Recommended Tie-Down Straps for Transporting TrailBlazer and Traverse on Car Hauler Trailer
Question:
im planning on towing a 2006 trailblazer ss awd with 20inch wheels on a open bumper pull car trailer and looking for a strong strap to hold all four tires down safely 2300 miles and possibly bring a 2012 chevrolet traverse fwd with 17inch tires and wheels back across to jasper ga on the same trailer. thanks a bunch.

The Erickson Ratchet Tie-Down Strap with Web Clamp and Snap Hooks, part # EM58501 that you referenced, is suitable for your application to secure a vehicle to your flat car hauler trailer by its tow hooks, but we also offer shorter straps like their 7-foot Car Tie Down # 58503 which also has hooks on both ends. To use either of these you'll need tie-down hooks on the deck of the trailer. If you need D-Ring tie downs you can use # LRB1 from Brophy.
If you prefer you can use 4 axle straps to grab the vehicle rather than the tow hooks. If so you'll instead use four of part # 08504-05, which includes the above tie down plus an axle strap.
