So getting ready to put a winch on my trailer, need to decide if I just mount it to the deck or put it on a receiver and make it removable.whats everyone’s thoughts and why?
 
Well theft is a thing. Are you setting it the rear of the K5 to take the same?

Easy enough to make it hitch mount later if you want
 
Is your trailer storage secure? Mounting the winch in a tongue box is another option and keeps it out of the weather.
 
I have mounted some in a tongue box. Pretty easy to do and keeps em out of the weather. Usually do a solar trickle charger on the top. Battery and winch all right there in a locked box
 
Mine is in a hitch reciever because I also use it in the shop to pull non running vehicles in. And I do not have to leave it outside.
