Does anyone know of a winch mount for a 2019 with the 2.7L engine? I can't block the inter cooler for the turbo which is just below the radiator. I don't want to replace the bumper with a huge ugly aftermarket thing. Can I move the inter cooler? Any help would be appreciated.

 

If I got a winch I’d swap the tow points for receivers and that way I could use a recover mount and also have a long cable for a rear use as well. I wouldn’t want a permanent winch on the front of a 1/2 ton unless it’s was continuously use where I could get stuck.

 

That's a great idea! I might leave 1 hook so I can double back my cable to increase my winch capacity. I already have the ****** block and chain to do that.
I did have it mounted on my 2013 F150 after installing a 2" leveling kit. It worked great.
But your idea is much simpler. Thanks
BTW YES I do go places where I need a winch, it saved me and my buddies several times!

 

I meant all the time as in like farming or forest work. Making it removable and only mounting it when needed makes more sense to me. A winch isn’t going to last as long if it’s exposed to the elements. It’s also a really heave item on the very front of a truck with rather light suspension.

 

swarfworks makes a winch mount to use with your stock bumper. regarding your IC, a few companies make intercooler relocation kits but they are pretty pricey. It would move your IC up to your grill area which probably provides better protection and better air flow. but again, pretty pricey.

 

Full race, SVC offroad, mishimoto, addictive desert designs all make IC relocation kits.
