What to Look Out for When Buying Ford Bronco Electric Winches?
Pull Rating (Size)
The first thing you should look at when choosing an electric winch is its pulling power or size. This is generally measured in pounds (lbs), and the range for electric Winches is typically 2,000 to 12,000 lbs. Choose the one that suits your Bronco and the terrain you'll be driving in.
You should take note of the weight of your vehicle when it's fully loaded and add 50% of its weight to it. For instance, if your Bronco weighs 6600 lbs when fully loaded with your gears and accessories, you should look at a 9000lbs winch. It will give you ample power to pull your truck out when it's stuck.
Rope
Next, you need to consider the type of rope the electric winch uses. There are two common options - steel rope and synthetic rope. Steel rope is the first choice and is made of steel cables. It's strong, can handle a lot of weight, is suitable for rough terrains, and is somewhat less expensive than synthetic rope. On the other hand, synthetic rope is made of manufactured materials like Kevlar or polypropylene. It's lighter than steel rope, but it doesn't have the same strength. New synthetic ropes are stronger than steel ones but can fray easily.
Motor & Gear Type
The motor and gear type are two more important factors to consider when choosing an electric winch. The motor powers the winch and comes in two varieties - series wound and permanent magnet. Series-wound motors are more powerful but also more expensive. Permanent magnet motors are less powerful but cheaper.
Also, take note of the motor horsepower rating and the battery requirements.
As for the gear type, there are two main options - planetary and worm. Planetary gears are the most common and offer a good balance of strength and speed but may not hold enough weight. Worm gears are slower and tougher and offer immense pulling power.
Choosing the right electric winch for your Bronco is important if you want to avoid getting stuck in tough terrain.
Mounting
The last factor you need to consider is the mounting location. Follow the manufacturer’s installation guide to mount the winch on your Bronco. This will make using it easier and help distribute the weight evenly. The bumper mount is the simplest, and you can install a winch bumper if need be.
