Where is the towing hook on the Tharu?

The towing hook on the Tharu is located at the lower part of the bumper. The following precautions should be taken when towing: 1. Installation position: The towing tool should be installed at the towing hook position on the same side of both the front and rear vehicles. For example, if the faulty vehicle has the hook on the left side, the towing vehicle should also choose the left side hook to ensure straight-line driving after hitting the road. Additionally, after installing the towing hook, always perform a post-installation check to ensure the hook is securely fastened to prevent it from popping out and causing injury during use. 2. Communication and coordination between vehicles: Pay attention to communication and coordination between the front and rear vehicles. There are many aspects to towing, and coordination between the drivers of the front and rear vehicles is crucial. Before towing, the drivers should plan a reasonable route, avoiding complex road conditions and congested areas. If there is no walkie-talkie as a communication tool, agree on signals for starting, slowing down, turning, and going up or down slopes before hitting the road to ensure consistent control between the front and rear vehicles.
I remember when I took the Tharu on a trip and encountered a breakdown, finding the tow hook became crucial. The Tharu's tow hook is usually hidden beneath the front and rear bumpers, primarily in the rear area. Specifically, there's a circular or square plastic cover in the center of the rear bumper, which needs to be gently pried open with a small tool or key to reveal the hook. The front bumper has a similar setup, but it's generally designed for towing rather than recovery. When I first discovered it, I checked the owner's manual to confirm the safe location to avoid damaging the car body. Now, every time after washing the car, I check to see if the cover is clogged with dust, keeping it clean for easy operation. Although the tow hook is small, it can be a lifesaver in critical moments. I recommend familiarizing yourself with your car beforehand, rather than scrambling to find it in an emergency.
