For a car that rolls all you need is 2500-3500 lb, used them on several open and enclosed trailers. Harbor Freight has one with a wireless remote right now for $79.99
The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.

A little bigger is better than tiny bit to small I have used a 3500 Lb, 2500 Lb amd now have a 4500 lb Superwinch in my car trailer hauling 3100 to 3800 lb race cars, I was ask by a former boss to haul his 1967 Ford 3/4 ton 2 whd drive truck to his home, I had to double the 3500 lb winch line to get it into my trailer The 2500 lb winch would struggle coming up over the center of the dove tail with my 3100 lb Duster on a single line. The 4500 lb would drag it up the loading ramp single line with the tranny in park The rear wheels where in the dirt and the car was going sideways before I realized that it was still in park Even then that winch pulled it that way without struggling

I picked up a 4500 lb Superwinch for a great price on Amazon after reading a post on Yellowbullet. In the same post someone asked about setting them up for remote control and lots of member had the one in the link I posted so I ordered one and wired it in last year. It works GREAT and is very reasonably priced

Link did not work so copy and paste this in ebay motors.

Thanks. I was kinda shocked at how well these worked for the price. I don't use my winch to load the car very often but when I do these come in very handy.

I've winch all my race cars in and out of the trailer for 20 + yrs. now I ain't getting any younger or smaller AKA, I have met fellow racers up here that drove thier cars into thier enclosed trailer and then had to crawl out the winodows or doors, one has a escape door so it is easier to get into and out of than the other one is. The other guy my age with no escape door in his trailer ended up buying a winch after watching my deal

I guess I have myself and friends with cars that don't roll well (multiple flats, etc.). I always seem to end up helping someone tow some dead car out of the mud somewhere on 2-4 flat tires. I guess I'm a sucker for that dead car parked out back. I would always double what I needed and would get something in the 6-7000 lb. range. I currently have a 12,000 lb. winch. Going to configure my trailer so I can mount it as a hitch mount so I can move it around.
