In order to mount a winch on the front of a 2017 Ram 2500 you'll need to start with a front mount trailer hitch for which I recommend the Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 65063. Then you can add the Curt Trailer Hitch Electric Winch Mount Plate part # C31010 along with a winch of your choosing. Please note, the line pull rating for the hitch is 9,000 lbs so that will be your limit. I have attached our winch options below as well.
