What’s the difference between a recovery rope and a tow strap?

A recovery rope is kinetic—it stretches under tension to provide a smoother, more controlled recovery. Tow straps are static and best for pulling non-stuck vehicles.

Why use a kinetic recovery rope?

Kinetic ropes like Bubba Rope or ARB absorb shock during recovery, reducing stress on both vehicles and minimizing the risk of damage.

What length recovery rope do I need?

Most 4x4s and overland rigs perform best with 20–30 ft ropes rated at 2–3 times the vehicle’s weight capacity.
