I've had tow straps fail where they were sewed. The stitching rotted while sitting in my pickup over the course of several years. I've since gone to a tow chain. When straps or rope break they tend to snap and anything that is attached, like a hook, flies also. With a chain if they break they tend to fall to the ground.

The down side is they are heavy, tend to rust, or leave oil stains on the carpet of the vehicle. I currently use a logging chain with both chain hooks and large hooks on each end. This setup hasn't failed me and seems to be fairly universal.

Take Care and Stay Safe,


P.S. Merry Christmas
