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

It never was a 2K winch, pre covid they were around $500, not sure on the EVO pricing.
I think that you are thinking about the M2478 which is a beast winch, now that one was around 2K now about 3K.

The gears and cases on the M series winches are still manufactured in USA, they do outsource some parts like cables etc.

Looks like it’s normally a ~$900 ish winch now.

Regardless, Warn is just another US company whose CEO has put profits ahead of everything else.

I’d rather buy HF and know exactly where my money is going than give it to the douchebag that decided to offshore a US company. Those guys are the real problem.

The HF winch is the spitting image of a Warn EVO, and Warn deserves it.
