13,500 lb Recovery Winch with 1/2” Synthetic Rope,Dark-Gray

I received the winch very quickly and it was packaged very well. The instructions were understandable and easy to follow. It looks well made and not cheap. After hooking up the electrical connections I plugged in the wired remote and attached the clasp to the rope. I tested the in and out functions for a short distance and it worked well. I have not used it yet to winch any weight but as of now I am completely satisfied considering the price I paid.

I originally had a Badland 12,000 lb Winch and it lasted about two years. When I looked at replacing it, the price was around $600 for the synthetic rope and wireless setup—which just didn’t make sense to me. I took a chance on this winch instead for about half the price, and I’m glad I did. Install was easy (same bolt pattern, bolted right up), and it came with everything—synthetic rope, wireless remotes, and a wired remote. That’s a big win for the price. I’m hard on my equipment—I’m a junk car buyer and I’m winching 3–5 cars onto a trailer every day—so this thing actually gets used. One note: in my pictures, the fairlead (the guide in front of the rope) still says “Badland.” I haven’t swapped that part over yet—just the winch itself. So far, it’s been solid, pulls strong, and does exactly what I need it to do. For the money, this is a much better value. If you’re on the fence—don’t be. This one’s worth it.

Only used it once worked good remotes seem light duty and use specific batteries not included but are cheap enough and should be included so don't forget them

As advertised! I put one on my previous Toyota tundra last year. When I traded for a 2026 tundra, I ordered the same unit. I would recommend using the Toyota mounting plate instead of the aftermarket plate. Mine worked fine, but I had to do some modifications to make it fit properly. But the winch is awesome and hundreds less than a namebrand winch. I had my other one for almost a year and a half and I used it often especially pulling cut trees out of the woods when clearing small timber and undergrowth. I would highly recommend this unit as opposed to a namebrand like a Warn or other comparable unit.

Out of the box the winch looks great but once it was hooked up the motor pulsed and quickly killed the battery in my Jeep even when the Jeep was running. It melted the wires in a matter of seconds and had to quickly slice the cables to prevent the positive line from grounding on the Jeep. After replacing the cables it did the same thing as before. Not going to be keeping this as I'm not about to fry the electronics on a $35k Jeep.
