The Latest Innovation In Truck and SUV Recovery
Getting stuck can be the best/worst feeling for those of us who drive our trucks and SUVs for recreation as well as everyday use. On one hand, you know you’ve got some work to do to get yourself on your way again, but on the flip side, there is a decent chance you had some fun along the way to getting stuck. The best recovery accessory you can add to your vehicle is a winch to give you the pulling power to clear the mud, snow or trail obstacle and get you back on the road or trail. Warn Industries is the most-recognized brand when it comes to off-road accessories and its winch line is considered the benchmark of quality. The latest innovation from Warn takes recovery to a new level with the ZEON XD line of winches for trucks and SUVs.
Why Warn?
Simply put, there is a big reason to go with a Warn winch over a different brand – reliability. A Warn winch is widely known for all of the quality aspects you’d expect in a premium winch, and the new ZEON XD is the culmination of a decade of experience with the Zeon line. The result is the most reliable, fastest recovering electric winch for your truck or SUV. If you frequently find yourself in a tight spot where you might need a winch to get you back home again at the end of the day, a Warn Industries ZEON XD winch is for you.
What Makes the ZEON XD Special
The original ZEON series winch is an amazing product, and after over 10 years of development time with the ZEON, Warn came through with some improvements. The ZEON XD 10- S and ZEON XD 12-S have new high-performance, high-efficiency electric motors and gear trains. When you add those two elements together you get a winch with fast, best-in-class, no-load line recovery speeds of up to 40 ft/min. This gets you back on the trail/road faster after you’ve got your ride out and operational.
The ZEON XD winches have certified IP68 submersion and high-pressure-tested IP69K waterproof construction with new and improved O-ring rubber sealing. This keeps the outside elements from getting inside the winch, ensuring years of reliable performance. All of the electrical connectors have been upgraded for higher corrosion resistance standards, too. Plus, the OEM-grade bus bars provide efficient electrical connections. The result is a winch that pulls harder and faster for longer periods of time in the harshest conditions, and withstands the elements that it endures mounted to the front of your truck or SUV.
A Complete Package
Designed, engineered, tested, and assembled in Warn’s state-of-the-art facility in Clackamas, Oregon, the new ZEON XD is available in two capacities – the 10,000 lb. ZEON XD 10-S, and the 12,000 lb. ZEON XD 12-S. The “S” designation comes from Warn’s use of Spydura synthetic rope. Known for being strong, lightweight, and easy-to-handle, synthetic rope makes for an easier recovery. The ZEON XD 10-S includes 100 feet of ⅜-in. Spydura synthetic rope, while the ZEON XD 12-S uses 80 feet. Abrasion sleeves and forged steel hooks come with both winches. Warn also uses a larger diameter aluminum drum to reduce stress on the rope, giving it a longer lifespan of use. Warn added upgraded black hawse fairleads to both ZEON XDs for superior corrosion, impact, and UV resistance to keep everything functioning properly and looking good.
Control
The ZEON XD uses a 12-foot corded waterproof remote. Or you can use the HUB wireless control receiver with over 100-feet of range by using the WARN HUB app on your smartphone. It works with both iOS and Android systems.
ZEON XD winches use ultra-reliable Albright contactors for precise and reliable electrical control. The removable control pack gives you more flexibility with mounting by adding the control pack relocation kit (sold separately). This lets you mount it in the bumper or other compact spaces.
And don’t worry if you stop the winch in use. Warn uses its six-segment cone brake that will hold the winch’s full-rated load. This means that however steep or deep the situation, the winch can hold the entire weight of the load capacity and not slip.
But Wait, There’s More!
With over 75 years of experience in the industry and a legendary reputation for reliability, Warn believes in its products. This means that the ZEON XD carries the best warranty in the business – a limited lifetime warranty on mechanical components, and seven-year warranty on electrical parts. That is the kind of peace of mind that you only get with a Warn winch. There is a reason the automotive industry, like Ford motors, partners with Warn - they are the leaders in quality and innovation. Learn more about the ZEON XD line at www.warn.com.
