Thanks for posting this, looks like a pretty solid deal. Is it easy enough to install yourself? Any reason why it wouldn’t get the job done when needed?

I might think the $340 install might be worth it.
Even though I'm pretty handy with tools, everything always turns into a big ol' hassle.

There are better options out there, than fords silly bracket/winch plate., that allow you to integrate your parking sensors and relocate your forward camera. IAG has a solution for 500.00, that is compatible with both the modular and (with very minor plastic modification) the capable bumpers. OEM is good for many things, but Ford needs to step their game up here.
In my experience, the Ford mounting setup is far more robust than any of the other options out there. There have been several threads on this forum where folks have had their frame horns bent due to how the winch was mounted. Also, parking sensor relocation on the Ford setup is easy to do, and mountains2metal makes a camera relocation kit that works perfectly. I wouldn’t pass on this setup at this price point for another option.

Now I’m a little more curious. About the parking sensor situation. Have you seen any threads on how this thing can be modified? The winch deal is definitely worth it by itself though

Thanks for the heads up!

I have been debating when or if to get a winch and how to mount it. I've been thinking one of these would fit my needs but didn't want to spend $2k so soon after the new vehicle but with the ford points I got this down to $563 which is in the price category of a Harbor Freight winch without a mount!

Any bright ideas on how to bypass paying sales tax?
if you have pass points, you can push it down a bit. looks like the final sale price is what gets taxed.

@Ford Motor Company it sure would be really cool if people had a means of buying these parts.

Add Alaska to that list. No tax, but no availability of any Ford parts either.

From the listing:
The Ford Performance by WARN Bronco Winch Kit includes:
  • Required bracketry and hardware
  • Front License Plate Bracket
It's got me considering it.
Bolded the only two things that aren't included with the winch and those two bullets are a stretch to depend on given Ford's track record. The fact that it's the correct part number for the whole kit means more to me. If I could I'd probably pick it up and sell the winch mount.

If I recall correctly, I believe there is some programing involved with the crash system (?). Ragnar????

Can someone confirm Raptor compatibility?

The product listing doesn’t exclude it however, it doesn’t confirm either.

This concerns me. I'm not thinking abut the great price as much as I'm wondering why Ford is dumping them at/near cost. Has the Everglades been cancelled for MY2025? (Arguably one of the best trim levels) Has the quality Warn winch been replaced by a lower cost/quality unit?
What's the reason for this?
I would think the Everglades is short-lived in the line-up. Any of these "special editions" were only to be available for a limited time before being discontinued. Everglades has enjoyed a longer life than expected. It was bumped up in it's release when the Heritage was delayed yet again at the time due to the modular HT. Originally, the HE was slated for MY'22 and the Everglades for MY'23.

At the time, the Everglades had what was called the "MID+" package [12" screen without 360 cameras]. Now, every trim gets the 12" screen as the 8" screen has been discontinued. Every trim gets the washout interior though the Everglades still enjoys the inverse pattern than the standard gray MGV. The wheels are no longer unique as they are the standard Sasquatch wheels now. With the discounted price on the Warn winch listed, it is likely an effort to move excess inventory.

Other than the snorkel, extended diff. breather lines, and sticker badging, there isn't much left for the Everglades to be considered a "special edition". I wouldn't be surprised to see it discontinued.
