I use to buy the cheap wenches , winches and found that they would let me down when I really needed them. The last two I've bought for race car trailers have been the Suoerwinch S 4500 I never planned on hauling a dress upped 4 whd one ton P.U.in my traler or on one of my trucks, until I was ask by a friend . My S4500 winch complained a little on pulling that 7500 Lb. rascal into the trailer but it did it without breaking or stopping Buy the best you can afford
