Warn VRX Series ATV/UTV Winches – 2,500 / 3,500 / 4,500 lb Options (Steel or Synthetic Rope)

The Warn VRX Series delivers trusted, hard-working performance for ATVs and side-by-sides. Built with all-metal construction, full IP68 waterproofing, and a smooth three-stage planetary gear train, VRX winches are engineered to take on job sites, mud, trails, and recovery situations with confidence.

With multiple capacities and rope types available, this lineup makes it easy to choose the ideal winch for your vehicle and riding conditions.

Warn VRX winches combine rugged durability with premium control and performance. Every model includes a permanent magnet motor for efficient pulling, a load-holding automatic brake for secure stops, and a corrosion-resistant powder-coated finish built to handle the elements.
