It is the thermometric indicator built into the remote. Every winch has a duty cycle, and the way most people find its edge is by cooking a motor on a long recovery. The 16.5ti tells you where you are instead, reading motor temperature back to your hand so you know when to pause rather than guessing. Around that sits the ti-series' extreme-duty sealing to keep water and grit out of the places that end winches, a Gen II 4.6 hp series-wound motor, a 315:1 three-stage planetary gearbox and 90' of 7\/16\" aircraft-grade wire rope. The remote also carries an integrated flashlight, which sounds like a gimmick until the recovery happens after dark.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's Included:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarn 16.5ti winch with 16,500 lb rated line pull\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e90' of 7\/16\" aircraft-grade wire rope, factory spooled\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoller fairlead\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemote switch with 12' lead, thermometric indicator, S2 elements and integrated flashlight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContactor control pack with aluminum solenoid housing cover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 gauge, 72\" battery leads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarn operator's manual and mounting hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThermometric Indicator: The Winch Tells You When to Stop\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe remote carries a thermometric readout that reports motor temperature back to the operator. Every electric winch has a thermal limit, and most people discover it the expensive way in the middle of a long pull.

Water, mud and grit reaching the motor, the gearbox or the brake are what actually kill winches, and the 16.5ti is built to keep them out.

In practice that means 23.6 ft\/min with no load at 68 amps, and it still moves at 3.24 ft\/min pulling its full 16,500 lb rating.

The hubs turned into winches, and the winches turned Warn into the name that off-roaders, ranchers, utility fleets and search-and-rescue crews reach for when something has to come out of somewhere it should not be. The ti-series sits at the top of the truck line, and Warn designs, engineers and assembles it in Clackamas, Oregon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat separates Warn from the price-led end of the winch market is that it treats a winch as a safety device rather than an accessory. Series-wound motors, real cone brakes, sealed contactor control packs and gear trains rated for the number printed on the box are the reason decades-old Warn winches still pull. It is also why Warn publishes full pull-by-layer and amp-draw tables instead of a single headline figure, and why the mechanical side of the warranty runs for the life of the product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrestige Truck is an authorized Warn dealer. Every winch we sell is new, factory-boxed, covered by the full Warn factory warranty, and supported through Warn's own dealer network.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Warn","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48932737253620,"sku":"68801","price":2677.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0805\/4784\/0244\/files\/warn-16-5ti-winch-68801-front-elevation-steel-rope-roller-fairlead.jpg?v=1785262660","url":"https:\/\/prestigetruck.com\/products\/warn-16-5ti-thermometric-self-recovery-winch-16500-lb-90-ft-steel-rope-68801","provider":"Prestige Truck","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
