The WARN AXON 45 is a 4,500 lb powersports winch built for real recovery situations. Originally designed for UTVs and Side-by-Sides, it's the right size for Subaru crossovers running the WARN semi-hidden winch mount. Waterproof, all-metal construction, and digital controls that show you load and motor temperature in real time.

Why the AXON 45?

Most Subaru owners don't need an 8,000 lb truck winch. The AXON 45 gives you enough pulling power to self-recover from mud, sand, or a ditch without adding unnecessary weight to your front end. The 4,500 lb capacity handles a stuck crossover without breaking a sweat, and the compact size fits behind your bumper in WARN's semi-hidden mount systems.

Features

  • 4,500 lb pulling capacity
  • Motactor technology combines motor and contactor for faster installation and better performance
  • Digital controls display load weight and motor temperature
  • Built-in load limiter prevents damage from overloading
  • IP68 waterproof rating keeps mud and water out
  • All-metal three-stage planetary gear train
  • Load-holding mechanical brake for controlled lowering
  • Clutch design based on WARN's 4WD hub lock technology
  • Black powder coat finish with stainless steel fasteners

Installation

Requires a compatible winch mount with 3.0" x 6.59" bolt pattern (76.2mm x 167.4mm). For Subaru applications, use the WARN semi-hidden winch mount for your specific vehicle. Wiring runs to your battery with included switch and remote. Plan for a few hours if you're installing both the mount and winch together.
