Expert Answers about Chevrolet Tie Down Straps


  • What is the Difference Between ShockStrap Ratcheting ATV and Motorcycle Tie-Down Kits
  • ShockStrap Ratcheting Tie-Down Kit w/ Built-In Shock Absorbers # 297-7RSBB-M comes with strap latches on the ends, which you can see more of in the video I have linked. The similar version, # 297-9RSBB-M, does not have those strap latches. The latches are to help keep tie-down hooks from detaching from their anchor points when there is slack in the line.

  • Is There a Difference Between ShockStrap Ratchet Motorcycle and UTV Tie-Downs
  • The only difference between the ShockStrap Ratchet UTV Tie-Downs with Shock Absorbers # 297-7RSBB-UTV and ShockStrap Ratchet Motorcycle Tie-Downs with Shock Absorbers # 297-7RSBB-M is the title, so people searching for either UTV or Motorcycle tie-downs can find them easier. So these are the same set of four 1-1/2" wide x 7' long straps with rubber-coated S-hooks with a 1,000 lbs working load limit (per strap). I have added a link to a video review for you to check out as well of the ShockStrap...

  • Difference In Working Load Limit Between CargoBuckle Tie-Downs
  • Although both systems have a strap that measures 2 inches X 6 ft, they have completely different mounting styles and that is why the difference in the WLL(safe working load limit) exists. The WLL is 1/3 of the maximum break strength of the system. As the attached photo shows, part # IMF18804, uses 4 bolts and a plate below the mounting surface it is attached to. The WLL is 1,167 lbs, and the breaking strength is 3,500 lbs for this tie-down. The CargoBuckle G3 Retractable Ratchet Straps,...

  • Comparing Bulldog Winch 13-Piece Ratcheting Vehicle Tie-Down Strap Set BDW20350 and BDW20351
  • You are correct. The # BDW20351 comes with 4 padded axle strap covers for paint protection while the # BWD20350 does not. Otherwise these strap kits are identical. Since you are planning to use this 2019 Corvette Grand Sport I would definitely choose the # BDW20351 with the padded covers to keep your vehicle protected.

  • Packem Wheel Control Versus Erickson Cargo Control For Polaris 800 Sportsman ATV
  • The Erickson ATV E-Track Tie-Down Kit, # EM09160, and the Pack'Em Wheel Tie-Down Kit, # PK-WTD, are fairly similar to one another when it comes to design. The Pack'Em kit is rated at 800lbs and Pack'Em recommends using a minimum of two straps per vehicle. The Erickson kit has a working load limit of 1,500lbs with two straps, or 750lbs per strap. The biggest difference is that the Pack'Em kit includes the mounting hardware. Both products have received great reviews and we have not had any...

  • What Is The Difference Between ShockStrap Ratchet Tie-Downs 297-7RSBB-UTV and 297-7RSBB-M?
  • The ShockStrap Ratchet UTV Tie-Downs w Shock Absorbers - 1-1/2" x 7' - 1,000 lbs - Qty 4 # 297-7RSBB-UTV and # 297-7RSBB-M are actually the exact same straps. Both of these kits include four straps, but a single strap can be purchased using # 297-7RSBB. The only reason there is two different part numbers is to allow them to show up in two different sections of our website. Since they are the exact same part you will just want to go with which ever is the most cost effective at the time. I...

  • Comparing Thule Cargo Control Options Surf Strap # TH531 and Load Straps with Cam Buckles # TH521
  • The Thule Express Surf Strap, part # TH531, is specialized for use in securing a surf board on Thule or other roof rack crossbars and works best when used in conjunction with one of their crossbar pads, such as part # TH802 intended for round and square bars. The pads help stabilize and protect your surf board or other cargo from scratches. The Thule 9-foot Load Straps, part # TH521, feature polypropylene straps and padded cam-action buckles but require you to thread the strap through...

  • Thule Portage or Yakima Keel Over Kayak Rack Recommendation
  • Between the Thule Portage # TH819 and the Yakima KeelOver part # Y04069 I would go with the Portage. It is going to be easier to use and secure since it has the ratcheting tie-downs that you referenced as the pulleys. That will make securing the bow/stern tie downs much easier. Aside from that the two carriers are pretty similar, but the edge goes to the Thule because of the ratchets.

