Not sure how many folks keep a winch or tow ropes in their car. I'd expect it with most pickup / jeep owners, but the average driver, probably not.
I decided to use some the vast space in my Outback to store a come-along and 60 feet of tow ropes.

The tow ropes are most like seat belt style and have a 6000lb capacity.

Last weekend, I did a test at a park and experimented as to the manual winch force to pull my car around. Didn't take too much effort with brakes applied even.
Some of you may do this on a regular basis or have experience in such, but it's all new to me!
