I got it at Northern Tools for $360 (http://www.northerntool.com/webapp/wcs/s..._200197824).
I already had a spare deep cycle battery, so if you don't have one of those figure another 120ish. Or you can run #2 wire from your trucks battery to the rear and pickup some high amp connectos for about $30 each. Oh and for an open trailer you'd want to make a removable mount for the winch, so figure another $20-$50 to make that yourself.
Its a 3700lb winch which is more than enough to pull a 3,000lb car up ramps that still rolls.
