Not saying a 2500 won't work, but usually you you buy a winch that is at least twice the weight of the rig plus some. That way you dont over strain the winch itself during a pull. After your stuck in a bog the suction creates more than the weight weight of the mud itself. My suggestion would be get a larger winch. I've always been a guy that would rather have MORE than needed than NOT ENOUGH when it's NEEDED.... HF's 5000 works awesome and comes with a rocker switch for the cab....
I always figure the trial version as part of my cost. Meaning that if I get something and it doesn't work for me, that price is then added to the unit that I'm going to need. In that if the 2500 was 100 and a 5000 is 200. That means (to me) that the 5000 cost me 300.... but thats me. I guess if you can use it in some other way it would not be a total lose... other than the time it takes installing it. Same principle as mud, the drag of the snow and the freezing to the bottom of your rig also adds to the weight of the pull. Again, good luck in your path to what works for you... I'm pretty sure HF would refund you and allow you to buy an upgraded winch. Might be an option. A 2500 is more suited for a quad, but if it works for you..... AWESOME SAUCE!!!
