Winch And Wiring Harness For A Rear Mounted Winch On A 2014 Toyota Tacoma
Question:
I have a Toyota 2014 Tacoma. I would like to wire for a power winch on the rear. I would like a cable sized to be able to power a nice winch, with fuse and quick connect. I have a older winch that I do not know if it works, can I get a quick connect to wire to any winch and plug into your cabe. Thank you

I recommend going with the Bulldog Winch Rear Wiring Kit # BDW20206 for your 2014 Toyota Tacoma.
This wiring kit is 20' long, is constructed from thick 2 AWG wire so it can be used on heavier capacity winches if need be, and also features a pair of quick connects so you can easily connect the winch to the wiring.
If you're needing a winch tray so you can mount your winch to your vehicle, the Bulldog Winch Hitch Mounted Winch Mounting Plate with Handles # BDW20011 will work with winches up to 12.5K with standard 10" x 4.5" bolt pattern, and will mount into a 2" x 2" trailer hitch receiver.
If you're also interested in a new winch, the Bulldog Winch Alpha Series Off-Road Winch # BDW10048 is a great option that has a maximum static load capacity of 15,000lbs, and has a vehicle recovery capacity of 10,000lbs.
