Recommended Tow Straps for Car Hauler Trailer
Question:
Which is the best brand of tow strap you handle? Erickson or Bulldog? I am looking for straps that are easy to use as I have a car that I haul on occasion and have the old conventional 3 in nylon straps that are hard to release.

Since the cost of four of the Erickson Car Tie Down Kit # 08504-05 is close to that of the Bulldog 4-piece set, I would go for the Bulldog kit # BDW20230. For the couple of extra dollars you get not only 10-foot straps rather than 7-footers, but you also get the carry bag to keep everything in order.
