Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Winch is waterproof which is a big plus over competitors. More compact than the comparable warm winch. Easy to install and looks nice.

The instructions have some important tips that make them important to read. The directions are great. All around great winch.



Cons

The winch itself works, but the quick release tab on the remote jack was broken and i could not remove the remote. Armor is cheap and arrived cracked. This product is made extremely cheap and falsely advertises the weight capacity.

The remote is easy to use, nice features with built in light, magnet mount, and indicators for temperature, load and direction.


Perhaps that is due to the fact that smitty now knows this is a design defect


Winched cars trucks and even heavy things that don't roll.

Price


Msrp was high, hit a sale its worth the $ otherwise at over $680 would have looked at an apex.


Not a bad winch for the money.

Packaging/appearance


I went through the packaging a dozen times looking for them, but they just weren't there.


Speaking of box , it look like someone beat the crap out of my package.


Haven’t used it yet, but looks great!

Competitiveness


Will say minus a point for no stickers in the box, half the reason to buy name brand items.


The xrc logo has been changed out to the sb logo that lights up.


Winch is waterproof which is a big plus over competitors.


I prefer the features, durability and price point over other brands.
