Default Front Recovery Points

Snow is starting in my neck of the woods. If my LX600 was involved in a recovery, I'm quite certain it would be the one DOING the recovering.

However, it got me thinking. I know its a luxury vehicle, but with so much attention paid to it being off-road worthy, why no front recovery points?

Where would you attach a kinetic rope in a pinch if someone had to pull you out? Everyone says not to use the front axle...

First off, I suggest not using a $100k vehicle to go around the neighborhood pulling people out of the snowbanks. Go buy a 1991 Ford F-250 4x4 and have fun.

Secondly, if you really do need to start pulling people out with your LX, I suggest you look under the front facia and the rear bumper. There are 3 recovery points in the front and 1 in the rear.

New to this platform - thank you. I was asking for the purposes of being pulled out, not the other way around, really. That would be obvious - use the receiver hitch. I didn't even think to look under the front facia because both articles I came across said there were no recovery points in the front. But now that I read them more carefully, I think they meant integrated recovery points ON the front bumper.

@Chewie09 The 3 front recovery points and the 1 rear recovery point are all connected to the frame of the vehicle.

The ARB front recovery points for the LC300 should in theory work for the LX600. Along with a receiver hitch with a shackle, you should be good to go.
