Tow Hook?

Anyone put on a tow hook yet? Looks like the whole grill might have to come out. Not sure.

In case you didn't get an owners manual, on the passenger side of the upper front grill the top section pulls out. Behind it is a cover that folds out leaving the towing eye. Screw in the tow hook clockwise.

Pull on it. Look closely and you'll see it's a handle.

No there is no handle on the grill. I did figure it out though.

For those of you wondering like I did here is what I recommend.

Get a tool that has a hook to it that will fit through the grill.
In the upper left part of the front grill put the tool through the grill and the very top of the grill.
Pull on the tool to fold the top of the grill down to expose the door to the tow hook.

I have a black plastic piece in the upper left part of the front grill that I pull out with my fingers. It's attached to a flimsy plastic tail with a triangular head at the end that threads through a notch in the grill.

Yes. But there is really not easy to grab. I recommend using a tool with a hook.

That's true. First time I pulled it out I thought I was going to break something on the grill.
