no..........

 

i dont think a winch has ever been a factory option

 

i didnt think so either but when i looked up the nada price on this thing it let me pick a winch as an option and this 04 burban i'm looking at sure does have a winch hidden behind the factory bumper with roller fairleads on the bumper face.

 

I've had 5 subs/tas in the last 15 years, three of them 2500's. I've been carefully perusing the factory options lists for quite a number of years now, I do not recall ever see a winch option listed. I do recall seeing a factory option for rigging a snow plow to the front of a 2500.

That's an easy to buy kit for quite a few different trucks/suv's. Or the PO might have custom installed it that way themselves.... One of my past supervisors did just that to his truck.....

i actually own an 02 2500 avalanche that has the snow plow package. if my memory serves me correctly it consisted of a higher amp alternator, heavier radiator, and heavier front springs.
