If you have a Chevrolet Silverado ZR2 Bison or GMC Sierra AT4X AEV Edition pickup, you can now easily install a winch in your stamped AEV front bumper.
For any off-road truck enthusiast worth their salt, installing a winch is pretty much a no-brainer. Sure, the obvious advantage is being able to yank yourself or your buddies out when you inevitably get stuck in deep mud, loose sand, or piled-up snow. But it’s about more than that. Having a winch means you’re committed to pushing your rig to its limits, exploring untamed backcountry paths that most people wouldn’t dare tread. It’s a physical embodiment of that self-reliant, adventure-seeking spirit that lies at the heart of off-roading culture.
And it’s not just about getting yourself out of a sticky situation either. When you’ve got that winch mounted up front, it’s like a badge of honor – a symbol that you’re always ready to lend a hand and pull a fellow off-roader’s bacon out of the fire. For anyone who lives and breathes getting their truck dirty on the trails, a winch is just one of those must-have upgrades. It enhances your capabilities, lets you explore farther, and represents that you’re part of a tight community that watches each other’s backs.
And now AEV is offering that badge of honor to everyone who drives the Silverado ZR2 Bison and Sierra AT4X AEV Edition trucks. Two new kits, available from American Expedition Vehicles (AEV) are compatible with both 1500 and HD models, so long as they have the factory AEV supplied steel front bumper that comes standard on ZR2 Bison and AT4X AEV edition pickups- you’re good to start installing.
The kits do not include the winch but fit the Chevrolet Performance and GMC Accessories ComeUp Winch options designed for Silverado/Sierra full-size trucks.
You can order the winches directly from your Chevrolet/GMC Dealer and these winch installation kits from AEV or your dealership.
