Frequently asked questions
What size winch do I need?
A common rule is to pick a winch rated around 1.5 times your vehicle's weight, but trail conditions and use matter too. A pro can help you size it.
Can a winch be mounted on any bumper?
No — it needs a winch-compatible bumper or mounting plate rated for the load, which is part of a safe installation.
