  • Great Winch for the Price
Model: TANK 13500 Dual color
This is a nice looking winch at a great price point. Installation was easy and it seems to work fine though I have yet to use it for any significant recoveries and such. My one complaint is the manual. It is a great looking manual but it does not have any installation instructions other than where the electrical connections go. There is also nothing in the manual about how to use/charge the remote control. Also, it appears that Rugcel does not have a website, strange these days. ... show more

  • It can pull up stuff onto a trailer that doesn't have moving wheels
Model: TANK 13500LB Steel Rope
I purchased this winch about 6 months ago for placement on a 20 foot gooseneck trailer. The old winch was shot but I had the mounting brackets. I bought a new steel plate to reinforce the connection and drilled some new holes for mounting. I have pulled up 4 vehicles all of which had badly rusted wheels to the point they didn't roll. I drug those vehicles up onto the trailer with this winch. Yes, I had to give it a rest quite a few times, but it did the job eventually. I also pulled up a 12,000 lb tractor. I do have two heavy duty deep cell batteries hooked together as the power supply. Highly recommend! ... show more

  • Nice Winch but some minor issues
Model: TANK 13500LB Steel Rope
So I installed this winch (13.5K) on a front hitch mount on my 2020 F350 SD - everything looks good and functions properly - the winch by all appearances seems to be very tough and well made. My test pull was just done in the driveway and not in an actual off-road situation, so take that for what it is worth. I ordered my unit with a steel cable as it will be stored in my truck bed under a metal roll-up cover and I don't want a synthetic cable that will deteriorate with the heat build-up in the bed. As far as the cons there were a few but they are minor...(1) the 4 holes on the control box that sits at the top of the unit did not line up and had to be drilled out with a slightly larger bit which is something they should just do from the get go at the factory. (2) the battery cables need to be a bit longer as they barely reach the trucks batteries - I have dual batteries and had to run the positive to one side and the negative to the battery on the opposite side of the truck as both cables would not reach a single battery - another 2-3 feet of cable would be nice and would make for a cleaner lay-out and allow for closing the hood and actually being able to drive while the winch is mounted on the front hitch - for this reason alone I will only give it 4 stars instead of 5. (3) it would also be nice to have a pair of clamps to allow quick attachment to the battery rather than having to screw the cables to the battery terminal posts. SO RUGCEL IF YOU ARE LISTENING - add clamps and some extra wire and you just solved #2 and #3 above at the same time. Basically I have done this myself with readily available parts but it should have come this way from the factory. ... show more

  • Great looking winches
Model: TANK 13500 Dual color
Just installed, looks to be well made. I have operated to make sure it works. Instructions not great but provided. Installed of 2025 JL Rubicon X had steel bumpers but will need to purchase a mounting plate, I went with RC which fits great. Will see how she does out on the trail.

  • Very close comparison to BL Apex
Model: TANK 13500 Dual color
This is for the NEW RUGCEL WINCH 13500lb Waterproof Electric Synthetic Rope Winch 12V with Hawse Fairlead, 2 in 1 Wireless Remote,Double color rope. The 1st thing I noticed right away was how well packaged this winch came and how much visually the packaging looked to the Badlands Apex. Having owned an Apex, I immediately knew who they were competing with. That is also where the comparison ended. From appearance only; I prefer the TANK! It’s about 3” smaller in length and a little lighter (not much). The dual color rope is very nice and thicker than the Apex synthetic rope (at least it appears to be). The winch is also slimmer and shorter than the Apex and visually appears sealed up like the Apex. The TANKs wires and control box are also very nicely done. The thermal protective sleeves on the TANK was a nice touch for sure and should also reduce weathering of the cables. I did unwind all the synthetic rope and “stretch” it while rewinding. I did notice the Tank and Apex motors were equally “winch-loud”. The Tanks speed seems to be faster and winding felt more controlled. For about $150 less than a Badlands Apex; you can get the Rugcel Tank. I definitely recommend from first glance as I haven’t torture tested the Tank yet like I have the Apex. The Apex is a 10 out of 10 highly recommend but I have no doubt the Tank will also earn that recommendation. Reminder: the reason most of these “cheap” winches fail is improper install, vehicle weight, utilization, and post trail care. For the “fan boys”, I’ve seen Warn’s fail too. For most folks, a $400 winch will do the job when you need it, especially with these new IP68/69 options. Just for good measure Warn is also a Chinese sourced half “Assembled in America” with domestic and imported parts winch; only you’ll spend 2-5x for it. ... show more
