WARN - VR EVO 12-S WINCH

The WARN VR EVO 12-S Winch delivers powerful recovery performance and legendary WARN reliability in a durable, budget-friendly package. With a 12,000 lb rated line pull, synthetic rope, and IP68 waterproof construction, the VR EVO 12-S is built for serious off-road recovery on trucks, Jeeps, and overland vehicles.

At the heart of the winch is a 12-volt series-wound motor paired with a 3-stage planetary geartrain, providing strong and consistent pulling power for demanding recovery situations. The VR EVO series is engineered to deliver fast line speeds with lower amp draw, helping reduce strain on your electrical system during heavy pulls.

The ZEON-inspired design includes IP68 waterproof sealing to keep water, mud, and dust out of critical components. A relocatable control pack with an ultra-reliable Albright® contactor allows flexible mounting options when installing the winch on aftermarket bumpers.

The 3/8" x 90' synthetic rope reduces weight compared to steel cable while maintaining excellent strength and safer handling. Combined with a die-cast hawse fairlead, the VR EVO 12-S is a strong, lightweight recovery solution for modern off-road vehicles.

Whether you’re equipping a Jeep trail rig, overland build, or heavy-duty truck, the WARN VR EVO 12-S offers dependable pulling power and durability at a price point that makes it one of the most popular WARN winches available.
