Expert Answers about Chevrolet Trailer Winch
- Electric Winch Comparison for 4500 lb Boat Trailer Application
- The Bulldog Winch Trailer Winch - Synthetic Rope - Hawse Fairlead - 4,400 lbs # BDW15020 is a really great winch designed for utility trailer use. It is able to be used as a boat trailer winch, but it has a slower run time with a long recovery cycle.
The Dutton-Lainson TW4000 StrongArm Electric Winch - Marine - 4,000 lbs # DL25200 is my recommendation with almost twice as fast a line speed under load and nowhere near the amperage draw. This will serve you better for your 4,500 lb boat...

- Both the Fulton # F142421 and the Dutton Lainson # DL15440 2-speed hand winches are rated for 3200-lbs maximum capacity. The Fulton works only with wire rope # FWC7500100 but the Dutton Lainson works with a wire rope # DL24104 or a polyester strap # DL24251. Although both are intended for use on a boat trailer they could certainly be used in a car trailer application so long as they offered the required pulling capacity.
Most of the time car trailers use an electric winch, like one of...

- The difference between the Bulldog Winch # BDW15019 and the Bulldog Winch # BDW15019 is not only in the synthetic rope versus cable but also in the fairlead. You can be the judge if it is worth the price difference or not.
Either winch will give you the capacity you need for the length of cable or rope, but you will be at the max capacity of the winch.
If you want a stronger winch for this application, I recommend the Bulldog Winch Trailer Winch - Wire Rope - Roller Fairlead - 7,800...

- Both the Jif-Marine 2-Speed Boat Trailer Winch # 315-W2500D and Fulton High-Performance 2-Speed Trailer Winch # F142412 share the exact same gear design as they are both very similar winches that both have two speeds.
Between the two I recommend the Jif Marine # 315-W2500D as it includes a strap and has been a more popular option with our customers with 140 reviews at a combined 4.7/5 star rating.
I included videos for both of the winches mentioned for you to take a look at.

- The Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # C31083 and Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # 65067 are currently the only 2 front mount receivers that are custom fit for your 2015 Ford F-150 XLT.
Both receiver have the same 9,000lb line pull rating for using your winch and both will support a tongue weight of up to 500lbs which will allow you to use it for other things during the summer. Visually both receivers appear the same and have very similar construction.

view full answer... - Comparing the Master Lock Trailer Winch # 2953AT with Superwinch # 1220210
- The rack and pinion for the Master Lock Electric Trailer Winch, # 2953AT, is in reference to the way that the winch brakes. It is a mechanical system that can support a load when stopped and the clutch is not engaged (which would allow the line to be pulled out).
A dynamic brake uses the motor to apply tension to the drum and it cannot hold a load. If it were me, I would go with Superwinch # 1120210, for the fact that it has the ability to power the load in and out. The Master Lock winch...

- The main differences between the Dutton-Lainson winches you referenced is that # DL14881 has a hand brake, a drum hub diameter of 1-5/16 inches, and two speeds. The # DL24844 winch is a single speed and has a drum hub diameter of 3-1/8 inches. Because of the lower gear ratios # DL14881 offers, the load would be able to be drawn in quicker than with the gear ratio of # DL24844. The two speed winch would allow you to be able to change the gear ratio for loads of different weights. The handle...

- The Bulldog Winch Powersports Series ATV Winch # BDW15013 is listed as a car winch based on the fact it has the hand held remote and flat mounting bracket for the other switch. The Superwinch Terra Series ATV Winch # SW1135230 is listed as and ATV/UTV winch because it has the remote as well as the switch for handlebar or shifter mounting. You are correct that they are very similar and will function in the same manner.
They are both a good option for your enclosed trailer for hauling...

