I have just become aware that my Camry (made in Kentucky) does not come with any tow hooks like my mazda3 does. Searched the internet, it is clear that gen 7 Camry made in USA does not have any tow hooks.
Some said to use control arm, some said there are elongated holes on body rail on the front. Some said to add hitch, of which I looked at the recommended attach points in the rear. The body rail in the rear is not reinforced, the shell is thin, and I don't believe it will be able to sustain reasonable forces.
Apparently this has been a trend for car makers to not include tow hooks or not design for tow hooks either.
How do we manage a tow or recovery/rescue? Any experiences? Please share.
