont know, but i was going to buy a full brush guard and ended up not and those were the two i was interested in buying.

lambo2936: "09-10" good catch. I googled the model number on the MileMarker site that's for "09-13" and this is one of the pages I found. I thought this page would be a lot easier for people to see what I was talking about because the MileMarker website is not very user friendly. I also notice the Cabela's page says "Go Industries" instead of MileMarker.

I've made an extensive search for winch mounts for a 2012 F150 EcoBoost. Go Rhino and Westin don't have them. Warn and Mile Marker have ones that bolt on in front of the Ford bumper (as shown on the Cabela's webpage). There are very few replacement-bumpers with winch mounts that work with the EcoBoost. Trail Ready is one of the few, but it's heavy and expensive...

You could get a Full-Race IC and that will open up your bumper and winch options. I'm not sure I'd have much faith in a Go Industries winch mount. Some of their stuff is kinda cheesy.

The Full-Race IC would indeed open up the bumper space, but it costs $1,100, and I'd still have to add money for the winch mount. If I'm getting into that price range I think I'd prefer to get an entire offroad bumper, that's EcoBoost compatible and has the winch mount built in, for about $1,800 from TrailReady or RoadWarrior.
