OEM engineers and product planners continue to embrace overland and backcountry 4WD travel. The newest Ford Tremor is a significant example of that trend, offering a factory full-size diesel truck with a locking differential, 35-inch tires, and a new Warn 12,000-pound winch.
Warn has long supported OEMs with winch and hub offerings, including the wildly popular Ram Power Wagon winch, and dealer-installed winches from Land Rover, Jeep, and others. Let’s hope the trend continues.

Ford Motor Company is offering an optional WARN® winch for its 2020 F-250 and F-350 Super Duty that will be available as a factory-orderable option or dealer-installed after-sale accessory. The announcement was made Nov. 5 at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas.

The new Ford Performance Parts Winch by WARN will be available as an orderable option on properly equipped Super Duty models beginning in mid 2020.
The 12,000 lb. (5443 kg) capacity winch is packaged behind the truck’s production front bumper, which is optimized for airflow and clearance.
