How to Pick Winch Capacity for Recovery Winch on Truck  

I have a 2013 ram 2500 crew cab with the cummins, just recently got the warn front winch mount. I know size wise it will fit on the mount, my only worry is that this winch wont be strong enough to pull the truck out when needed. I would say there would be a max use of 10 times a year, so an entry level would be all I need. Would you say a 11,500# winch is strong enough to recover a 3/4 ton truck that is buried to the frame? Attached picture shows mount from site. unfortunately, the 13,500# winch is an inch too deep to fit the mount, as it must be less than 7
