Video Transcript for Bulldog Winch Receiver Mount Kit Spec Review
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.

I'm off to overland in Texas and wanted you to know that the hitch and winch carrier are perfect. Using quick connectors, I can use ir on the front and rear.
Removing it also saves on gas.
It works great with a moulded number, saving on buying a specialized steel bumper and other expensive attachments.
I like that I can still have all the internal mud guards and brush cover without having to take them off and not be able to have them on.
Awesome!

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

I picked this winch from etrailer as it provided an incredible value at the time of purchase vs other option here and from other retailers. It ended up being way overkill for what I use it for, but I never have to worry about overloading it either. Went together well and mounted up like it should to the Bulldog receiver mount I got too (hitch plate welded/mounted on car hauler, winch is removable and not subject to road grim ever). Plan on years of service from this combination!

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.

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.

As usual, another great experience with etrailer. Shipped super quick. Love the handles, which are a must-have if you will be hitch mounting and dismounting a heavy portable winch a lot. Handles are also adjustable so allow for a lot of different winch sizes.

Came as described, packaging was beat up pretty bad but nothing wrong with the plate. Holds my Badlands winch no problem, this is a better solution to needing a winch other than spending [money] on a front bumper with a winch mount.

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.

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 !!!

- Hitch Mount Recommendation that Fits 12k Bulldog Winch # BDW10039Yes, the Bulldog Winch Mount part # BDW10039 does work with the Bulldog Winch part # BDW20155 that you also referenced. The mount fits winches with up to a 12k capacity and mounting dimensions of 10" by 4-1/2" which is exactly what the winch you mentioned has.

I would instead recommend using something like the Bulldog # BDW10044 which is recommended for recovery use with vehicles up to 5333-lbs GVWR. Since this winch does not come with a mounting plate, you'll want to use the Bulldog Winch Receiver Mounting...

We do carry a large range of winch mounting brackets and most winches have their own mounting plate built into them. Another question I have is what is the size of the square tube on your trailer? Depending on your trailer tube size you could use something like Buyers Products RV bumper receiver hitch part # 337RVA24 and use Bulldog Winch receiver mount kit part #...

We do have an option for you, but sadly there are no custom winch mounts available for the 2024 Ford Ranger Raptor. Out best option for this vehicle is a hitch mounted winch plate like the Bulldog Winch Receiver Mount Kit # BDW20155. This will install into the 2" receiver on the back (or front) of your Ranger and it will allow you to mount any winch that uses the standard 10x4.5" mounting bolt pattern. For that I recommend the Bulldog Winch Standard...

For a 2006 Dodge Ram 1500 we have two options both of which have a 9,000 lbs line pull capacity. Which one you need is going to depend on what cab your truck has. I have listed the options below: 2006 Ram 1500 Mega Cab - Curt Front Hitch item # C31017 2006 Ram 1500 Regular or Quad Cab - Curt Front Hitch item # 31320 will not fit the Sport models.

Depending on your configuration your curb weight is likely between 6,000-7,500lbs. Since you plan on using for a winch and mud will be involved I recommend the EcoHitch Hidden Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # EH59FR. It has a maximum line pull rating of 10,000lbs.

The set of cables are going to run from either battery to the rear of the truck. The kit then comes with a separate quick connect fitting that you will need to install on the wire leads for your winch. This will the allow you to easily connect and disconnect the winch from the truck and install...
view full answer... - Front Mount Hitch Recommendation for Adding Winch to 2021 Toyota TacomaI recommend going with the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # C31075 for your 2021 Toyota Tacoma because it will be easier to install and has the same line pull rating as the Draw-Tite # 65070. The only reason I would recommend the Draw-Tite over the Curt is if you are going to be pushing that 350 lb vertical load limit, but even then you'll need to ensure that your truck has that high of a weight rating in the front. I've attached a photo of the Curt hitch installed on a Tacoma...

- How To Use Front Mount Hitch and Bull Bar Together on a 2012 Toyota Tacoma 4x4The best fit front mount trailer hitch we have for your 2012 Toyota Tacoma 4x4 is the Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 65070. The reason that this is the best fit trailer hitch is because it allows you to retain the skid shield unlike the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 31313. Unfortunately, you will most likely need to remove your bull bar as it will mount in the same location as either front mount hitch. This is the case for most vehicles though so it's...

- Does Power Wiring on Badlands Apex 12000 Winch Need to be Stripped for Anderson ConnectorThe Bulldog Winch Receiver Mount Kit # BDW20155 has the standard 10 x 4.5" mounting bolt pattern which will match up exactly with your Badland Apex 12000. As for the wiring, you will need to route the wire from your 4Runner battery and mount the Anderson connector at the back of your truck and then strip the wiring on your winch to connect with the extra Anderson connector that comes in the Bulldog Winch Rear Wiring Kit # BDW20206. I definitely understand where you're coming from about...

This is a custom rust-resistant steel tray that will bolt to your truck's frame to accommodate the Bulldog Winch with pre-drilled mounting holes. All of the hardware is included. I have attached the written installation instructions that you can also check out. Another, less permanent solution is with the Bulldog Winch Receiver Mount Kit # BDW20155 that will...

There are winch mounts that fit in a receiver such as the Bulldog Winch Receiver Mount Kit # BDW20155 which are for 12,000 lb winches but you would be limited to the 9,000 lb capacity...

The AC powered winches though do not go up to 9,000 pounds and require 115 volt or 120 volt depending on the winch model. Your best option is to set your Ridgeline up with a DC winch and use the vehicle battery to power it. ComeUp winch # CU856333 is rated at 9,000 pounds. You could mount it to hitch receiver mount # BDW20155. And to wire it to the truck battery you can use...

I've seen folks use a receiver mount in conjunction with something like the # E-11 welded to a car trailer to provide a stable quick-disconnect mount, if that's what you have in mind for your Bulldog # BDW15020 winch. If you decide to do something along those lines, it's best to have a professional to handle that type of fabrication work, to ensure that...

Your only option for a grill guard is going to be the Westin # 40-1205 in black or # 45-1200 in chrome. These will fit no matter if your truck is a 1500/2500/3500, and are custom designed just for your truck. To add a winch you'd need to add a front mount...

Both receiver have the same 9,000lb line pull rating for using your winch and both will support a tongue weight of up to 500lbs which will allow you to use it for other things during the summer. Visually both receivers appear the same and have very similar construction. If you plan...
view full answer... - Front Hitch and Winch Plate for 2017 Ford F-250 for Mounting Winch at Front of TruckYour biggest issue is going to be that the grille guards and the front hitches occupy the same area and use the same install points on the frame of the vehicle so there's no easy way (if at all) to install both at the same time. If you aren't super attached to the grille guard idea I'd go with just a front hitch so you could use a removable winch plate like the # BDW20155 at both the front and the rear of the vehicle. The Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch # C31078 that you referenced is...

Keep in mind that using an extension will lower the capacity of the hitch to a degree, because of the extra leverage exerted especially if the winch is pulling at an angle. If the extension were to break under load, it could lead to injury.
