Doesn't everyone swear by Warn Winch?

Warn is all I have ever owned (none for a pickup, but for jeeps). I will only buy Warn.

There are some things I would never buy from Harbor Freight... this winch is one of them. Warn for me, and as soon as I get my Iron Bull bumper, I am putting a Warn synthetic behind it.

Awesome, my thoughts exactly. Cool thank you both.

I’ve only had Warn on my Jeeps. Over the years I’ve only had one motor go bad and that was because it sat in water for about 4 hours and water got in and rusted it so it wouldn’t move

Here’s what that ad tells me. Their winch spools faster and uses less power. What that means to me is that is has less planetary gear reduction, reducing its pulling power, and the motor is weaker. But they’re advertising their own cherry-picked facts to uninformed consumers hoping to capitalize on their ignorance. Sorry, not buying it.

We always ran MileMarker hydro winches . Quite a bit more expensive but definitely worth it.

Yeah, Milemarker is king of hydro. To me Warn is king of electric.

I sold my Warn 8274-50, I should never have gotten rid of that beauty...

I am going VR12000 on my truck when my bumpers come in. I don't have the cash for the Warn Zeon series.
