TOW HOOK Points for 4th gen??

Okay. I really want to put a tow hook in the front of my maxima. I can't seem to find a tow point in the front though. I seen 2 in the back but none in the front. Do we have any in the front or am I just not looking right? please help.

FWIW, those loops you are calling tow points are not intended to be used for towing. They are tie down points for when the car is on a carrier of some kind. It is not clear if they can hold up to the pulling type stress that towing puts on them.

i will tell you something you may find hard to believe, but i have hooked many trees to them. 40-65 foot trees and used the maxima to pull the trees down.

many times a running start that through the car sideways when the tree wasn't cut enough. Those "tie down points" can take A LOT.

I use my 4 th gen as a truck
