The Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # C31083 and Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # 65067 are currently the only 2 front mount receivers that are custom fit for your 2015 Ford F-150 XLT.
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 on using the receiver to move a trailer the Curt receiver is rated to move a trailer up to 5,000lbs with a tongue weight under 500lbs. For this reason I would recommend the Curt receiver over the Draw-Tite receiver.
The Bulldog Winch Receiver Mount Kit # BDW20155 is a great mount for your winch. It has handles which make inserting the winch easier along with giving added protection to the winch. It comes pre drilled to be able to attach most winches.
Be sure to get a good cover like the Bulldog Winch Neoprene Cover # BDW20190 to protect the winch from snow, ice and road salt.
