I am curious about pulling someone out or being pulled out myself if the need arises. Going on a winter trip and it's been awhile since I've driven in the snow. Don't know what is fact or fiction.
Heres the info I have been given over the years.
1. I have heard to never use the straps with the metal hooks.
2. I have heard only use the straps with loops.
3. I have heard for a car with no rear hitch (like me) attach the strap to the rear axel area. But I have also heard not to do that. Some say pull from the frame instead.
4. Some have said the front tow hooks should not be used and that they are cosmetic. But some say just throw the loop of the strap over the hook and you'll be fine. Others say use the hook but loop the whole strap over it not the loop at the end of the strap.

Can the experts chime in.
