Hi Butch!

The Bulldog Winch Trailer Winch - Wireless Remote - Synthetic Rope - Hawse Fairlead - 12,000 lbs # BDW10040 can indeed be used on the front of a vehicle for recovery purposes. Something like the Bulldog Winch Hitch Mounted Winch Mounting Plate # BDW20011 can be installed in a front receiver hitch, but mounting on a permanent plate or bumper would also be perfectly fine.

What vehicle are you thinking about installing this on?

Lazer, I am installing it on a 2017 ford f350 diesel using an aftermarket bumper. I can get the winch for a great price, that's why I'm looking at it.

@ButchC Gotcha. Can't pass up a good deal on one of these, they are pretty expensive! Let me know if there is anything else I can help with! : )
