Ummm........ok




You need to up your specs from the F450 just a tad if you want to have a PRAYER to pull that. There is a reason its loaded on an RGN in the pic. It would however either pull out a stuck vehicle or pull it in half doing it.

HD Strap

This is what I use, I've yet to not yank someone out on a 2nd pull, the stored energy in this is huge if you have a truck that weights enough. I've seen little toyotas on 37s pull out sunk superduties on 38s and more with one yank. It's all about using kinetic energy. Make the vehicle work for you, not against you.

$272 That thing is expensive. I got my strap for much much less. I've only had to use it once, so maybe if I was a hardcore off roader it might be more economically feasible.

That was a freebie from work. We spend so much time on jobsites that they issue recovery straps. We order in bulk for our 25K lb F-550s so us 1/2 and 3/4 ton users get the bennies.
