Pros
- Synthetic rope, hawse fairlead, snatch block and cover all come in the kit
- Speed Mount hitch adapter lets you move the winch between front and rear receivers
- Long 85 ft rope reaches far anchors
Cons
- Very slow at 2.3 ft/min with a full load, among the slowest 12,000 lb winches
- Draws up to 480 A, so it needs a strong battery and the engine running
- Costs as much as faster winches with longer warranties
