How Large of a Winch Do You Need?
Choosing the right winches for your needs may seem complex, but it's actually quite simple. 2 pieces of information are required:
Vehicle Weight
To calculate your vehicle's Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW), start with your vehicle's curb weight, then add the weight of the supplies and equipment you'll typically be carrying.
Line Pull
The rated line pull of the winch must be high enough to pull your vehicle's GVW while overcoming resistance encountered when you're stuck or on an incline. Ramsey Winch recommends that you select a winch with a rated line pull at least 25% greater than your GVW.
