I've always used a short axle strap around the lower front control arm closest to the ball joint assembly, then a ratchet strap and ratchet to the trailer loop/tie down. Front left to front left, front right to front right. In the rear, I use a short axle strap around the rear axle assembly, cross the ratchet straps left rear to right rear and vice versa. Snug the straps down, release the emergency brake and remove shifter from whatever gear you left it in. Tighten the straps down, then reset the emergency brake, while leaving the transmission out of gear. I have towed many vehicles, both in open and enclosed trailers, for 10's of thousands of miles without an incident....Get yourself some quality hardware, 10,000lb straps and ratchet assemblies (why take chances to save yourself $40-$50), and go from there.