  • Recommended Tow Straps for Car Hauler Trailer
  • 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.

  • Will BoatBuckle Kwik-Lok Strap IMF12065 Work With Trailer To Transom Hook Distance Of 13-3/4"?
  • I reached out to my contact at BoatBuckle and the BoatBuckle Kwik-Lok Transom Tie-Down Straps # IMF12065 you were looking at has a minimum length of around 8" and maximum length of 24" so it will work perfectly for the 13-3/4" measurement between the frame of your trailer and your transom hook. I included a video of the # IMF12065 for you to take a look at.

  • Cargo Tie Down Recommendations for 5x8 Enclosed Cargo Trailer
  • Between the three cargo tie-down anchors you referenced, parts # RR2K, # RR8K and # RR09, I would go with the # RR2K because it includes the reinforcing backing plate and because it offers you the choice of recessed or surface mounting. Since your cargo items just need to be secured inside the trailer, but not have their full weight held, these items should be fine. I can offer you another option to consider, one that might better suit the trailer and cargo items, but that will be up to...

  • How is the Storage Trunk for Malone Trailers # MPG481 Different from a Standard Storage Trunk
  • I couldn't find too much information regarding the part numbers that you referenced besides that those storage containers have wheels, their storage capacity, and that they came with straps to secure the containers. What sets the Storage Trunk for Malone Trailers # MPG481 apart from other storage trunks like it is that it is customized to fit directly in a Malone trailer's framework like part # MPG460G and it is made in the USA. It also comes with a 5-year warranty, a 9 foot tie-down...

  • Comparing etrailer Motorcycle Carrier and Ultra-Fab Dirt Bike Carrier
  • The etrailer Motorcycle Carrier # e98873 and Ultra-Fab Dirt Bike Carrier # UF48-979033 do have very similar designs as they are both intended to carry a motorcycle up to 500lbs. The both will fit a 2" receiver and include a ramp for easier loading and unloading. The etrailer Motorcycle Carrier # e98873 is the one I prefer as it has the outer tie down points, and the 40" diamond plate ramp. For me the longer, smooth ramp will make it easier to move the bike up and down the ramp. This carrier...

  • Comparing Covercraft and Camco RV Tire Storage Covers
  • If high winds during trailer storage time are a major concern then I would agree that the Camco Tire Covers # CAM45247, which have an elastic cord and adjustable strap, may be the better choice since you can snug them down. Their UV and water-resistant lining material pulls moisture away from your tires and wheels. If you don't mind adding some bungees or other tie-downs for extra security against wind you might still prefer the USA-made heavy-duty flannel-backed black vinyl construction...

  • Comparing Brophy Camper Tie Downs # HSSF and # HSAB
  • The Brophy Clamp On Camper Tie-Downs - Bed Mount - Black Powder Coated Steel - Qty 4 # HSSF and the Brophy Clamp On Camper Tie-Downs - Bed Mount - Black Powder Coated Steel - Qty 4 # HSAB will be equally strong. I reached out to my contact at the manufacturer and they said the tie down strength will be limited by your vehicle and that the only difference between these tie downs is the tab and where it connects. I've attached videos of both products for you.

  • Difference Between The Brophy Tie Downs TDSF and HSSF For a Camper Towed By a 2000 Ford F-150
  • I contacted our representative at Brophy about the differences between the Tie Down Anchor, part # TDSF, and the Camper Tie Down, part # HSSF. Part # TDSF can be used on campers that have a total length of up to 8 feet in length. Part # HSSF can be used on any size campers. Part # TDSF mounts into the stake pocket, where as part # HSSF mounts over the sidewall of the truck bed. Also, part # HSSF is ok to use in trucks with spray-in bed liners. If your truck has a drop-in bed liner, it...

  • Difference Between Brophy Tie-Down # RR06 And # RR6K
  • There is no difference between the D-Ring Tie Down, part # RR06 and the tie-down that is included in the # RR6K other than the backing plate and the mounting hardware. the D-Ring is the same for both of these items. These have a capacity of 6,000 lbs and a safe working load limit of 2,000 lbs. These are a bolt-on design. The recessed ring swivels 360 degrees. I have attached a photo of the tie-down that shows the dimensions you can check out.
