Check out the Winching & Recovery section.
did a search in the 200 forum, nothing really came up. never ever had and issue with a tow strap breaking with my 4runners and pickup truck.
I have the bushranger snatch strap as well as a generic heavy duty tow rope kept as a spare or for towing broke down vehicles.
As well a kinetic rope such as the bubba rope or master pull mainly used for bogged down vehicles, which feels like it takes a load of stress off the vehicle when snatching.
Did you check the ratings on your tow straps? Try to get the ones rated for 12,000lbs or higher.

The tow straps that i broke were both rated for 18,000 lbs. Both of them broke pulling out logs/stumps from the yard. It seems like the same rated tow strap can range from $20 to $80 depending on the brand
I wondering if the bigger/heavier 200 series cruisers need a substantially bigger tow strap than my previous toyotas
Aha then moving "immobile" objects you should probably steer clear away from any kinetic/stretchy rope as they'll probably stretch out then just snap. With tree stumps do you pit tension on the rope then gradually accelerate or do you drive off and try to yank it out?
This will solve your problem real easy
