Speaker 1: Today, we're gonna take a look at the Bulldog winch hitch receiver mounting plate for 2" hitches. Now this will offer a portable mounting option for your winch. Your winch will basically mount onto this mounting plater, has the adjustable handle positions right here, make it very easy to transport your winch from different vehicles. It is designed to fit into any standard 2" by 2" hitch receiver. They do even include the hitch pin and clip to install it into your hitch receiver. Now this is used for truck winches up to 12,000 pound capacity that uses a standard 10 and 4 1/2" mounting bolt pattern.
You can see the bolt pattern they have on the mounting plate. Now one last note. The capacity on this is based on the capacity of your vehicle receiver and this also will not fit large body truck winches because those winches are too heavy for portable use, too large to fit onto this plate and it will not fit the alpha series because the frames on the alpha winches are too large to fit into this mount.You can see they do have the three different holes at the bottom so you can put the bolt through there just to adjust whatever position you need these handles in. But again, you just have your winch mounted on here. You can grab it by the handle, slide it into the hitch receiver and then when you're done, you can just pull it right out.
But that should do it for the review on the Bulldog winch hitch receiver mounting plate for 2" hitches.

The Bulldog Winch Receiver is a must-have. Fit my needs perfectly. Easy to use and makes using the Bulldog winch that much easier.
Works great with the hitch I ordered. Super company. No complaints and would order from them again.
I bought this for my Badlands ZXR12000 and it fit perfectly.
Came in 2 days after I placed my order. Packaged well and everything as it was advertised! Appears to be quality winch cradle at a great price.
Winch receiver mount is well made and works great with the Badland Apex winch.
Product arrived on time packaged well no damages because of my setup I have to get a extension to clear my current brush guard however was all put together when came out of the box but 4 bolts for the handles super easy to use holds my smittybilt 12k winch perfectly and fits nice in the receiver without a lot of wiggle very good product
Mike L - 03/21/2019Looks good and heavier than some
Quick service…. looks sturdy, maybe a little iffy for 12,000 pound winch. A snatch block will fix that load issue. The paint is already peeling on the corners. I previously ordered a Curtis Front tire carrier, different vender , however it will NOT fit a Dually TIRE. so planning on placing a spare tire on the platform and securing with ratchet straps.
Well Built. Much more substantial handles compared to the bent tubing on others. Love how the handles are adjustable to fit the winch. Easy to use.
Easy setup for my winch and it makes it easy to get mounted to my trailer hitch. A great product if you want to have a winch but don’t want a permanent mount.
Good concept, but extremely flimsy, as it relies only on the hitch receiver for stability. It definitely needs some additional parts to keep it from wiggling, bending and rocking when the winch (SmittyBuilt) is in use. I doubt that it could even pull my little Ridgeline out of a ditch without deforming or ripping apart, but I'm afraid to test it.
Very well made! Strong and stout, Don get the cheep one fellas, you or someone else may be depending on it. Haven't gotten my winch yet but when I do I will post pictures. As always, a great experience working with and purchasing from etrailer!
This cradle is light and compact and looks pretty sturdy. Since tow receivers are only rated for 5000# and my winch is rated for 9000#, I will run my winch cable through a snatch block and back to a hook on my tow receiver.
very well built for the price. works as advertised. no problems -easy to assemble
This fit my Badland 12k winch very well, it's very heavy duty and I don't worry about the ability to handle what I throw at it, not to forget the price was very reasonable thanks etrailer.
Totally pleased with mount. Much better quality than I thought I would get for the price !! Putting a 12,000 lbs winch on it, not worried about the mount at all. Once again etrailer delivers !!!
great product. The price is great and free shipping. Easy to put on and works as it should
Deana G - 12/18/2019Not much to say. Pretty simple idea. Bolt pattern lines up with a warn winch good. Fairly sturdy.
very happy with the winch and mount, instructions were easily understood and the finished product was all it was said to be. will continue to deal with this business as they are professionals.
