    Tow Hooks

    Add an anchor point to pull stuck vehicles out of mud, snow, or ditches. Mount these hooks to a bumper or trailer and then attach a tow strap or chain. The maximum trailer weight is the total weight being towed.
    Note: Capacity is reduced 25% in off-road use.

    Single Hooks

    Double Hooks

    Double Hooks—Double hooks bolt to both sides of a vehicle for balanced towing. You can also use only one of the hooks to tow, but someone must counter-steer in the towed vehicle to keep it in a straight line.
    Powder-Coated Steel—Powder-coated steel hooks offer more corrosion resistance than uncoated steel in wet environments.
