I ended up buying a HF 12k winch for my new trailer, along with a HF hitch mount since my trailer came with a receiver exactly that purpose. Have hauled a few cars with it already, no issues whatsoever. Obviously time will tell, but for the price it won't have to do a whole lot before it's paid for itself in aggravation pushing cars, using a come-along etc. Plus with the hitch mount I could mount it to one of my trucks in a pinch, would be a nice addition to my '71 Ford for when I'm plowing snow, just in case.
