Winching doesn't give shock loads like snatch straps, more a gentle constant pull. So 4500 would do for a standard prado and never use it snatching. I run 10000 myself however as its what I found at the time at the supplier I used. If you feel you may ever need to use the extension for a snatch (And you likely will) I'd get higher rating. I recall once having to snatch a Patrol out that drove onto a sloppy salt pan.. We had 12 x 20 mtr winch extension straps on him as you couldn't get a car near him.

Winching load will vary depending on surface, depth of bog, incline and free movement of wheels. Regardless of which WLL you choose consider a winch extension rope instead of strap. You can't use Strap through a pulley. Use of a pulley or multiple pulley blocks also reduces the load on the winch.
