2020 Rav4 owners… where are the tow hooks hiding

I checked the manual but still can’t find them… anyone know where they are

If your VIN starts with a J, look behind the front bumper covers.

If it starts with a number, sorry but you don’t have any.

You don’t have a tow hook, so you’ll need another way to attach stuff. What do you need it for anyway

I gotta pull out some bushes in my yard. The city sent warnings to a bunch of us. From what I read, tying a line to the car and yanking them out seems easiest. Any idea where I can tie the line

Don’t do that with a Rav4. Just rent a truck or something sturdier.

@Zorion
got it… thanks for the heads up

Maybe ask your neighbors what they’re doing and split the cost with them.

American-made Rav4s don’t come with tow hooks. Only the ones made in Japan have them (for securing the car during shipping).

that makes no sense… how are you supposed to tow it then

Check the back hatch. There should be a tow hook in one of the side compartments. Then look for covers on the front bumper—pop them off and screw in the hook.
