Garm has a couple models, if you want strength, go with NST (Nonstoptuning), if you want looks, he has a couple of them too.

My Yaris comes with this:

Spades · 05-18-2009, 02:41 AM

is none an option? if so, I vote none. the only time a tow hook doesnt look out of place or stupid is when its on a pickup or a 4 wheel drive rally car.

if you need a tow hook on your yaris, then you need to re-evaluate the terrain in which you are driving your econobox.

Or don't lower it and then try to drive up your drifted-in, unplowed street after the winters biggest storm (like me

). Hell, I made it the first 50 kilometers, only to struggle for the last 300 meters.

The hook in the tool-kit came in handy that day.

After I walked home and brought back the Escape (4WD), some neighbourly helpers with shovels and a tow rope.

I would never get a tow hook......I agree with spades it looks out of place AND I could rally see some punk kid or adult waking buy and stepping on it or doing whatever to damage the hook/car.

I saw those in a few photos here and wondered what they were. I figured they were some sort of "cute" addon to make it look like a wind up.

AlexNet0 · 05-18-2009, 01:11 PM

I had to use mine this past winter to get out of my parents driveway, had to be pulled up and over the hill we live on. If you saw the driveway you would understand, lol

sooo, if you are like me, then get one for strength, if you live where no snow flies, you will probably be good with any of them.

What's the point of it? Unless you get stuck often, I see no point of having one. I'm bad mouthing these since there's no reason to have it on your car unless you're stuck. It looks extremely out of place, especially having one on one side and nothing on the other.

No, they are from people who don't believe in "piercing" the front of their Yaris with something that not only looks badly out of place, but is also meant for emergencies in the first place.

Plus, this only leads to folks hanging plastic testicles or crap such as this on them...

If you feel or have the need to have one on all the time, then as Spades said, you need to reconsider your choice of vehicles!
