How Do You Tow a Car With a Truck Strap?

Towing a car with a truck strap is not as difficult as it may sound. However, it does require some preparation and knowledge of the process. It may seem daunting but can be done safely with the right equipment and technique.

First, you will need to secure the car to be towed safely to the truck. A heavy-duty tow strap should be used for this task.

It should be at least two inches wide and have a load capacity of at least 10,000 pounds. The strap should also have a safety latch or loop on one end that can be attached to the truck’s trailer hitch.

Next, you will need to attach the other end of the tow strap to the car’s frame. Use caution when attaching it as this could cause damage if done incorrectly. Make sure that all of the connecting points are secure and tight before proceeding.

Once everything is attached correctly, start your truck’s engine and shift into reverse. Slowly begin backing up while gently pressing on the accelerator until you feel a slight tug from the car being towed.

When you reach your destination, turn off your truck’s engine and release both ends of the tow strap from their respective attachments. Make sure that all connecting points are properly released before unhooking them.

Conclusion:
Towing a car with a truck strap is not difficult if you have the right equipment and know how to do it properly. Always use caution when attaching or releasing any part of the tow strap and never exceed its load capacity. With careful planning and execution, you can successfully tow a car with a truck strap without any problems.
