The General splits the difference between sport and utility, and a winch covers both sides: trail recovery on the weekend, chores during the week. This kit pairs the Viper MA11906T-General mount plate with your choice of V3 winch, the 4,500 lb standard spool or the 6,000 lb wide spool.
Why It Works on a General
- Mount plate built for 2016-2026 General 1000 models, all trims.
- Takes standard and wide 4-bolt patterns, so either V3 bolts on.
- Lifts a Denali General snow plow in winter.
- Wireless remote plus handlebar and dash switches.
- Black, blue or red rope.
4,500 or 6,000 lb?
- V3 4,500 standard spool: lighter and shorter, with 40 ft of rope. Plenty for self-recovery and lifting a Denali plow on most machines.
- V3 6,000 wide spool: adds $80, a wider drum and 60 ft of rope. A good pick for heavier machines, crew cabs with a loaded bed, or anyone who winches other people out.
Before Your First Pull
- Spool out the rope and re-spool it under light load so the layers seat tight.
- Keep at least five wraps on the drum during any pull.
- On a General XP 4 with passengers and gear, the 6,000 lb wide spool gives extra margin.
- Rinse mud and road salt off the winch after rides.
- Store the wireless remote somewhere dry in the cab so it is ready when you need it.
