Have yet to use it. Instructions and online video made it easy to install. Looking forward to using when needed.

The winch is exactly as advertised. It's awesome! I installed it easily and it works and looks amazing. Shipping was fast

Good product /good price/ quick delivery
Brent H.
Good product but I don’t like how the guide doesn’t mount to the winch itself.

I used Warn for long years... But this new generation are very expensive in reality and I can't find any justification for those high prices. So I hear from you from a friend of mine, I was undecided on which one to buy really, until he showed me his and I opted for this one.
This still in the box, I am waiting the original left side battery case and some other parts from Australia to install all: Bumper, Winch and double bat system. I guess I will install all the next week and I am pretty exited to use my new winch... I will let you know how it going...
Regards
Ray

Shipping was quick. Packaging was good. Install was very simple. Pulled small car out of snow, works as it should
Neil J.
Quick and easy install. Was new to winches and instructions didn't show where to mount controller had to Google that but am happy with the winch so far. Haven't had any real world tests with it yet.

I love my winch. I put it on my 2016 ram 1500 and was able to winch out a ford f250 with a job box out of the ditch no problems. Only two small things that I think could be improved on, 1 the ability to mount the control box on the back side of the winch and 2 for the engage/disengage lever to be a bit lower profile to fit in a bumper.
Todd D.
Ordering was easy, communication was excellent and shipping was fast (3 days). Product arrived packaged well, everything was complete and installation was a breeze! Everything worked as it should! I would definitely do it all over again.

Great item! Fast shipping!

I mounted it on my trailer. Great winch. Remote works great even from behind my trailer. I put a different style hook on mine but only out of preference. You will need a plate to mount the fairlead to if you are using separately from a bumper.

Arrived sooner than expected. Unit looks good but haven't had the opportunity to use it yet.
Deanna D.
Great deal for a winch with 13,000lbs and a synthetic rope!
Scott S.
Haven’t used it yet, but impressed non the less so far..
Ramón C.
Haven't used it but seen to be good for the price. Good quality. Thinking on purchasing another one!
Sam M.
Had this 13000 lb winch mounted onto my flatbed trailer to pull my tractors on if I ever need to take them to the mechanic. Tested it out today to pull this tractor on that weighs around 13k and it did just fine. I also used the winch to unload it so that it went down the ramps in full control. Worked well!

