I had a tmax but now have a runva. Bought the runva due to price and because memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=596
Is a retailer and service agent for runva winches. My 9500 winch with synthetic rope was a fair bit cheaper then the
Tmax and has 5 times the warranty period.

There have been plenty of winch discussions in this forum and the consensus seems to be 6,000 lb Minimum as Shep has said. Don't forget to take the current draw into account when selecting a winch.
