Deaths from towballs

[BigRAWesty]

I think factory or aftermarket hooks are more dangerous compared to a tow bar rigid mounted on rear of the chassis.Seen lots of cars with hooks welded on the front bumper.That font bumper lots of people made and install just for look,not thinking about rigid connection between bumper and chassis.

That's why you should always purchase rated recovery points.
Outback ideas (vendor here) do a great set and are rated for pulling. Not lifting like some others do
