Ford offers winch designed into its Super Duty pickups' bumper
by Dave MowitzFord is now offering an electric winch designed into the bumpers of its 2020 F-Series Super Duty trucks. The winch is available as a factory-order option or dealer-installed after-sale accessory for both gas- and diesel-powered Super Duty Tremor pickups.
Developed with both crash safety and capability top of mind, the fully integrated winch is mounted behind the steel bumper, providing optimized airflow and clearance regardless of engine choice. The unit employs a high-tensile strength, abrasion-resistant synthetic cable and includes the only wireless remote control in its class along with a provision for wired remote control.
The 2020 Super Duty with available Tremor Off-Road Package has maximum towing of 15,000 pounds for conventional trailers and up to 21,900 pounds for gooseneck trailers with the available diesel. It also has up to 4,210 pounds maximum payload capacity with the all-new available 7.3-liter gas engine.
“We developed this unique winch in cooperation with Warn specifically to meet Built Ford Tough truck standards for our new F-Series Super Duty,” says Ron Meredith of Ford. “Having a winch specially designed to our Built Ford Tough standards gives our hard-working Super Duty customers yet another tool to extend this truck’s capabilities whether at work or on the trail.”
The Tremor Off-Road Package is available for XLT, Lariat, King Ranch, and Platinum F-250 and F-350 Super Duty trucks with available all-new 7.3-liter gas V-8 or third-generation 6.7-liter Power Stroke diesel V-8.
The Ford Performance Parts winch by Warn will be available starting in mid-2020 for $3,000 (suggested retail price).
