We have had so much rain and where we park is dirt and gravel. I worry about getting stuck in the mud. Is there a rear tie down loop I can use for pulling the car out of the mud if necessary? I can find the one on the front but can't find anything on the rear.

 

There are manufacture tow hooks used in shipping. Watch the following video for location if they haven't been removed by a previous owner.

There I tie-downs and tow hooks. Both allow tethering opportunity but only tow hooks should be use to pull [pull something or get pulled].

By default there is no tow hook on first gen RX, but there are tie-downs. In a pinch, I would suggest use both to split the pulling force. I removed the rear tie-down and installed the hitch, and I had to use an extra bolt and the hitch got attached to both the left and the right side.

I checked and both of the rear tie down hooks are missing. I wouldn't mind replacing them If I can find a source. The local PnP doesn't have any so if anyone knows where I can get them let me know.

 

I think I have mine in the garage somewhere. I'll take a look and see if I can find them.

 

I too have a set.

 

If you want to sell them let me know.
