I don't like hooks on straps. They make too good of a projectile if they come loose. I have straps with loops and a shackle for the hitch receiver. I also have two tow straps so I can loop them together and don't have to get too close to the vehicle to be pulled. You need to be extremely careful as some people will have the gas floored when you pull them out. Then they get traction and will ram you hard. When I used to have an FJ-40 with a winch, I always had them unlock the steering and just leave it in neutral to minimize the chance of being rammed.
