Some of the ones on Amazon are "kinetic recovery straps". They stretch which makes a massive difference in recovery ability. If a truck is trying to pull out a similar sized vehicle truly buried to the axles, it will liikely be impossible with a conventional strap. The strap will either brake, or the tow rig will spin its wheels. With a kinetic strap, the strap stretches storing up lots of potential energy from the tow rigs hit pulling it with a running start. This momentarily applies tremendous force to the towed vehicle to get it rolling. In this way, a far smaller vehicle can pop a far larger vehicle out of a rut.
So, if you are towing you may want a tow strap that doesn't stretch like this cheap one posted, but I'd always recommend a large safety factor. I would not personally choose to approach the manufacturer's maximum rating. If I were needing to pull a 7000lbs. vehicle for some reason, I'd personally look at 3" or 4" straps over 2" ones. I used to live near a beach you could drive on, and I've seen a lot of these cheap 2" straps break. They don't handle dynamic loads well.
If you have a strap in a vehicle on the off chance it gets stuck, you probably want a recovery strap. These are high value for the money:

Doesn't look like Home Depot or Husky Tool...that should be a huge HINTZ to what you might be getting.
Good straps, handy to keep 2 in my pickup.
I guess $13 is now the 'deal' price.
For reference, a similar strap (but only 6k rated) is $16.99 at Harbor Freight... and I trust HD Husky as a better brand.

What is the difference between these and the straps on Amazon for around the same price? Some of those claim up to 20,000 pounds break strength. This one says for vehicles up to 7000 lb.
