Has everyone given up on a clean hidden winch mount? I’m as interested as they come.
I gave up and installed a front hitch receiver. It would work with a light duty portable winch I guess.
The part was a bit over $118 and comes with specs for max pull (9K lb) and max angles to pull at. Don't have a winch to try on it, but in the meantime have fun telling people I can now push one trailer down the road from the front while pulling another from the rear.

Looking closer at the above dually with the hidden winch, it appears the bumper is pulled out and the flares seem to hide that nicely on the sides.
I measured how much depth between the stock bumper and intercooler and it's about 7 3/4". So far after a quick search Smittybilt has a 7.5" deep winch part #97517. Still need more room for a bracket. The 5-6" Warn hideaway is excessive. I'd prefer Warn but you can reposition the solenoid on the Smittybilt.
Anyway, I have a call into a highly recommended metal fab company and will post an update.
I am interested in the hidden winch mount. Don't care for the Warn system - looks like a fire truck bumper.
I've got the F350 DRW w adaptive cruse. I REALLY like the black 450 bumper look posted early on page 1
I’m in for one. I’m hoping the tremor set up will get the ball rolling to how they laid the winch out or so I get a hold of enough pictures I can copy it and make one myself. 3,000 seems a little steep for a 12k hidden winch set up from ford
Im interested in this too, any luck? And price point

I am not sure if he has mounted a mid-size or full-size frame winch but I inquired about that as well in our follow up email.
For now, maybe I should create a list of those that would be interested in purchasing one should he be able to make them for a reasonable price.
I just picked up a F250 crew cab 2020. I have been tracking the Tremor to see if I can order the fully hidden winch mount. It does not relocate the front bumper. I have a new Warn Zeon 12K-S Platinum. Warn has told me that they have a contract with ford and can not discus it with me. Working with a manager at ford to get warn to release the part number. Hope this works.
Here is the install instructions for my winch, its full size. The one I ordered has no lever for the clutch release it's all Bluetooth. which will help in access on the front of the bumper.
