Lets hear your suggestions for a winch for a car trailer.

Harbor Freight had this:

That just seems unusually cheap.
Tractor Supply Company had this, I posted it earlier:

Then for almost double, they had this:

Why so much more for just another 1500 lb rating? Is it because of the synthetic rope?

I’m conflicted. I rarely ever default to the cheapest of anything but at the same time, I wonder how often I’d use whatever I buy. I try to consider where else I might use the winch to justify the expense.
I’m thinking that if a winch craps out on me on a retrieval, I could fall back to the Come Along.
Still, if I have some cash not set aside for anything else, why not step up?
