X-BULL Winch-13500 lb. Load Capacity Electric Winch -12V DC Power for Towing Truck Off Road, 2 in 1 Wireless Remote,13500 XRS Series

Mounted the X-BULL XRS 13,500lb winch on my Jeep, and I’ve already used it to recover a buddy’s Silverado buried to the frame. For the price? Absolutely worth it. It doesn’t just look good—it performs when it counts. ✅ What I Liked: Pulling power is legit – 13,500lb rating isn’t just for show. It handled heavy recoveries without groaning or overheating. Wireless + wired remotes – Both work great. Wireless is fast and responsive within 50 ft. Synthetic rope – Lightweight, safer than steel, and way easier to handle solo. Overall construction feels solid – Not Warn-tier, but not harbor-freight-tier either. ⚠️ What Could Be Better: Instructions = meh – Basic wiring info, but no detail. YouTube saved the day. No isolator included – I added a kill switch to avoid parasitic draw and stay trail-safe. 🔧 Install Notes: Mounted it to a Tyger Fury bumper (fit perfectly). Took about 90 minutes with wiring. Used a breaker switch inline for battery safety and routed the remote plug port to a cleaner spot with a weatherproof cap. ⭐ Final Verdict: If you’re not trying to drop a grand on a name but still want pull-your-buddy-out-of-a-ditch power, this is the winch. It’s not flashy, it’s not fancy—but it works. Just do a clean install, and this winch will absolutely earn its keep.

Install wasn’t too bad and the quality is nice! It looks amazing! Instructions are good and it functions fine. Haven’t used it for a recovery yet but seems like it’ll work great. Installed on my Amazon knock off Mopar steal bumper! I highly recommend removing the grill during install, makes the wiring much easier. Also install new headlights while the grill is off, the winch has to be unbolted and slid forward to get the grill off. I mounted the winch first and then a few weeks later had to unbolt it and slide it forward to get the grill off to install headlights. The bottom 4 bolts that secure the winch are the most difficult part.

Don't let yourself get caught up in the "name brand" shaming cycle. Sure, you can spend four times the amount for a name brand. But this unit will do anything a warn or smittybuilt can. AT LESS THAN HALF THE COST. Build quality was fantastic. The winch operates flawlessly. It's a 216:1 ratio, so isn't going to blow the doors off in a race, but it will get there without overheating. Weighing 59lbs with synthetic rope, it fits perfectly into my Proline bumper on my 2007.5 Dodge Ram 3500. I'm not one for looks of a winch. I more care about how they perform. But this winch looks excellent on the front end of my truck, and pulls like a champ. I wanted to test the unit, so I hooked up to my camper after receiving the winch. Between the truck and trailer, the scale says I'm 16,500 lbs. The winch handled the weight fine up a roughly 10 degree grade. Overall I am pleased with my purchase. Should come in handy l late season elk hunting.

very nice and excellent build quality, comes with wire and wireless remote. no need to pair to use the remote. for my bronco installation if the main ground wire is few inch longer will be better, but I still just make it to the battery. If it comes with the cover will be excellent. Haven't use it yet, will update after a season of use. Use it over the year, done may recovery for myself and help others. never fail! One time my car's 4 wheel system fail in the middle of the trail run, only have 2H half way through. the winch help me finished and get to the main road. must have!self

Bought this winch for my 1997 Jeep TJ. Installation took about an hour but only because it was my first time installing a winch (I'm rather mechanical/handy). If I had to do it again I probably could do in 1/3 the time knowing now where to route my wires to battery. BTW the battery lead extensions are just long enough to rout to battery safely with a few inches to spare. The remote control works flawlessly and the remote cord is long enough to operate the which sitting in driver seat or at a distance from the vehicle. Installed it and immediately went to my local mud/sand hole and "got stuck" intentionally to see how it would hold up. Tied around a tree and the thing yanked it out with relative ease from about +/- 60 feet out. Motor didn't overheat in the time I used it. The engage/disengage worked as it should. The hook with the magnet is also pretty clutch. After one use i'm very happy with how it yanked my tj out of the sand/muk in south florida. I'll come back to edit my reiview after a few months of use. Overall first impressions are that I'm very happy with price/value/effectiveness of this 13.5k winch. Would recommend.

Easy install i suggest upgrading the anchor bolt,other then that it a fantastic winch very affordable top competitor to the name brands

Great Product,,, i installed in My MotorHome, And uesd to bull up My friend Motor home he stuck in beach sand (Almost 9000 kg+ )

I have installed this on my GMC Savana. It is Powerful and has managed to pull almost every 4x4 that I was rescuing. built quality is good. just the front bolts got rusty so maybe they need to use some good coating for it. otherwise the winch is excellent.

Great in terms of power, size, weight. We will see how long will it last but from the quality and materials it seems it will stay for long

Good build quality, easy to install. Had a bit shorter length positive red cable, had to be really inventive to reach battery terminal on the Jeep Wrangler Sport(maybe just my setup).

Easy installation, still didn't use it in real winching, but operate fine
