I was genuinely impressed by the Rugcel 12K winch. Its design rivals that of top tier brand, without the hefty price tag. The build quality feels solid and heavyduty, and installation was refreshingly simple and straightforward. If you’re looking for a high performance winch without overspending, this is a fantastic alternative. You even get the option of a wireless remote, which adds convenience and flexibility. One feature I especially appreciated was the shut-off valve, it lets you cut power to the winch when it’s not in use, preventing unnecessary battery drain. Overall, I absolutely love it! It delivers premium quality at a fraction of the cost. Highly recommended. Great value for the money

I got the Tank 13K which is really 13.5K and it’s great. I originally installed it on my F-250 and did several recoveries with it and it’s as strong as a Tank. Now I put it on my new Jeep Rubicon Gladiator which is a much lighter truck than my Ford. I’ve pulled trees down and bushes up out of the ground with this Winch and it has never let me down. I don’t have any real complaints but I do wish there was a way to charge the remote other than plugging it into the winch. It would be great if RUGCEL would offer a cigarette lighter power port adaptor so you could charge it inside the vehicle. If you’re hung up on name brands I totally understand that but if you just want a dang great winch that works great and looks great without the high name brand price this guy won’t disappoint you!

Very happy with the fit and function so far! As some people have mentioned, it does come with blue stickers on it that aren't shown in the listing but for my application it didn't matter. It is very well made and I can't wait to put it to the test! It's $150 cheaper than a HF winch so very good price. The wireless remote is nice and will charge the internal battery if plugged into the winch with the included cable. The perko switch was a very nice touch! It is about the same noise level as the Apex 12k do not too loud but expect it to be louder than a 5k utv winch. The draw speed is very nice also! Overall I'm impressed with this winch for the price!

I researched the 12,000 lb winches for completeness of configuration and comments from previous buyers with installation reviews. The winch seems sturdy and well built. The wiring color coated junction covers were a nice touch but i have a suggestion to the manufacturer. I could tell all the parts were there by virtue of taking inventory vs what was shown in the included operation manual but (like every other commenter) could have used some instruction pictures and a company video. The color coded wiring notations was very helpful for a mechanically minded person. If you don’t have a history with tinkering with things, making your own modifications for the lack of comprehensive instructions and no diagrams, plan on taking two hours to install the winch package. The winch could have (should have) been pre-assembled with the wires bolted in-place and the colored junction covers pulled over the wiring junctions. That would have saved an hour just making sure everything was laid out for assembly. It wouldn’t have taken the manufacturer any time to have all of that done. The winch went in easy enough but no way my wife could ever figured out how to assemble the items. Not that she is inept, but that the pieces take time to assemble so they are on the number with no loose or extra length of wires that might slap the grill or make noise on the highway. On another note, the winch hooks does not fit over my ‘U’ hooks on my bumper. Guess i need to buy a couple of 12,000 lb ‘S-hooks’ or a small tow strap with hooks to use a pulley on a tree and another short one to connect the winch hook to the bumper ‘U’s. None of this is a real deterrent but they would have easily gotten 5 stars with a few changes. Or let someone assemble the system and use it in a real situation to eliminate the missing set up add-on items. Now i have to think about how to rig the winch cable out in the woods and hope i bought all the small extras to be able to get my jeep pulled out of a ‘stuck’ saturation in the woods.

This 12,000 lbs wench is great! The installation was pretty much straight forward. Match bolt holes for my bumper and was very easy to install. The wiring harness is well marked but the little rubber boot connector are a bit of a fight to get seated correctly. But after some effort went together very well. As well the wiring harness come out of wench in the correct direction toward battery. The relay box is kind of large I made a bracket and worked great. One of the best features is the remote control that you can also wire to winch or remote control and when wired it charges the remotes batteries. It looks durable and was a good price. The wrench is pretty heavy and look very durable.
