This was the 2500 that I bought to replace an old dependable 2500, that has been repaired three times, by me, and wasn't dependable any more. It's set up to be used in a receiver hitch, or chained to a tree, or whatever. The old one has the fairlead as part of the frame, new one has dick.
Wouldn't be so bad except my 9 ton hf winch wouldn't get the job done the other day either!
I know, I know, I should have bought a warn.
