Most Popular Heavy Duty for 2019 Ford Explorer

Excellent winch. Beats the factory winch any day. Would highly recommend.

I just received my new winch. Free shipping and I am surprised how quickly it arrived and how easy it was to install!! This is the third time I have ordered from them, and they have just about everything one can need for their trailer, and they provide great service and technical information. This winch has no exposed springs and the lock mechanism is greatly improved and looks great!

Super beefy and after a years worth of use it still works as good as the day it was installed. I went a lot bigger then the factory winch on my trailer and I am glad I did. This thing drags my boat up without breaking a sweat.

I’m using two of these on a floating dock that fluctuates seasonally due to TVA water release during the winter. They hold plenty of cable & are heavy duty enough to move the dock as needed.

Works perfectly. I’m using the winch to lift a heavy (100 lb) cast iron effluent pump. The pump occasionally needs to have float switches replaced and the winch makes this job much easier.

Fantastic, well built, expected to see cheap socket welded onto the handle, nope, instead there was welded a quality 5/8" "PROTO" socket.. impressive! Just what I needed.

Installation was simple. I haven’t pulled the boat out yet with the new winch but it should be better than the 1600 lb one that was there.

This is the first boat trailer winch I've owned that I believe is heavy duty enough for my boat. My suggestion to anyone shopping for a boat winch is to buy one much larger than the ratings say. That being said, I love this winch and would highly recommend it.

Shopped around a lot before I bought this. My boat is heavy (7500 lb) and the wench I had struggled. I took a chance on this as it was rated for the weight. I used the Anderson style connectors and installed a breaker near the battery. Pulled new wire rated for the amp draw. I couldnt be happier! This thing is a beast! Has no prob pulling my boat and cant see that it struggles at all. Highly reccomend. Photo is during installation. I put a cover over it due to my anchor comes close when launching and didnt want it to hit.

Installed cables. 35A breaker is not insulated and required additional cable to connect to modern battery terminal - so had to buy an insulated breaker. On first use, the small gear on the motor drive shaft fell off because it was installed at the factory without a snap ring. Luckily I found it and fashioned a snap ring for temporary use to load the boat (see picture). Then learned the clutch was set excessively low - would not pull anything close to 1000 pounds. Manual says to not adjust clutch more than 20 degrees, but that would not pull as much as a 2000 lb ratchet strap. I see the other good reviews on this product, but clearly mine was built with some serious QC issues. Hard day on the boat ramp. Grateful for the help and patience of fellow boaters. I am beyond the 60 days to return this product since I bought and installed it over the winter to enjoy this boating season.

After two weeks of waiting this is how it arrived.If you going to use USPS to ship I will consider other retailers.

Excellent upgrade from the wimpy one which came with the trailer. Great for my lousy shallow ramp, back in such that the boat nests in the bunks and let the torque from this thing easily drag the boat up to the stop.

Upon inspection of winch, came in good shape, well packaged delivered to our customer, thank you

Fantastic winch for my Robalo R272. I previously bought a couple of 3,500-pound winches on Amazon, but they only lasted a few months before the teeth stripped—probably due to the single bracket design. This one, though, is built solid with multiple brackets and a much better gear ratio. Well worth spending a bit more for the peace of mind knowing my boat gets pulled up without a hitch

I purchased this Fulton (142418) XLT 2-Speed (2,600lbs) to replace the original Fulton XLT 1401(1,400 lbs) winch on my Sanger V230 boat trailer. Our winch was hit and the metal housing was bent, but still useable. Unfortunately, the strap got stuck in the gears because the metal housing no longer correctly guided the strap (which was getting old) and it started to tear. I researched several and due to possible mounting restrictions with others, I settled on this one. The installation wasn't difficult, but it would have been nice to have some sort of instructions for a starting point. I found an online video, but it didn't actually show the install. A little fumbling around and it was installed in about 30 minutes. This one is a bit bigger than the old one, but it fit with no problems or need to drill any additional holes (which I really wanted to avoid). The only negative I have with this winch is the strap release/wind lever on the bottom. When it is engaged to bring the strap in, the lever is almost fully retracted inside of the plastic housing. This may not be an issue for some...but I have long nails and getting that lever (especially if there is any tension on the strap) out isn't as easy as on my old one. Other than that, it's a great replacement product and we are happy with it thus far. The product arrived in time to save my daughter's 15th birthday weekend with her friends! Website had the information and pictures I needed to make my decision, and great customer service! Thank you!

Excellent winch, very very happy. Thanks for quick shipping and excellent customer service support!!

Five stars..purchased this winch to minimize effort to haul in my 18ft Fourwinns when the trailer angle/submergence makes for a tougher reloading. The two speeds allow for an easier retrieval when winching the boat onto the trailer. Literally cranking takes half the effort to retrieve my boat. The foot print of mounting on my existing winch stand was easy, required drilling a few extra holes to secure, but is solidly mounted using only 3 bolt/nuts. I also camouflaged painted the winch to offset the “new shiny” appearance against theft when trailer is parked at the marina’s.

Well at first i was a little concerned because the factory container box was mangled. The shipping box was fine. It seemed ok. Installed and seems to be fine
