I use this winch for my full-size Bronco and I have family with the same one on their Bronco. This winch is outstanding both in terms of build quality and brute strength. Don't settle for the 8000-lb model if you have a truck or SUV, get one of these and never look back in regret. You need a lot more pulling power than the weight of your truck once you get stuck, and if you have a 6,000-lb truck and an 8,000-lb winch, you could still be in trouble. When that happens, you'll wish you'd stepped up to the 12,000-lb model for the extra pulling power. Besides that, having extra power and stronger internals means less wear and tear so this winch is going to last you a lot longer than lower rated (8,000-lbs) models.If you can pony up the extra money and you have the room, definitely opt for one of these. I have never had a problem with mine and I don't know a single person with a full-size or SUV that has regretted buying this winch. They are an awesome, extremely well-built...
