Say after delivery... (in the near future)... and I wanted to add say, towing capability, or the winch. Can that be done? I am just not certain how much i want to add on at the beginning, if it's possible to add it on later.

Yes, certainly... BUT, hopefully in your initial build you upgraded to the "Front Bumper - Heavy Duty Modular" from the stock bumper... I don't think the stock bumper will support mounting a winch. So, you will have to address that first...

As to towing... from what I've found out is the offered Tow Pkg by Ford is a Class II tow rig... limiting you some, I held off and will add a more robust tow receiver down the road.

Just my 2 cents here.

Yep, as @RAVNLYF said, sure can. You can add a hitch, swap bumper and add winch mount, whatever you want. It'll cost a little money, up front when you order, or later, but anything is possible.

Exactly, although the Black Diamond, Badlands and FE have the heavy duty modular bumper stock. All other trims will need the front bumper upgraded.

Thanks! I am trying to keep my Badlands reasonable. I'll probably add winch and tow later. Appreciate the advice!

Reasonable? Now why would go and do a silly thing like that?! :)

not a dumb question but no-one knows 100%, sadly, what the aftermarket will bring. I am confident that there will be solutions though.

Now that you have your answer, I'd recommend getting towing with your order and holding off on the winch

Yes that way you are sure you have the wiring back there. I am planning to upgrade from the class II to at least a class III once I get mine. Want the same receiver as I have on my Suburban and F250.
