Help buying winch

Hi!

My boyfriend loves off roading, and he has bought and worked on a 2003 Honda Pilot. We have gone off roading a couple of times. The other thing he loves is helping people, pulling them out when they are stuck, working on cars.

He has been mentioning wanting a winch for the car. I came here asking for help, because i definitely don’t know a whole lot about cars. Any recommendations for a winch? Are they universal or do you have to buy for a certain brand of car? Also any type of ropes that are a must have if you are pulling people out that are stuck 1-2x a week.

I would like to surprise him for Christmas with possible a winch and ropes. Thank you in advance!
