Features
- 12,000 lb rated line pull: Warn rates the VR EVO 12-S at 12,000 lb of line pull, driven through a 3-stage planetary geartrain at 234:1.
- 90' of 3/8" synthetic rope: The VR EVO 12-S comes spooled with 90' of 3/8" synthetic rope and a black hawse fairlead; synthetic rope is lighter and easier to handle than steel, Warn says.
- Two-in-one remote: The VR EVO 12-S remote has both wired and wireless controls, so you can run the winch on the cord or without it.
- Sealed Albright contactor: Warn fits the VR EVO 12-S with a sealed Albright contactor and rates the winch IP68 waterproof.
- Cast-aluminum tie plate: A rugged one-piece cast-aluminum tie plate adds strength to the VR EVO 12-S, and its control pack can be relocated for a low-profile install.
- Spring brake and free spool: An automatic spring brake holds the load on the VR EVO 12-S, and the clutch free-spools the rope out by hand.
Description & Fitment
The Warn VR EVO 12-S (103255) is a 12-volt standard-duty recovery winch rated at 12,000 lb of line pull. It comes with 90' of 3/8" synthetic rope, a black hawse fairlead and a two-in-one remote that works wired or wireless. Warn calls the VR EVO line the hardest-working standard-duty winches it offers, rates it IP68 waterproof, and backs it with a limited lifetime mechanical and seven year electrical warranty. Vehicle fit comes from the Warn winch mount, carrier or winch-ready bumper it bolts to, sold separately.
Fitment & Compatibility

About Warn
Warn Industries is a winch and recovery equipment maker headquartered in Clackamas, Oregon. Its range covers truck and SUV winches such as ZEON and the Heavyweight series, the AXON, VRX and R-Series powersports winches, the HUB Wireless Receiver and the portable Drill Winch.
Warn builds vehicle-specific steel bumpers in several lines: the Ascent and heavier Ascent HD front bumpers for full-size and mid-size pickups, the Elite series, and low-profile Semi-Hidden winch mounts. Warn says every one of its bumpers goes through field and pull testing for rigidity, and most are designed, tested and built in the USA.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will it fit my vehicle?
Fit comes from the mount. The VR EVO 12-S bolts to a Warn winch mount, winch carrier or winch-ready bumper made for your vehicle and drilled for its 10" x 4.5" four-bolt pattern. The mount is sold separately.
Synthetic or steel rope?
This is the synthetic-rope VR EVO 12-S with a hawse fairlead. The VR EVO 12 (103254) is the same capacity with steel rope and a roller fairlead.
Does it come with a mount?
No. Warn sells winch mounts, carriers and winch-ready bumpers separately; the mount for your vehicle is what fits the winch.
Is a remote included?
Yes. The VR EVO 12-S comes with a two-in-one remote that works wired or wireless, so you can run the winch on the cord or without it.
What does the line pull rating mean?
Warn rates line pull on the first layer of rope on the drum. Pull drops as more layers of rope build up, so use a snatch block for heavy recoveries.
How is it covered?
Warn gives these winches a limited lifetime mechanical and seven year electrical warranty. Keep your order receipt and contact us to start a claim.
