Rear tow point

Quiz · 05-10-2011, 12:45 PM

I can't find a rear tow point listed in the owners manual that uses the factory supplied eye bolt that is used in the front. Is this an omission or is there truly no rear tow point. Also, if there is not a rear tow point what is under the square body piece just above the rear non-functional fog light?

Yes there is one in the place you specified near the butthole (rear fog light).

Ok then...thanks! Anyone ever use it or know how it pops out? It looks like you would pry it open from the bottom...but I wouldn't want to snap it off!

Here is a photo with the cover removed to show there is no anchor point for the towing eye bolt. Lame.

OMG I cannot believe that you got that many posts before somebody said it didn't exist. Sorry bud. I've talked with a couple people here that may build a bracket and towhook that would mount there. If they do you still would have to drill out the platic cover as leaving it off would look terrible. Search the forum every soo often to see if anybody posts there rear tow hook mod. Here is a pic of my front.

Ken there is a loop on the left rear frame. You are not wrong. It is not mentioned in the owners manual. However we are talking about a point to mount a towhook that would stickout a little. Just a little more bling LOL

Use that aperture for a rear view camera instead.
