The Smittybilt XRC-8 provides enough power to pull you and everyone out. However, when the winch is submerged it’s hard to hook on the power controller. Overall, the Smittybilt XRC-8 Winch in my opinion is by far the best on the market! It can take what you give it and then some!
The new Smittybilt XRC-8 Winch encompasses all the best features you would want in a winch. Every XRC-8 (8,000 LB.) winch features a 5.5HP Series Wound Motor and a Planetary Gear System with 172.8:1 gear ratio that will deliver power and reliability at a premium price. For a recovery system with the muscle and dependability to bail you out of any situation, the XRC-8 has all the heavy duty toughness you’re looking for.
