Kinetic Rope Size

[astroboy]

What size is optimal for our trucks? Thinking of purchasing a Kinetic Rope just in case the need arises when I am on the trails. I looked it up and it seems like the suggested size is 7/8 X 20. Any input as to which size I should get?

You might look on Youtube. They work great, but I think 7/8s is fine.

I did. It seems that different manufacturers have different suggestions with the sizing needed for our truck.

Is rope better than strap?

Two different tools. A strap is for towing. A kinetic rope is for recovery.

Yup, what he said. Opting for a rope, for in case there is a need for towing. There is always AAA anyways.

Should I go with 20 for length or 30? I have no experience in using kinetic ropes, so I cannot tell which one is more practical to have.

You don't tow with a kinetic rope. You tow with a strap. A kinetic rope is for recoverying a stuck vehicle.

I meant for recovery. Although I hope I would never have the need to use one. But it's good to have one just in case.
