Best Towing Winches of 2025

"I was initially skeptical about this winch, but I’m incredibly pleased with its performance. It has handled 16,500 lbs without any issues, even on a 10-degree incline. The synthetic rope is a great feature, and it looks fantastic on my truck."

"After using this winch for a while, I can say it has exceeded my expectations. The remote control works flawlessly, and I’ve used it multiple times to pull my Jeep out of tricky situations. It has a solid build, and the synthetic rope is holding up well."

"I recently installed this winch on my GMC Savana, and it’s been powerful and reliable. The installation was straightforward, and it has managed to pull out almost every 4x4 I’ve rescued. The build quality is good, though I did notice the front bolts getting rusty."

“As an artist, I often work with heavy materials. I bought this winch for lifting projects in my shop and installations for clients. It lifted 425 pounds of cedar beams 12 feet high without issues. I appreciate its strong construction and the sturdy cable, but I wish it had a remote control for easier operation from the ground.”

“At 76 years old, moving railroad ties alone was tough. I used the PullzAll winch to build a retaining wall without damaging septic lines. It worked slowly, but I wasn't in a hurry, and the result was fantastic.”

“I bought this winch for a specific task of moving large lumber about 150 feet. With no friends available to help, I found this winch on Amazon and completed the job effortlessly. It was a great investment compared to rental costs.”

"I've been using this winch for a while now, and it works like a charm. When I got my tractor stuck in East Texas mud, it pulled it out in about 20 minutes solo. I can't recommend it enough!"

"I purchased this for my wife's car as an emergency tool. I haven't had to use it yet, but it seems to be a great value and is well constructed. I would definitely recommend it."

"I was really skeptical about this winch and considered pricier options. Ultimately, I chose this one for its price and simplicity. It performed excellently during two rescues, pulling both a sedan and a heavy van from a ditch without any damage. Highly recommended!"

"I found this winch to be a great deal for the price. Installation was straightforward, and it works well for my needs."

"After purchasing two heavy garden tractors, I needed something cost-effective. This winch was inexpensive and helped me easily pull them up the ramp!"

"While the winch seems solid, I noticed the wiring is quite short and it stopped working after a few uses."

"I did quite a bit of research on budget winches and decided to go with the Xbull. For the price, I can't beat this winch! The fit and finish are nice, and it came with quality hardware. Installation was very easy, and it works perfectly. I'm very happy with my purchase!"

"I compared a lot of winches before purchasing this one, and I must say, this is the best bang for my dollar. It's been working well, and I really appreciate the wireless controller feature."

"This winch really saved my butt and wallet. On a camping trip, my Jeep got stuck in a muddy puddle about 2 feet deep. Thanks to this winch, we got unstuck and returned home safely. Thank you, Xbull!"

"I’ve been pulling 16k spotters up on my beaver tail trailer, and this winch is doing a great job."

"Unfortunately, I’m returning this product. The performance was disappointing, and it couldn’t handle near 4000 lbs as advertised."

"I mounted it on my ATV, and overall, it was perfect and easy to install. Just wish the wiring was better labeled."

"I took this to a job site to install solar equipment. Hoisting solar panels 15' up was a breeze with this winch. The client was impressed with how effortlessly it performed the task, and being cordless made my company look cutting-edge. I brought both batteries but only needed one, which was a pleasant surprise. On a humid day, pushing a button was much easier than hand-cranking! One of the crew members even joked about 'stealing' my winch!"

"I bought this winch in 2016 with two batteries, and I mainly use it in my shop to lift my heavy zero-turn lawnmower for sharpening blades. It’s still going strong after all this time! However, I learned the hard way that I need to turn the power switch off when storing it. If I forget, the LED indicator drains the battery, which can be embarrassing when I try to use it and find it dead."

"I had specified this winch for a commercial fleet customer, and it worked perfectly. They loved it so much they used it beyond its intended application! I knew I needed one for personal use, and after using it several times, I absolutely love it! The portability and rechargeable batteries make it perfect for anyone who doesn’t want a permanently mounted winch."

"I bought this winch for occasional use. Wiring the controller first is advisable. I found the alignment of the control box bolts a bit off, but the wiring diagram was helpful. The interrupt switch was a nice surprise, and there was plenty of wiring cable for my Jeep Gladiator. My test run was quiet, and it worked perfectly both wired and wirelessly."

"This winch looks great and is priced well. Installation was straightforward, but I wish the manual included more than just electrical connection information. It’s strange that Rugcel doesn’t have a website for further guidance."

"I've used this winch several times. It performs well, though some holes didn't align perfectly during installation. Overall, I was able to get it together, and it functions as expected."

"I read reviews about it being broken, but mine works great. Just don't abuse it."

"This is a rather good winch for the price. I use it often and under load, and it hasn't failed me yet."

"I had to weld the bracket to fit my ATV. The winch functions, but the control box doesn't cut power, which drains my battery. I need to find a way to rewire it. I recommend finding a different winch."

"I was really impressed with the good pricing from Amazon. I chose the Warn 4000 winch over a similar Mile Marker model mainly for the plug and play remote, which works great. I installed it in my truck bed to help load larger adventure bikes, and it operates very well, although I would prefer a slightly slower pull speed."

"I bought this winch for my 2018 Teryx, and while it was a very tight fit, I managed to shim it up and use longer bolts. I learned my lesson with cheaper brands years ago, which is why I chose Warn. I’ve had good experiences with their products before and trust them over no-name brands."

"After replacing my old Warn winch, I found that this new one is working great so far. I didn't have to change any wiring or bolt holes, making the swap really easy. It's been a few weeks, and I'm very pleased with its performance."
