Lets hear your suggestions for a winch for a car trailer.

New cables, New battery, jumped the New battery with another good battery, to double available power...... (both indicating 12.6v.) and it still needed the additional 2500, powered by the jumper battery to get a 6500lb truck, oops,my mistake, a 2500lb car, up a I 1/2 foot high trailer.
There is no f@#king way I should need to double line an 9000 lb rated winch to pull a 2500 lb car.

Note! : in my previous post I said it was a 9 ton winch. That was a memory mistake, it's actually a 9000 lb winch.
So STILL, it should have no problem pulling 1/3 it's rating up a low trailer with nice long ramps.

Next time, I'm just gonna try the little 2500, all by itself. The one that isn't near as nice or convenient as the FIRST 2500 one I got fifteen years ago......

Still shopping for a new winch. Kinda hard to do, since I don't buy from amazon or ebay.

Buy a Warn M8000, the last one I bought came from Summit Racing. Buy once, cry once.
I have 3 of these winches, they always work.
The one on the front of my truck has had the crap used out of it, I finally changed the original cable because of kinks. I replaced it with a synthetic line.
The one on my trailer has also been worked hard, no issues.
I just bought a new one for my 2023 Wranger, it has not had much use yet.

I did buy a 12000 HF one for the front of my 47 Dodge, but the truck is still a work in process, so it has not been used yet.
And in both my garages I have a 3500 lb tractor supply winches mounted to the floor, to drag dead cars in, very handy.
