The “XP” name tag was designated by WARN to stand for “Extreme Performance”, which I suppose is what you’re getting when you buy this. Sure,… Sounds great, but is it better than it’s less expensive competitors?
Your typical options in this category would be as follows (Prices are as 27/7/11 from the ElectricWinchShop.co.uk):

So, as you can see, even at these discounted prices the Warn winch is over double it’s nearest comparible rival. For that kind of money you must be serious about your winching and offroading, also happy that it’s worth the extra hard cash. Will it outlast 2 Superwinch Talon winches? Will it outlast 3 Champion C9500EWX winches??!!! It’d be hard to say for sure without having a few years spare to find out I guess, so for now we’ll have to trust Warn are pricing their products based upon actual winch quality and features rather than just the branding! Having said that,.. if you’re serious about offroading, the big red “W” on the front of your winch usually let’s people know!
