Where is the tow hook on the Geely Boyue?
3 Answers
Geely Boyue tow hook is located at the rear of the car, where there is a small cover for the tow hook. Open the tow hook cover to see the tow hook. Method to check the tow hook: Find the tow hook cover at the rear of the car. Then use a tissue-wrapped screwdriver to pry open the tow hook cover on the bumper. After prying it open, the tow hook will be visible, and you can then attach the tow hook. Tow hook locations for other models: The rear tow hook for the Geely Vision is located on the left side under the trunk at the back of the car, visible when bending down. The tow hook for the Geely Emgrand EC715 is located at the front of the car, where a small cover can be opened to reveal it.
When I previously drove a Geely Boyue SUV, I encountered a situation where towing was needed. The towing hook is usually hidden right below the center of the rear bumper, covered by a small round panel. You can gently pry it open with your finger or a key to reveal the towing hook point, where you need to screw in the towing hook rod to secure it. Never attach a rope directly—if it comes loose, it can be very dangerous, especially at high speeds. I've seen cases where improper operation caused vehicle damage, so I always check if the panel is secure and if the towing hook point is rusty before towing. If the panel is missing or lost, you should get a replacement from a 4S shop—safety comes first. Also, make sure the vehicle is turned off, in neutral, and with the handbrake engaged to prevent rolling. Additionally, SUVs like the Boyue have higher ground clearance, making towing easier, but don’t take shortcuts by tying the rope to the bumper, as it can damage the paint. During regular maintenance, ask the technician to inspect the towing hook point to keep it clean and dry, so you’re prepared for emergencies.
I always enjoy tinkering with my friends' cars. For example, the tow hook on the Geely Boyue is quite easy to locate—it's right under the center of the rear bumper. Just pry open the circular cover, and you'll see the tow hook point. Simply screw in the tow bar, and you're good to go. If your car gets stuck and needs to be towed from the front, there might be a similar point under the front bumper, but the rear one is more commonly used. When towing, it's best to use a rigid towing tool rather than a soft rope, as a snapped rope can damage the car and injure people. Also, in bad weather, check if the cover is clogged with mud or sand, and rinse it clean during car washes to prevent corrosion. If the tow hook point isn't used often, applying some anti-rust oil is advisable. If the cover goes missing, you can get a replacement at a dealership for a reasonable price. Before operating, park on level ground, engage the handbrake, and turn off the engine to prevent the car from sliding and causing accidents. Paying attention to these small details can save you a lot of trouble.
