2000lb,for ATV, with Steel Cable,ATV Winch with Wired Manual Remote Control Switch,with Mounting Plate,with Roller Fairlead&Hook

We ordered this 13500 lb winch to load a skid loader on the trailer when it’s icy, snowy, or just wet. Installation was a little difficult due to a lack of clarifying instructions, but once we figured that out, it worked like a charm! Loaded it 3 times today with no issues! Well worth the money and the shipping arrived exactly as needed.

Pulled a truck with it. Very impressed with how well it handled it. Held up great for how compact it is

Looks good on my wrangler. Was easy to install. I did direct to battery install since it is my daily driver so I don’t have to worry about any slow battery draw. Haven’t gotten stuck yet so can’t comment on if it will pull me out but did use it to move a large tree branch and it did the job with ease. Seems well built and I like that it has 2 wireless remotes plus the corded control if needed. I will update if I have to use it for recovery.

WORKS GREAT JUST NEEDS LONGER CONTROL LEADS,

I got the 13500 and have only had it for a week now and have got to use it 3 times so far. I am pulling trucks up on to a large tilt bed equipment trailer. These trucks are loaded with scrap iron and weigh up to 8000lbs loaded and this winch has absolutely no problem pulling them on the trailer. I'm with everyone else that you do have to wire up the winch when you get it and not sure why they just don't do it before sending it. Everything worked just fine on the install and wiring for me except for the 2 wireless remotes. The remotes did work but the buttons were backwards, as in was out and out was in. The wired controller worked just like was supposed to so I had to take the cover off the control box and switch 2 of the wireless control wires with each other. It was two of the wires right on top, I believe it was the white and yellow from the wireless control box that I swapped places with. If everything was put together before shipping they could test all of this. I'm happy with it so far and if something changes I will try to give a fallow up review.

I purchased this winch based on the number of other purchasers and 4.5 star rating. Boy was that a mistake! 6 monhs after I installed this unit on my car hauler trailer, with a grand total of 5 tugs, the winch gave up on me. I installed a new battery to verify that this was not an issue, had a solar charger on it the entire time, and even rigged the battery to be charging from the truck as it ran, and still nothing. Winch relays would click, but the motor would not kick on. I reach out to RUGCEL directly since thier products have a one year warrenty, explaned the situation, and sent photos of the un-abused winch. All I got back was that the wires appearded to be bad, and I would have to purchase thier new wire/relay/contol box. I asked why this was not covered under the warrenty, and all I get back was it just isint... I have since reached out to Amazon to see if we can rectify the situation, but have yet to hear of an agreeable outcome. SAVE YOURSELF THE HEADACK AND LOSS OF MONEY. Rugcel will not honnor thier own warrenty should you have an issue. I can share emails sent back and forth should anyone be interested. First photo is right after install, and the others are the ones sent to Rugcel that aparently told them I needed to buy thier new Wire/Relay/Controler kit.

Still working great

Why did you pick this product vs others?: It works great easy to install if you have a good mounting plat! You don’t a high end rough country mount, but make sure it does have a front plate!
