tow hooks

Vehicle pulling points

Tow hooks are metal loops or brackets mounted on a vehicle's frame, designed for attaching tow straps or cables to pull the vehicle when stuck or disabled.

Most trucks and off-road vehicles have front and rear tow hooks as standard equipment: We hooked the winch cable to the tow hooks and pulled the Jeep out of the mud.
