The WARN VRX 45-S winch: Now featured on the 2025 Kawasaki Teryx KRX4 1000 Lifted Edition
If you’re buying a new Kawasaki UTV, there’s a chance you’re going to get a WARN winch with it as standard equipment. For example, the 2025 Kawasaki Teryx KRX4 1000 Lifted Editionincludes the WARN VRX 45-S winch as standard equipment to this super-capable UTV, which is purpose-built for wet and muddy conditions. You’ll be able to ride with confidence knowing that if (and when) you get stuck, you’ll have a WARN winch with 4,500 lbs. of capacity to pull you out. But that’s not the only WARN-equipped Kawasaki.
The new Kawasaki RIDGE side x side, with its all-new 999cc four-cylinder engine, also comes with a WARN VRX-45 or VRX 45-S winch, depending on the model purchased. The RIDGE is available in a few versions including the Ranch Edition, HVAC, and Limited HVAC. For those who’d like to upgrade to a WARN AXON 45, they’ll bolt up to the RIDGE’s winch mounts, and can be bought from Kawasaki.
It's not just these two models that have factory-installed winches. Here is the full list of Kawasaki side x sides which come standard with WARN winches:
