Superwinch EXP Series Winches

Physically large with big capability, Superwinch’s new 14, 16, 18,000# winches

At the 2016 SEMA Show Superwinch introduced their new EXP, Expedition Grade, winches in 8, 10, and 12,000# versions. At the 2017 SEMA Show they released the big dogs for the larger, heavier trucks, with new 14, 16, and 18,000# EXP Series winches. We are looking forward to their retail availability.

My last two truck builds both featured the previous generation, 12,500# Superwinch Talon.
