Why is Tow Hook of 2015 Toyota RAV4 Removed to Install Curt Hitch C12108
Question:
The installation video shows the removal of a stock tie-down bracket on the drivers side, but not the reinstallation of this bracket. I assume this bracket is used for towing, etc. Why is it not rei-installed when the hitch is put on?

Expert Reply:
The tow hook of the 2015 Toyota RAV4 that gets removed in the install video you mentioned (that is also attached to this page) is removed because the trailer hitch # C12108 uses it's attachment holes to install.
If you were to ever need to recover the vehicle you would just want to use the hitch as a recovery point instead of the tow hook.
