Well here is my thinking.
My truck is 7400 empty, trailer will be around 5500 with equipment only. So I am looking at about 12900 lbs total.
Everything that I have read states that 1/3 of a strap's break strength is it's working load. So if I have a strap rated to 36,000 break strength, I will have a strap at the lower limit capable of handling my truck and trailer together. A 40,000 pound strap would be better.
I will be traveling to some rough job sites and if I ever get stuck, it would be nice to know I have a strap I can hook up to some other heavy equipment to pull me out.
