Description

Faster. Stronger. Easiest to Use. The all-new XRC Gen3 Winch by Smittybilt has been designed from the ground up with innovative, user-friendly features and improved power efficiency. The 7. 0 horsepower motor boasts an average line speed increase of 12% over its Gen2 predecessor, adding more speed and power with less AMP draw at load. The ergonomic remote controller has a Load Indicator Warning System, so you will always know how much your equipment can handle. Winching in dark conditions is also a breeze with the remote’s built- in flashlight. If additional light is needed, a 12-volt power post is located on the control box. Two magnets are built into the controller for easy placement on any metal surface, leaving it out of the way when not needed. A high-viz clutch lever features large lettering, allowing you to see whether your winch is engaged/free spooled at a glance. Stylish body armor can be detached or used to customize your winch to your vehicle. The XRC Gen3 winch is available with 9. 5k and 12k load-capacity options, and the COMP Series upgrade includes a synthetic rope and aluminum hawse fairlead. Buy with confidence – these winches are backed by a lifetime mechanical , a 5-year electrical , and Smittybilt’s legendary customer service.

  • Great product
Style: Winch COMP Series Size: 12K
Very very nice product I’ve owned it for 3 years now and has never let me down I have recommended it to all my friends and family who are looking for winches

  • Tough, durable, strong and excellent features
Style: Winch COMP Series Size: 12K
This Gen 3 Smittybuilt winch has many excellent features, from water ingress protection, light over the spool which is far more useful than I thought, even in daylight it helps to see the spooling of the rope hidden inside a bumper mount. The remote is easy to use, nice features with built in light, magnet mount, and indicators for temperature, load and direction. All very useful. The winch itself seems well made, tough, and easy to install on standard mounting pattern and more compact than the comparable Warm winch. The synthetic rope seems very capable and durable, and has held up to a very challenging and heavy directional pull, as well as abrasion with ground, pine needles and rocks. Also well protected rope casings on each end. I actually cut off the hook and replaced it with a Factor55 closed connection point and I will say that cutting off the hook took some time and destroyed two high quality metal cutting blades. It was way tougher than expected, which may be an indicator of how tough this winch is. I prefer the features, durability and price point over other brands. ... show more

The media could not be loaded. For the last year and a half I have been using this winch relentlessly in my tree biz. Remote lost the wireless feature the other day. The line snapped on a 90 foot oak the other day but it has been worn alot and it still got the tree the right way. Just ordered the new x20 gen 3 can't wait to use it ... show more

  • Great wench
Style: Winch COMP Series Size: 12K
This is a great wench. Be sure that you completely assemble the winch before you mount it to the plate. Use thread locker on the small screw's that mount the controller. It's real tough if you don't.
