Winch Mounting Plate for 2 Hitch Receiver to Fit Warn M12000 Winch
Question:
Will any of the winch cradles accommodate a Warn M12000?
asked by: Chris
Expert Reply:
From what I was able to find, the Warn M12000 winch is 24.37" L. x 8.45" D. x 11" H. I've attached a picture with the dimensions on the Bulldog Winch Hitch Mounted Winch Plate # BDW20011 but since the mounting cradle is only 8-5/16" wide (8.31") your Warn winch is going to be just a bit too large for this cradle.
Since Warn winches are traditionally a bit larger than Bulldogs, I'd recommend using a winch plate like the Curt Electric Winch Mount Plate # C31010. This is also a hitch mounted winch plate that will allow you to bolt your winch on for security and stability, but since it doesn't have rails on it, you're going to be able to fit your Warn winch on there nicely. The mounting plate on the Curt is 13" long and 8-1/4" wide, so the overhang will be minimal on the front and back and the plate will support the bottom of your winch fully, with only the motor drum hanging over the sides. This mounting plate mounts in the 2" receiver on your 2017 Ram 2500 truck in the same manner as the Bulldog plate does.
I've attached a video that shows a bit more about the Curt Electric Winch Mounting Plate.
