Well, Where there is a will there is a way my brother, if a Warn winch is what you want I'm pretty sure we can make it happen come on down to LA one of these weekends I'll help you install it...
nothing an elevator man couldn't do... what winch model are you're looking at? What do you think prevents it from installation?
If you're talking about this Warn VR Evo 12k winch, fuck yeah it will fit! I don't see why it wouldn't... Like I said in the post above if you don't mind taking a drive down here I'll help you install it...

Still so expensive compared to the alternatives... I'm going to take my chances
I know this thread has gotten long, but I believe somebody posted the Evo VR12 bolted up to the RC mount and installed without issues.
I just bit the bullet and ordered the new fairlead bracket from Warn and stripped the factory winch off my 2022 yesterday in anticipation of my 2025 showing up next month. I was surprised with how smoothly it went. Just bolted the old fairlead bracket back in place so the adaptive cruise sensor still had a place to mount.
I now have an unopened RC kit gathering dust in my hallway. First world problems, I guess.

Did you hook the winch controller up with the upfitter switch aux 1? That's what it seems like on the 1st picture. If so, which cable is that connected to on the winch controller?
Looking to order a 2025 F350 with the 6.7HO and Ford says can’t get factory winch option with that engine
Really?? What's changed so drastically?
Huh? Is it a dealer telling you this? I ordered a 2025 Tremor, which requires the HO, in February and the factory winch was DEFINITELY an available option for me to check.
I actually configured several different Tremor builds, one with Pro-Power and one without as selecting the winch does require the dual alternators, but the configurator let me complete the build with a winch in both cases.
Ultimately, I just ordered the updated fairlead bracket from Warn and yanked my existing winch off of my 2022, but I didn't see any issues ordering a new one as recently as late February.
This was my dealer. Said had something to do with cooling system. I really want that option so I’m going to see another dealer and see what’s going on.
If you need different wires one source is https://www.batterycablesusa.com/ they will make cables to the lengths you want with whatever connections you want, if you don't want to invest in the tools to install lugs.
Just order the mount alone and then the winch, they sell the mount separate from a kit.
I don't anybody on this thread had yet but from the looks of it, I think it does fit find the prints with the dimensional specs that should tell you there if it fits or not....
Yes, I am hooked up to aux #1 in the upfitter switch... what you want to connect to your winch controller box (depending on what winch you're using) is the accessory wire or maybe they call it remote wire it all depends how that winch controller is set up... what winch are you using?
I plan to do the exact same setup you did. Rough Country 13000-Lb Pro Series Winch with the hidden RC winch mount. I just can't figure out how to wire it to the upfitter switch.
Simple just one wire brother, the wire that comes out of the box label "to acc" that wire you will take it to you upfitter wire under the fuse box for the same upfitter switches, in my case #1 was the brown/green wire i suppose is the same for you... the big power wires go to positive on the baterry and the other one to negative on the battery and that is it but you do need to extend those wires (power wires) and the ones from the solenoid box to the actual winch... i think I also extended that "to acc" wire as it didn't quite reach where the harness for the upfitter switches is... if you need anymore help DM me
Thank you Oscar for your help and paving the way for us! I just ordered a new Rough Country 13000lbs Pro winch from ebay. I put it in my cart, left it in there and eventually got an offer from the seller. I also used a $25 coupon from eBay and it ended up being $592.45 + tax. I used another ebay coupon for the RC hidden winch mount that was $189 + tax. So I paid ~$780+tax for both. Not bad.
Good stuff
that's a hell of a deal! I paid a little more for mine but I didn't have any discounts but even then I'm super happy with the set upI got the winch installed yesterday. I just followed Oscar_iuec18 's instructions. If you go with the 13000lbs winch, you're going to have to redo the wires from the winch to the control box (they're not long enough) and also drill two holes on the mounting plate of the control box (and use your own bolts/nuts) to be able to mount to the bracket, because the holes on the bracket don't align with the mounting points of the controller box on the 13000lbs winch.
