Warn M12000 Heavy-Weight Series Winch


A working heavy-duty pickup needs a strong winch and that’s why we picked the Warn M12000 to ensure our Big Boss Dodge Ram Diesel 4×4 had enough self-recovery power on tap t meet the most demanding situations.


For heavy-duty winching needs, this winch is a champion workhorse. Big torque, power and quick no-load retrieval speed is 30 feet per minute.

Its design is low profile, so it’ll fit where you want. And it’s powered by the 4.6-hp Series Wound motor and our proven three-stage planetary gear train. With 125 ft. of 3/8″ wire rope, the M12000 can solve most any pulling problem.
