When your buddy's ATV or side-by-side is buried in the mud, SuperATV's Ready Rope Retractable Tow Rope is the fastest way to hook up and pull them out. Traditional tow straps leave loose slack that tangles in tires and suspension and take forever to roll back up. This self-retracting UTV tow rope keeps constant tension on the line, so recovery takes seconds, not minutes, and reels back in on its own when the pull is done.
Built around 12 feet of 3/8" synthetic rope rated to 12,000 lb inside a sealed, water-resistant housing, the Ready Rope handles a 7,500 lb towing capacity for real off-road recovery.

FAQ
How does a retractable tow rope compare to a traditional tow strap for UTV recovery?
A retractable tow rope keeps constant tension on the line, preventing loose slack from getting tangled in tires or suspension during recovery. The Ready Rope retracts automatically after the pull, giving you faster hookups and eliminating the hassle of rolling up a muddy tow strap by hand.
What kind of weight can the Ready Rope Retractable Tow Rope handle?
The Ready Rope is rated for a 7,500 lb towing capacity. It uses a 12-foot, 3/8-inch synthetic rope with a 12,000 lb rating, giving you strength with controlled flex for real-world ATV and UTV recovery situations.
Will this tow rope fit my ATV or side-by-side?
Yes. The Ready Rope works with ATVs and UTVs and can be mounted using an optional 2-inch receiver hitch mount for universal compatibility. Any machine with a standard 2-inch receiver can use it, and you can move it between machines easily.
How hard is it to install the SuperATV Ready Rope?
Installation is straightforward and typically bolts directly to the Ready Rope hitch mount or another compatible mounting location. Basic hand tools are all you need, and downloadable instructions provide step-by-step guidance.
Is a retractable tow rope safe to use in mud, snow, or water?
Yes. The Ready Rope is sealed and water-resistant, allowing it to perform reliably in mud, snow, sand, and wet conditions. Constant tension reduces sudden jerks and slack snap-back for more controlled recoveries in unpredictable terrain.
Can I switch the Ready Rope between different machines?
Absolutely. With the optional hitch mount, the Ready Rope bolts directly to a 2-inch receiver and can be swapped between vehicles in minutes. You can run it on the front or rear or share it between multiple machines in your group.
