  • Great for the price.
Style: Winch
Install was pretty easy. It took me about 2 hours on an 09 F-150 including the hidden mount. The winch works great on everything I've used it for so far. Moved fallen trees without a problem and has kept myself and some friends from being stranded on the trails. My only complaint is the lack of a wireless controller option. I have tried a few "universal" controllers without success. The lack of the wireless isn't affecting my overall review. This is a very good winch and priced right. R/C time for that wireless control. It's about safety. ... show more

  • Great Option
Style: Winch
I was shopping for a winch for my Wrangler. I narrowed it down between this one and a different brand that was 9500lb. They were the same price so I went with this model because it's 12,000lbs. I have other Rough Country products and have never been disappointed. This is a quality winch. Install was easy and it's more than powerful enough for my needs. There are other models out there that cost a ton more but this was the perfect balance between cost and efficiency for me. Only negative is it doesn't come with a wireless remote. Not a huge deal for me as I've been just fine without one over the years. In many applications, you're better off removing the bumper and installing this on the bumper and reinstalling them as a unit. I recommended this winch 100% ... show more

  • Worked as advertised, check connections
Style: Winch
The media could not be loaded. Came fully assembled and was a cinch to install. However one prewired connection had a loose nut. Tightened up and good to go. After one trip out the controller is starting to stick in the winch in position but might just need cleaning from mud. Don’t know full power capability yet, but so far so good. ... show more

I thought I would get an affordable option with a TYT 13,000 lb winch, and nearly caught my truck on fire due to a manufacturer error internally on their power box… I finally spent the extra $100 on the rough country and absolutely love it. It’s so easy to install, instructions are very clear, and this thing pulls like a beast. Thankfully to have spent the extra money on a well known and reputable brand as RC is. This will not leave you stranded or upset. ... show more
