2000 pound winch to small?

Hello, I have a 2000lb winch that has been sitting in the garage forever. Can I put something like that on my truck and will it be able to get me unstuck? Any help would be nice!

 

That sounds like a winch for a quad. If you are really stuck and need a winch for your truck, you will need something in the 6000-8000 lb. range.

 

put in the bed and use it to load stuff or sell to get bigger one

 

A 2000lb winch would probably pull your truck. On level ground. In neutral.

 

Right before it overheats and dies

 

Answer is no.

To overly simplify it a winch should be twice as strong as the trucks weight. 4000lbs truck = 8000lbs winch.

 

In this scenario, it'll be easier and cheaper just to get the wife or gf to get out and push.

 

^ this. But yes i would sell that one and look for a 8000lb winch or better.

 

Not everybody wants a 2000 Lb wench.

 

Thats a small 4wheeler winch.
