I am thinking about putting a winch in my trailer to help in loading my car. Unfortunately, due to my extreme patience, the understanding tone in my voice and overall easy going nature, my wife will no longer help guide me into the trailer or give me a moan-back. Plus, it is so tight that once in the trailer getting out of the car is quite a trick in contortionism.

A couple of my Formula buddies have winches in their trailers but their cars weight under 1000#. Does anyone have a recommendation of how to calculate the rating necessary to pull my 2300# RX-7 up the beavertail on my 24' enclosed?

TIA
