I've done this quite a few times and it usually works. Nowadays, I don't strap people out, I just use the winch.
Strapping is violent and jerky with tons of forces being applied all in an instant. Winching is slow, more easily controlled, methodical, and in my experience usually works much better.

i agree except reverse is the lowest ratio which would be good for pulling..my dmax was that way, maybe the titan is not
