How to Use the 2017 Ram 2500 Power Wagon’s Electric Winch

The 2017 RAM 2500 Power Winch can prove to be extremely useful in many situations, if used correctly. The Power Winch can pull up to 1200 lbs and is successful in pulling out stuck or flipped vehicles, as demonstrated by MotorTrend. They also demonstrate the proper safety procedure for using the winch, which requires a solid anchor point, a secure attachment to something with no slack and proper management of the vehicle as the remote is being used for the winch. With up to 90 ft of cable, the reaches of the winch are expansive.

Key Takeaways:

• You have to keep in mind that the winch is not a toy but a tool. The winch can be used to pull a vehicle that has been stuck or flipped over.
• When the winch is being operated, you’ll want the Power Wagon’s transmission to be in neutral, and someone should always be inside the truck to control the brakes.
• The winch includes 90 feet of cable, which should never be wrapped directly around a tree because this increases the chances of it breaking. This is a very capable tool that can quickly get you out of trouble in case you find it.
