They said for V8 ONLY But I mounted a Hidden winch mount on my V6 Ford F-150
I mounted a Hidden winch mount on my V6 Ford F-150 with a 12500 pound winch
For reference only I’m not a professional. Have this installed by a technician.

The flip up license plate bracket was smart
Thanks for the detailed video. Will help out a lot when i get the time to install my own.

Thanks for watching. Hopefully it’s helpful
The reason why they say for V8 only is because of the aux coolers for the turbo. It needs a lot of airflow. That is why the license plate bracket is on the bumper and not center, and that only takes up minimal room. May have issues in the long run couple years from now, not just a year, but longer. Should be fine though, but they put the intercooler there for the airflow it requires.

Question - The ACDK winch you installed is $439. Im thinking of going with the 13kLB Vevor Winch thats $278. Question i like to ask you is will the height (11.8" T x 20.9" L) of the Vevor winch still fit in that space? Oh mine is a 2017 F150 V8. BTW i loved ur video of it.
Nice set up!

Can you reach the winch clutch handle? It appears to be on the top of the winch on the driver's side. Any winch clearance issues?
@F150ownershipguy
3 жыл бұрын
I can reach under with little problem (yet) the handle is behind on the drivers side. I plan on putting skid plates which will close that access. I plan on coming up with a secondary access point or lever. For now I’ve been leaving the clutch engaged. Stay tuned for videos of me using it and hopefully coming up with a better access solution.

I would've taken the cover plate out drill out the 3 holes in the center and put it back. cutting the bumper chrome wouldn't look good IMO.
Did you have to cut away some of the bumper mount flanges? I have a 2018 F150, and read one guy had to trim to fit the HF Apex
3.3 L V6? I stopped once I heard that cause it's the Ecoboost that's the problem cause of intercooler.
Did you have to cut away a little bit of the bumper flange mounts to fit the HF Apex??

Unfortunately the winch is mounted where the intercooler is located on the turbo trucks. I have seen someone relocate the intercooler to mount this but not something I’d want to do for various reasons.
Did you need to add a remote wiring extension to have the 3 pin winch controller receiver mounted at the front?

Have the turbos held up in the long run? I’m thinking of doing the same thing but worried about airflow to the intercooler.

It's not an Ecoboost motor......no turbos or intercooler. You would absolutely have to relocate the intercooler on an Ecoboost motor.

@@F150ownershipguy good video. I’m assuming when Ford says v8 only, it’s in regard to the electrical system. I just ordered a 2022 f350 and they made me upgrade to the 397 amp alternator for the warn winch package. How’s your electrical dip? You can always add a second batter if needed. Very easy to add a second battery. I added one on my 2020 Sierra 3500 and no power issues at all.

@@F150ownershipguy winches are high amperage drawers, you may experience lights dimming or even a close engine stall while under load if your winching something heavy. I’m sure your factory alternator will do, but you’ll shorten the life span drastically unless it rated to put out the amps required for the winch. Is even safe guard more and add a second batter for it to draw from before it draws of the main charging system.
