They were sold to a company in CA and they are not up and running yet. I purchased a S-5000 with the nylon rope and I am very pleased with it over the cable.

I know they're pricey, but WARN continues to be
the most used by offroad pros.

Warn are the best and I have used them forever on my Jeeps.


However, In my trailers last 10 years I have used Harbor Freight 12,000 Lb.
They are usually $399 but last week when I was shopping there...they were
on sale for $279.00 (often on sale) They do not get near the use in the trailers and I usually get 8 to 10 years out of them and when they wear out.....I just throw them out. They usually work longer than I keep my trailers since my son is in the trailer business and I trade mine in every three or four years.

we use a Warn 4 wheeler/ atv winch in our trailer, with the 16 ft cable. Works great for our 3160# Chevelle.



Either a VRX 25 or VRX 35. Can't remember. But the rolling resistance on any STK/SS car, in neutral with air in the tires, is not much. So don't let the 2500# number scare you.

I bought one from Harbor Freight at least 15 years ago. It has been the bet winch that I have owned. Just converted from cable to rope a couple of seasons ago and love it. I think it is about a 5000 lb rated winch. I had both Superwinch and Warn and neither lasted more than a couple of years. Just overpriced.

I put in a 4500 champion with wireless remote this year and it has worked really well so far. I got it from amazon. Just checked and they are on sale for $166. Has both wireless and normal switch.
