Front tow hook?

[David C]

Ah, I'm pretty sure that if I'd ever need mine, I'd have a hard time threading it into the chassis hole, since it's been rusting away for 10 years behind that silly plastic cap.

I could measure the thread and length of mine if it helps.

I wouldn't know what's long enough to fit off the top of my head I just figured any Toyota one would work fine (Camry, corolla, etc)

Sure yeah that would be a good help! Needed it last couple days too. Pushing cars is a pain

How in the heck do you get stuck with your car ? My Yaris goes in and out of everything everywhere. Tire selection maybe ?

Someone posted a size, however should also specify for which body style, model year and country.

I could sell you mine if it fits, I'll never use it anyway.

That's what I thought until I got stuck for the first time in early Feb. If you never leave your urban confines, then yes you'll never need it. Once you go rural, it's a whole new ball game.

It's like those boxes that never get unpacked for years after moving. Days after you decide to give the shit to charity, you suddenly need something that was in there.

Hehe, I've done a fair share of remote driving and off road trails with this car already. Been in deep snow, ice roads, frozen lakes, snowy mountain trails, etc. and even if I ever got stuck, rarely would there have been someone around to pull me out. And there's more than plenty Yaris bodies at the junkyards here for me to buy another tow hook. I just thought the op might not want a junkyard rusted tow hook if he'll end up using it often whereas mine would keep quiet in the back.

To the OP, I can buy you one from the junkyard and shop it to you if you can't find any locally. However, if you look on Amazon or eBay, you should easily find strap or eye bolt tow hook with the thread you need for cheaper than what it would cost to buy one at the yard and have it shipped.

They don't appear to be universal for all Toyota's as ebay listings for replacement hooks state they are compatible with specific models like the 05-16 RAV4, 01-06 Camry, 05 and up Yaris, etc. The models listed appear to be the only models for sale in Europe but they do omit models for sale in Europe like the Aygo, Auris, etc as well as North America models like the Corolla.

There also seems to be many Chinese made aluminum options available.