- When comparing the 1.3K Dutton-Lainson Hand Winch # DL14362 and the 1.3K Fulton Single Speed Winch # F142104, I recommend the Fulton option because it has a long salt spray rating at 600 hours for the Z-Max.
Aside from the manufacturer and coatings these winches are pretty identical with weight rating and warranty.

view full answer... - Comparing Front Mount Receiver Hitches That Fit a 2015 Ram 2500 4X4 For Carrying a Winch
- The Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # C31015 does sit very far behind and below the factory bumper. When we installed it on a 2015 Ram 2500 like yours in our shop the hitch receiver pin sat 10" behind the leading front edge of the bumper. Since there are several different winches and mounts available and without knowing how the new bumper will change that 10" measurement it is hard to know exactly what will fit until the new bumper is installed. My biggest concern with this comes...

- While we don't carry the Superwinch LP10000 winch we do know that it is an intermediate level winch with a lot of great features whereas the Tiger Shark Series like the part # SW1595200 that you referenced is more of an entry level winch.
Just comparing the specs between the two winches I was surprised to see that the Tiger Shark does have a higher horsepower motor as well as the higher gear ratio meaning that it would reel the wire in a little bit faster. It does have a slightly lower...

- The 12-volt Superwinch LT2000 Electric Utility Winch, # 1120210, has a 2000-pound line pull capacity, which is well within your 330-pound load requirements. However, the dynamic braking on this item is not recommended for your application.
Dynamic braking systems are intended primarily for direct pull requirements such as pulling a boat or car onto a trailer. Your hoisting application would likely put too much stress on the drum. Also, please note that the 153:1 gear ratio equates to...
view full answer... - Comparing Curt and Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitches for a 2006 Dodge Ram and Winch
- The Draw-Tite front hitch # 65046 is slightly less invasive than the Curt hitch # C31017 and thus will provide slightly less ground clearance but ultimately they are very close. The vertical pull capacity is basically like tongue weight on a rear mounted hitch. If you are not going to apply downward force to the hitch then the lower capacity of the Curt hitch should not be an issue.
You mentioned using the hitch for a winch so there are some cases where vertical pull is a factor. For example...

view full answer... - Comparing Wire Rope and Synthetic Rope for Use in Winch
- Wire rope is typically more durable and will last longer than synthetic rope. It cannot be cut like synthetic rope, and wire rope will not fray or fade either.
Synthetic rope is less likely to damage cargo or other materials the rope may come in contact with. Additionally, synthetic rope will not rust if it gets wet like a wire rope may.
The type of rope you will want to use is dependent on the situations you will typically be using the winch. If you are planning on pulling something...

- Yes, the difference between the Detail K2 Snowplow # K2AVAL8422 and Detail K2 Elite Snowplow # K2AVAL8422ELT is the Elite has the electric actuator over the winch. The Elite also uses a chain connection to the blade while the basic K2 has a strap that is more likely to become damaged. The electric actuator is superior to the winch. It operates faster, smoother and it has a built in clutch that will protect against damage that a winch would cause. The actuator won't be able to lift the blade...

- Both the Draw-Tite # 65063 and EcoHitch # 306-X7900 front mount trailer hitches are great options for your 2018 Ram 2500, but EcoHitch tends to be a bit overpriced (at least about 95% of the time) so unless there is a specific feature setting it apart that you absolutely HAVE to have (like the integrated recovery loops) then there really isn't a big benefit to their brand. They initially came out with the first concealed crosstubes for rear hitches which made the high price-point worth...

view full answer... - What is the Difference Between a Tow Eye and a Tow Hook
- The Tow Eye, like # TR63045, and Trailer Hitch Receiver Mounted Forged Tow Hook, # TR63044 are both used a lot in vehicle recovery and winching operation applications but are not the safest option for other towing needs. The choice between using a tow hook or a tow eye will mostly depend on what exactly you need to recover the vehicle.
If off-road and you get stuck, you could use a winch and pulley block and connect it to a tow eye so it cannot slip off. But if you were pulling a vehicle...
