Where is the rear tow hook on the Song MAX?

[Jessica]

The Song MAX does not have a rear tow hook, only a front tow hook. Definition of tow hook: A tow hook, also known as a tow ball, is a towing device connected to the rear bumper beam of a vehicle. It is primarily installed on ordinary household vehicles to tow trailers weighing less than 1,700 kg, as well as towable caravans. Of course, it can also be used to install rear-mounted luggage racks or bicycle racks, etc. Relevant regulations on installing tow hooks: According to the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations" issued by the Ministry of Public Security, it is permissible for small and micro passenger vehicles to install front and rear anti-collision devices. Therefore, installing a tow hook is legal as long as it complies with the regulations for the specific vehicle model. However, tow hooks that protrude beyond the body of the vehicle are not allowed to be installed, as Article 16, Paragraph 1 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law" stipulates that unauthorized modification of the structure, construction, or characteristics of a motor vehicle is illegal.

I remember when driving the Song MAX, the position of the rear tow hook was right in the center area underneath the rear bumper, usually covered by a small square or round plastic cover. You need to crouch down and carefully look at the bottom of the bumper—the cover is embedded there, typically color-matched to the car body. First, gently tap or press a few times with your fingers to feel the cover, then use your fingernail or a small tool to pry it open. Inside is the tow hook mounting point: a threaded hole. The car usually comes with a tow hook bolt, which needs to be screwed in first. Never pull directly to avoid damaging the paint or bumper. The first time, I was confused, but later found it by checking the user manual. The fixed position is designed to evenly distribute force during towing and protect the vehicle's chassis. Different versions might have slightly different cover designs, but it's basically in the same spot. I recommend familiarizing yourself with the location beforehand so you can handle emergencies quickly, and always be mindful of the towing weight limit to avoid overloading.

As someone who often tinkers with cars, I find the rear tow hook on the Song MAX quite cleverly hidden: it's located at the center bottom of the rear bumper, near the area below the spare tire. Usually, there's a removable plastic cover concealing it. If you crouch down, you'll notice a small protrusion or indentation—that's the designed mounting hole for the tow hook bolt. I've personally tried it; after removing the cover, just screw in the included tow hook tightly, and it's ready to go—very convenient. The placement is well thought out, maintaining aesthetics while preventing dirt blockage. But remember, always operate with the car parked securely—safety first—avoid doing this on slopes or highways. Also, the cover's shape might slightly vary by model year, but the core mounting hole is definitely centered on the bumper. When towing, ensure the hook is securely fastened to prevent accidents; I've seen minor mishaps from improperly locked hooks.

I drove my friend's Song MAX, and the rear tow hook is right under the bumper. Squat down and look under the rear end to find a small round cover. Pry open the cover, and you'll see the threaded hole. You need to screw the tow bolt in yourself for use. It's uniformly positioned at the center point to protect the chassis from scratches. Always install the hook when the car is parked to avoid harming people or the vehicle.

My Experience with the Song MAX: The rear tow hook is located beneath the center of the rear bumper, hidden behind a small cover. First, turn off the engine and engage the handbrake to ensure stability, then squat down at the rear of the car to inspect. The cover is usually made of plastic and can be removed with a gentle push. The mounting point is right there—install the tow hook bolt according to the manual. The design is discreet yet straightforward. When towing, be mindful of the distance between the holes to avoid pulling too hard and deforming the bumper. I always remind everyone: adjust the tow rope to the proper length before starting to prevent sudden impacts that could dislodge the hook or damage components. Also, if the cover isn’t properly secured, dust can easily accumulate, so clean it regularly.