Easy to install and operate
Foyce W.
Great looking winch and already used it to pull a few guys out of the mud. XBULL seems to be a good winch for the money. Shipping was fast also. Thanks Xbull
johnny the greek
I have used it pulling cars on my trailer that didn't run, with no issues. Smooth and strong
John H.
Exactly as shown and described, Fantastic packaging, fast shipping, Great deal - Thanks
Carol B.
Nice winch, works as it should. Arrived in a timely manner. It was purchased with a cover which was not packed with the winch. A message was sent to sales who responded back the following day that it would be taken care of. Received my cover in 5 days. All in all a positive experience.
Darren R.
One of the best winches I own... and I have 6.
Nick P.
Shipped on time, arrived well packaged with no damage. The install was fairly straight forward, so if your at all mechanically inclined, this should be no problem. Install took me 90 min, mostly because of rerouting wires to the battery. The main reasons I went with this brand/model is because of price point, the cordless remote control, and color (my Jeep has orange accents, pics). I haven't had to use it yet, but it looks good just sitting there!
Neal W.
This was an easy installation on my Jeep Jk. Already used it to pull my jeep jk and a 20 ft. Pontoon boat out of a pond and across a 30 ft sandy beach. I would highly recommend. Great winch for the price!
Lyle R.
Fit and finish on par with much more expensive units. Fantastic quality and value.
Robert B.
Looks good, well packaged, haven’t got to use it yet
Matt tyrell
Have bought various for friends. Every one of them working without issues.
Dustin W.
I ordered a X-BULL winch and after a couple handful of uses a gear broke and the winch had issues, being withing my one year warranty period I contacted with the company and after some back and forth they were kind and said they would send me a new unit to replace the broken one. There customer service was great and I'm happy with them. The winch works great and has got me out of some bad spots in the snow and im happy to be a customer of theirs.
Mikki
So far a great winch, but some added use will tell the real tale. So far I love the wireless remote.
Robert Schuler
Only a 4 due to have installed and looks great. Haven't used yet but have seen one in action. I'm sure I won't be disapointed.
Marvin Kenemore
Think will really like it installation went great haven't used it yet
Jim Fitzpatrick
Great winch for the price
Mike Pope
Great product and super customer service!
Oswaldo Ocampo
Cool product!
Phillip Nipper
Awesome winch. Great price and good quality! Pulled a f350 onto my car hauler no problem!
Jessica
Let's see how long this holds up! So far so good! Love that I do not have to get out the Jeep
Joseph Brown
For the price, you can¡¯t beat this winch!!
I ended up buried to the axles, in powdered sand, in a HEAVY F250. This winch had no problem yankin¡¯ my truck out!! The wireless feature is awesome!!! No regrets for being a frugal S.O.B.!!
Ross Carlson
Very strong , rope and motor , have to watch putting a lot of pressure on a short lead of rope because it will embed rope into spool and then you have to hook onto something stout and pull vehicle away to clear the jam in spool .
Tim
This is a 4 year review on x bull winches 4500lb to 13000 lb . If you wanted a winch that just keeps ticking even if its hurt or keep breaking bolts from getting yanked on these xbulls have been the longest lasting winches for me. I own and run a offroad park along with recovery help for national forrest land around me. The abuse we put winches threw arent always normal . In my experience the xbulls habe held up for me and my customers good enough where nothing bad could be said beside make the sythetic ropes a little thicker and better seals for moister. With a average of 20 winch pulls per week on each rig to say we use them alot is mild . Recoverys on full size rigs down to atvs , trees , fences, trailers and whatever we have too . The xbull has done the best for us so far . A large number of people switch just over how far the remotes reach on distance .
Over all they are worth the money for constant use. Even if you hurt the motors like i have they just wont quite. I went threw warns, superwinches, and a few others . These just seem to hold up for us .
Gary Borg
Install was easy. Everything worked as it should. Bought it on sale with free shipping and no tax. Read all the reviews so I thought I knew what to expect. Several reviews said it was noisy. I found that not to be true. Ran it not under load so that might change. Really like the version upgrade that comes with the wireless remote receiver already wired in the control box. Would I buy again? If the price stays the same? A definite YES!
Henry Bergey
Looks well built have not installed yet
Christopher Lowery
Great product for the price ??
Michael Duplechin
Plenty of pull power really like it a lot quieter than some winches and a highly recommend I'm getting one for my 4 wheeler and my side by side it Comes exactly how it is shown loved wireless remote i Use it to move portable buildings
Mark Heath
Well made and low profile. Easy install
Clarence Edgens III
This is the 2nd one I've bought 1 for my son and my trucks. Really like the ruged build quality and finish. Mason has used his and worked great.
Adam Chipman
Install was easy and everything bolted right up. I was a little concerned with the length of the lead wires, but they were plenty long enough to reach battery and get it all hooked up.
The wireless remote worked very well. The synthetic rope easily free spun out and pulled back and wound nicely.
I have yet to need to use it to pull anything out yet.
I liked the Orange color as I'm using it as my accent.
Bob Phillips
Great winch for the price with the synthetic rope & remote upgrades that are expensive options on most brands. Received in good condition, well packaged. I'm using this winch with the X-Bull winch cradle hitch mount and it fits perfectly. Easy to set up and so far everything works great. I like the versatility of the hitch mount so it can be used on all my trucks and tractor without damage to the vehicles. The hitch is the strongest pulling point on my vehicles, that's what it's designed for. Have used it for pulling large logs & has plenty of power. Time will tell how well it holds up but so far I'm very pleased with it.
Carl Ackerman
Nice looking winch easy install
Redicaljk
This is our second 13,000lb X-Bull winch. First one was purchased about 5 years ago and is still going strong.
Dean
I chose not to get the hitch bracket for install because I was mounting directly to my trailer. Easily installed in a hour and a half. Haven't winched any cars yet but so far everything works perfectly. I really love the remotes, seems like they have good range and will make pulling cars out of the fields and barns by myself super easy.
Ryan S.
So far it¡¯s a monster of a winch. I¡¯ve recovered several vehicles in the past month or so with it. Also pulled out a few shrubs. Wireless remote is pretty handy. The synthetic cable is handy and easy to maneuver. Could¡¯ve used better instructions for the wiring. Luckily I figured it out with some former electrical knowledge. However the instructions mentioned a black wire with yellow boot... this doesn¡¯t exist on the wiring provided.
JJ
Extremely impressed with quality of winch and ease of use
Johnny
I Mounted this Winch on my trailer to load vehicles. It has worked great so far. I pulled a F-350 diesel on with all four tires flat and it had no trouble pulling it up the trailer.
I also love the rope cable. My last winch had the steel cable and I always had trouble with it bunching up in one spot, but not with the synthetic rope it just keeps spooling on like it should.
Great purchase and will be buying a synthetic rope for my other trailers wench.
ROBERT HOSLEY
Works great good value for the money
William smith
The remote controls seem to work well. The corded controller could be relocated from top of control box to side to prevent water from seeping in connection. For the price it seems to be a decent unit. Time will tell! This is my first winch with fiber rope and am impressed with it so far. It is much easier to work with. It also came with a nice cover to protect it from the elements.
Benjamin Sears
For starters I have to say this winch has gotten several high marks on several websites for being the best budget winch. I am putting it in an arb bumper and have had to do a lot of modifying of the bumper to get it to work... but it fits and it works and I am pleased. I had to use a different fairlead to make it work on that bumper but no big deal. So with all that said I have not been off road with it yet but I am excited to see what it can do.
George Abraham
Great fit . Wiring long enough to get to the battery! Hooked it up and is very quiet!
J. Heller
Excellent product, exactly as described. Versatile two way remote (wired or wireless) is a feature which sealed my decision. I anticipate many years of service from this unit.
Christopher Stevens
Fantastic winch very reliable and strong, can't tell the difference between this and Runva.
I always recommend these products and this winch.
I also have the 14500 pound that's sold out.
Michael Hamilton
Pretty straightforward installation. Definitely worth the money. I've used this winch a few times since I installed it and have not had any issues. If you just want a big name like Warn, go ahead and pay 3x more so you can look cool around your friends. This one does the job just fine. My only gripe is that the wireless remotes feel very cheap, however, they do work without any problems.
Chuck
I had to modify by rotating the clh release to 6 o'clock ( under the truck bumper) and relocated the relay box to do my custom install behind an OE Silverado bumper. So far- I like the synthetic rope, but its too early to tell how it will hold up after repeated usage. The wireless remotes work great, even at the far reach of the rope. Having two will increase the odds of always having one that works, and my buddy can keep one in his pocket too when I need him to take over. I use these when pulling bushes and saplings out so I don't have to keep walking back to the truck all the time. A Very handy tool around the homestead compound.
Randy Munson
I bought the 13000 version, when I emailed and asked the difference between the regular and upgraded version I was told only the upgraded version was available, but no explanation. The winch came in less than a week and is very well constructed. Overall a very good winch, but with the regular winch a cover is listed as included, I assumed a cover would be on the upgraded and didn't notice it wasn't, so for the extra money I will now spend on a cover I may have made a different purchase, that's where I took the star away.
