A hole in the front bumper grille of some Lexus models is designed for attaching a tow hook in certain Lexus models where there is a designated hole or attachment point in the front bumper grille area. This hole is intended for attaching a tow hook or towing eyelet

Imagine this: you’re driving down the road, enjoying a leisurely weekend trip, when suddenly your car starts making strange noises. Moments later, it comes to a grinding halt. What do you do? If you’re equipped with a Lexus and have the tow hook in your trunk, you’re one step ahead.


Purpose of the Tow Hook:

The tow hook serves as a secure point for towing the vehicle in case it breaks down or needs to be moved. It provides a safe and stable connection for a tow truck or another vehicle to pull the Lexus when necessary.

It is recommended that Lexus owners check if the tow hook is still present in the trunk of the vehicle. Many manufacturers provide a dedicated location in the trunk or cargo area where the tow hook is stored when not in use



Having the tow hook readily available is crucial in case of emergencies or breakdowns. If the vehicle needs to be towed, using the correct attachment point and tow hook ensures that the towing process is safe and doesn’t cause damage to the vehicle.

When using a tow truck or another vehicle for towing, it’s essential to ensure that the tow hook being used matches the specific design and attachment point in the Lexus. Using the correct equipment helps prevent further damage and ensures a secure tow.
