Superwinch Winch, 8,500-lb

Not much to say other than it pulls cable. Solid and dependable so far, no bells and whistles to go wrong. Excellent value, particularly while on sale.

Superwinch spends a fortune on promotion and sponsorships to get their brand name out there. They should put more money into their product. I bought this Superwinch a few years ago from the West Kelowna Can Tire. It replaced an old 1980s vintage Warn 8000. That old winch pulled and pulled and pulled my 7800 pound Excursion out of everything. The old winch burned out 3 alternators and the cooked the alternator wiring harness. But I always got out. It finally blew up on pulling the Excursion sideways in the snow at a dead end on a logging road. But it did get me out. I buried it in my back yard. The replacement 8500 Superwinch burned out on it's first pull of about 30 feet of a muddy hill. It was not a hard pull. I piled the winch and cable into a shopping cart and took it back to exchange it. I NEVER pull on a single cable with this winch but ALWAYS double the line on a block. I don't trust this winch. I've only pulled about 5-8 times with it and never feel good when the truck starts to bog. If you trust the Superwinch brand, buy a far greater capacity Superwinch than what you need. The 8500 might be good for a Wrangler or Suzuki. Anything bigger, go for 10,000 Superwinch. Or buy an 8000 Warn.

Purchased this winch on sale at C/T a few years ago. Perfect size for my Jeep TJ and has been very dependable so far.

I bought this on sale for my Jeep TJ and mounted it to my custom bumper. its pulled me out of many sticky situations.

alot of people have good an bad reviews on this product, i had one on my jeep an loved it, pulled me out of everything, it was well used an worked great and when its on sale you cant beat the price, put this winch through everything an it didn't die, highly recommend it
