In simple terms, a tow hook is an essential piece of recovery equipment that is attached to a vehicle and is used to pull a bogged vehicle to safety.

Do tow hooks fit all cars?

No, tow hooks are not universally designed to fit all types of cars. There are a variety of recovery tow hooks that can all vary in factors such as size, coating, weight, type and purpose. When it comes to knowing which tow hook is best for your vehicle, understanding the thread size will play a huge role. Below we have provided a breakdown of the most important factors to consider when choosing the right type of tow hook for your vehicle.

How to choose the right tow hook?

• Weight: You must make sure that the tow hook you are considering is rated for the weight of your vehicle or the vehicle that needs to be recovered. Never use a tow hook that is not rated well above your vehicle's weight.
• Coating: Another important factor to consider is the coating around the tow hook. You ideally will want a tow hook that has a durable coating to make sure it is protected against rust, which is usually a powder coating.
• Type: And one of the most important factors when looking for a tow hook is making sure you have the right type of tow hook! Is a D-ring going to get the job done or is a traditional hook needed?
