16.5 TI 16500# Winch

The WARN 16.5 TI 16500# Winch is purpose-built for serious off-road recovery and vehicle extraction work. Whether you're running a heavy-duty truck, Jeep, or specialized 4x4, this winch delivers the pulling power needed to handle stuck vehicles, trailers, or equipment in demanding terrain. With a line pull capacity of 16,500 pounds, it is an ideal choice for professionals and experienced enthusiasts who demand reliability when recovery matters most.

Built with WARN's proven engineering, the 16.5 TI features a sealed, drum-based motor design that resists mud, water, and debris ingress—critical for extended backcountry operation. The robust gearing delivers consistent pulling force across the full 16,500-pound capacity, while thermal protection prevents burnout during continuous winching cycles. At 136 pounds, this unit requires solid bumper mounting infrastructure but offers the power-to-weight ratio serious recovery teams demand.

The compact footprint of 17.25 × 10.5 × 26.5 inches allows integration into most aftermarket winch plates without excessive frame modification. This winch is suitable for operators running vehicles with a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of 8,000–12,000 pounds, making it a valuable tool for expeditionary fleets, search and rescue teams, and commercial recovery services. Installation requires a compatible WARN winch plate or aftermarket bumper system rated for the pull load; verify your vehicle's frame capacity before mounting.
