RUGCEL 13500lb New Waterproof Electric Synthetic Rope Winch 12V with Hawse Fairlead,2 in 1 Wireless remote control, wired control,Double color rope,for Truck SUV

Quality product, fast shipping, nice working winch.

It came with everything needed to install it. My only problem is that my dog ate one of the rubber cable terminal boots. I'm going to source a replacement.

Works great. Glad I bought it!

I purchased a rugcel several years ago for my sxs. It did have some quality issues like wording and directional arrows to lock and engage were reversed but it worked for a long time. The new TANK seems to be a much higher quality and quieter but I have not had to use it yet. If I plan accordingly maybe I'll never need to. Installed on a '23 gladiator.

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.

Worked for 4 times now it won’t work. I tried 3 different power sources and all I get is clicking noise when buttons are pushed. Reached out to seller 2 times and have heard no response. For what it is it worked well the 4 times I used it.

Screw all those people who say don’t buy Chinese winches? This thing works amazing had absolutely no problems installing it and everything works perfect. It does not overheat pulling my truck so I’m very happy with this.

I used this (and a little ingenuity) to pull a 17,000-pound sailboat over 1200' across a salt marsh where Helene left her. I provided 500Amps of 12v DC from my house bank and it did the rest. It took 3 tide cycles since I did it in 50' chunks, but I am the only one of 16 stranded boats to get out on my own and completely undamaged. Pay attention to heating and duty cycle but, overall, the winch is awesome.
