Tow Hooks and Towing
Front tow hooks are mounted on either front or rear bumper. Attaching chains, cables, or ropes to these hooks allow towing another vehicle. Pickup trucks, race cars, SUVs have rear tow hooks to attach a tow. Thread sizes for hooks differ by vehicle weight. Tow hooks distribute force along frame, hold chains/straps securely. Use hooks made for your car model. Cars come with hooks from the manufacturer. Front hooks pull vehicles from ditches. Rear hooks enable towing from behind.
Types of Tow Hooks on Cars
Modern cars, especially ones designed for towing purposes, often come with a tow hook in the trunk or a front tow hook pre-installed. However, not all vehicles come equipped with them, especially older cars. Pickup trucks, race cars, and SUVs often have rear tow hooks or frame rails to attach a tow.
Efficient Towing with Tow Hooks
A tow hook is a metal ring that is strong enough to handle the car being towed by it. Most cars nowadays have the tow hook hidden behind a small cover in the bumper. You remove the cover and screw in the tow hook. Now you have a place to attach a tow line. Heavy-duty car towing hooks are among of the most reliable designs and can handle the roughest jobs. On any track, they can assist with the recovery of other vehicles in the event of an emergency.
