I use an older(5years) harbor freight 5,000 lbs winch welded to a 2" trailer hitch bar. I just ran heavy cables and plugs so I can plug it in the front or rear hitch. I just used it it to unstuck? My 32,000lbs motor home. The only casualty was the wire cable, a couple of kinks and "meat hooks". I think the HF 5,000 is strong enough but look for synthetic cable replacement. The 6 and 8,000lbs are not that much more expensive, but are bigger and heavier.
