warn winch

Hi Just wanting to know what winch I should get for a f350, 12000, 15000, or the big daddy 16.5 .

Not really a self recovery winch for me. Just had one on the old truck and it comes in handy.

any thoughts

Hi, Go as big as you can afford. Bigger is always better when it comes to a winch. You stay out of trouble that way. Always have a margin for error. Erv

I agree with Ervin. Get as much as you can afford. Check out sportztrailers on ebay. Very good prices and free shipping w/buy-it-now

go with as big as you can afford and that does not mean just on the winch itself, you better make DARN sure your battery's/charging system is up to it. you had also make sure you have a nice stout bumper to hold the beast on, as well as know fully that it will hold as much as the winch can pull times 3.
