Can I use a tow strap for everyday flat towing?

Most static recovery straps are designed for short-duration recoveries and emergency towing rather than continuous highway flat towing. Forum threads from Tacoma and Jeep communities note that long-distance towing on a strap can chafe the webbing and is generally a legal gray area in many states. For frequent flat towing, a rigid tow bar or proper tow dolly is the better tool.
