Where is the towing hook located on a Land Rover?

The towing hook of the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque is located at the bumper position of the vehicle. By carefully observing the bumper area, you can spot the towing hook. Here are the detailed instructions: 1. Owner's Manual: The towing hook position for the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque is specifically marked in the vehicle's owner's manual, which helps owners locate the towing hook more quickly. 2. Installation: Installation of towing equipment for the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque. Whether using soft or rigid towing equipment, ensure that the connection to the vehicle's towing hook is secure and reliable. If the towing hook is designed with a safety lock, make sure it is properly engaged. Always recheck the front and rear connections before commencing towing.

When I'm off-roading in my Land Rover, the tow hook is an extremely practical accessory, usually fixed directly below the rear bumper. From my experience, the location varies slightly between models—for instance, the Discovery typically has it at the center of the chassis, while the Range Rover might hide it behind a bumper cover. At first, I was a bit confused, but after frequently towing small trailers for cargo, I figured out the positions. To find it, crouch down and check underneath the vehicle—sometimes you’ll need to pull out a dust cover or give it a little tug. When using it, make sure the hook is securely latched, especially on uphill slopes to prevent accidental detachment. Many people forget to check the compatibility of the tow bar, leading to dangerous hook dislodgment. I recommend spending a few minutes before each trip to clean the hook shaft, preventing dirt buildup that could jam the mechanism.

Last month I bought a used Land Rover and had a hard time finding the tow hook for the first time. It's located under the rear bumper, positioned quite low, almost near the center below the license plate. I specifically checked the owner's manual, which mentioned that most newer models like the Evoque are designed this way to facilitate towing boats or camping equipment. When actually towing, I found the height suitable but prone to scraping against low curbs, so careful driving is required. Why place it here? Probably to protect the main body from impacts in case of collisions. I also tested it with a bicycle rack and found it very stable. A reminder: don't just focus on the location, make sure to use a good tow hook ring that matches the trailer weight, otherwise long-distance towing may cause damage due to shaking.

After years of working on cars, I've learned that Land Rover's tow hooks are typically fixed beneath the rear bumper at the back of the vehicle. The connection points are either on the chassis or frame rails. Depending on the model—like the Defender—the hook head might be exposed, while newer models hide it behind a sliding panel. To operate it, press a switch to release or use a wrench to unscrew the cover. It's crucial to check the bolt tightness, as looseness can cause towing imbalance. Common issues include rust and mud clogging, so regular lubrication is recommended for maintenance.
