Question:
I know there is one on driver side. Why is there not a mate on the right side? My Toyota service guy shrugged, tapped a small muffler support and said, “I guess that’s where they’d hook up on this side.” ?????

Expert Reply:
I have a solution for you. Even though there is not a tow hook attachment location on the passenger's side, one solution is to weld the Safety Chain U-Loop for Trailer Hitch - Weld-On # 362ChainLoopU onto the same frame location on the passenger's side of the vehicle as the hook your driver's side. Also, for a solution that doesn't require welding, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13149 has an eye to hook up straps/hooks as well.
