Expert Reply:
For hauling cars with your 20-foot aluminum car trailer for loading cars up to 4,500 pounds, I recommend the Bulldog Winch Standard Series Off-Road Winch - 8,000 lbs # BDW10041. Not only has a rated line pull of 8,000 pounds (5,333 pounds for vehicle recovery), it also includes 100 feet of cable. This length will easily allow you to attach the winch in a strategic location in the trailer for pulling the vehicles.
