Tie down straps
I have a set of very heavy duty ratcheting e track tie down straps for my trailer l, but they are getting old/warn. I’ve bougjt a couple different sets on amazon to replace them but everything I buy ends up being not nearly as beefy. All I see are 2” ratcheting straps. Anyone know where to get real heavy duty E track straps?

I bought a couple sets from these guys for my trailer. I'm sure they'll have what you need. I thought the webbing was nicer than the Mac's I had previously and considerably cheaper.

I bought some replacement straps at Customtiedowns as well. They are great. Just have to look at the strength rating and width to make sure you're getting heavy duty ones to tie down a car.

Slightly off topic, but 98% of the time when I have heard of a car breaking loose on a trailer it is with etrack. I have etrack on the floor of my trailer but use the rings instead. I just don't trust the e track. Plus you can buy awesome heavy duty ratchet straps at Home Depot for cheap!

Another consideration for your question is the life span of straps. Don't wait to change them when they look skanky and worn. That is well beyond their duty cycle.
Treat your straps as consumables.
Constant tensioning and release is a wear factor.
Your picture shows an open trailer. Exposure to UV and elements accelerates aging exponentially compared to straps on an enclosed trailer.
I replace my straps at least every few years on my enclosed trailer regardless of appearance. The old ones become field spares (things break).
I like the MAC straps. Plenty of other good brands. I have stuck with something that I know.
