The invention is an extendable winch assembly, that include a winch, having a drum for winding and unwinding a line and a first motor for driving the drum about a winding axis. The assembly also includes a winch mount for mounting the winch to a vehicle, the winch mount. The winch mount includes a base attached to the vehicle and extendable arm attached at one end to the base, wherein the extendable arm is configured to move the winch from a retracted position proximate the vehicle to an extended position spaced from the vehicle. The winch mount also includes a plate attached at an other end of the extendable arm, wherein the winch is attached to the plate in such a way as to allow the winch to pivot about a pivot axis perpendicular to the winding axis.
