Tow Rope or Strap

yea, because nothing beats supersonic steel flying at you when it breaks.....VVV

 

go to a marine supply store or a good rigging retail outlet, get 30- 40 ft of rope, you will be able to pick and choose what SWL (safe working load) you need . much more versitile than a nylon strap. Learn how to tie a bowline knot and your good to go. I carry 40 ft of 5/8 power braid, I've had it for 20 plus years, that rope has put a lot of vehicles back on the road

A snatch rope is better for recovery than any strap or chain. I I have used them all, and snatch rope is a better choice.

 

If I manage to break my 5/8" 80 grade chain while towing my Tacoma, well...

I only use it when something heavy can tow me out (Think bulldozer or similar). For a pickup to pickup tow, a recovery strap is used.
