• Will the Erickson Bolt-On Tow Hook, # EM59503, Fit on a 2010 Chevrolet Silverado
• The Erickson Bolt-On Tow Hook, item # EM59503, is not designed as a custom fit application but it may work on your 2010 Silverado. You will need to measure where the tow hooks attach on the vehicle to see if the mounting holes in the frame are 1-3/8 inches on center apart, and will accept 1/2 inch diameter bolts. A picture showing the mounting hole width is included. If these above dimensions will work on your truck frame, and the orientation of the hook is correct in relation to the holes...

• Recommended Tow Hook Options for a 1995 GMC K1500
• The Chrome Plated Steel Tow Hooks part # 63029 are a universal fit item and we have not had the chance to test the fitment of these on a 1995 GMC K1500 yet. Most likely you will need to drill two holes in each side of the frame to attach the tow hook. The tow hook is 5-1/2" long x 1-14" wide and the bolt holes are spaced 1-1/2" apart on center with a 1/2" diameter. The overall height of the hook is 3" and the distance from the top hole closest to the end of the hook is 3-1/4". I have also...

• Grille Guard for 2020 Ford Ranger That Retains Tow Hooks
• We do have an option for a grille guard for your 2020 Ford Ranger that allows you to retain the factory tow hooks and skid plate, though there isn't a bracket kit for the Westin grille guards that allows this. Instead, to retain the tow hooks on your '20 Ranger, the grille guard you will need is from Aries: - Aries Grille Guard # AA56FB As you can see by the cut out of the linked installation instructions, the brackets for this grille guard get attached at the same spot on the frame as...

• Can the Tow Hooks Be Removed To Install a Front Mount Trailer Hitch On a 2020 Ram 1500
• The only front mount trailer hitch available for a 2020 Ram 1500 with the factory tow hooks is the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C87FR. That said, you will need to remove the factory tow hooks in order to install the trailer hitch which I confirmed with Curt for you. The Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 65081 will not fit even with the factory tow hooks removed.

• Do the Tow Hooks Have To Be Removed When Installing a Bull Bar On a Ram 2500/3500
• I have the perfect option for a Ram 2500/3500 which is to use the Aries Bull Bar with Removable Skid Plate part # AA35-5006 with the Tow Hooks for Aries 3" and 4" Bull Bars part # AA35-5TOW. The bull bars do require the factory tow hooks to be removed but Aires has come out with a set of tow hooks (see above) that will work with their bull bar so you don't have to make any sacrifices. The Aries Bull Bar with Removable Skid Plate and Tow Hooks for Aries 3" and 4" Bull Bars combo fits all...

• Front Hitch for a 2019 Ram 1500 Limited with Factory Tow Hooks
• The Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C87FR is a fit for your 2019 Ram 1500 Limited with the factory tow hooks. However, the tow hooks will need to be removed in order for the hitch to mount as they use one of the bolt holes needed for the hitch. In order to then assist with vehicle recovery it will be a good idea to keep something like the Curt Tow Strap Loop for 2" Hitches part # C45832 on hand. There isn't a front mount trailer hitches for your Ram that will allow you to...

• Will Roadmaster Base Plate Kit # 264-1a fit a 2008 Dodge Ram 2500 with Missing Factory Tow Hooks
• Since your 2008 Dodge Ram 2500 came from the factory with tow hooks the Roadmaster MS Base Plate Kit # 264-1A that you referenced would work for you. This kit utilizes the factory tow hook installation points as installation points for the base plate kit and even if you had the tow hooks still you would not be able to reinstall them once the # 264-1a was installed.

• Compatibility of Aftermarket Tow Hooks With Westin Grille Guard on Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD
• Installation of a Westin Gille Guard/Winch Mount, such as their # 46-43610-23615 for example, that fits the 2012 Silverado 3500HD, requires removal of the factory tow hooks because these interfere with the mounting points for the guard. My contact at Westin advised that only very few vehicles can retain factory tow hooks once an aftermarket grille guard is installed. We do offer aftermarket tow hooks, such as the Westin T-Max Universal Tow Hook # 46-3005. These mount onto the winch tray...

• Can Tow hooks Be Installed on 2019 GMC Savana 2500
• To get tow hooks installed on your 2019 GMC Savana Van you're going to have to have a shop fabricate something for you as there aren't any custom-fit options made for your vehicle. You could potentially install the Curt Adjustable Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13701 with the Erickson Tow Hook # EM57500 or use tow hooks like the Erickson Bolt-On Tow Hook with Keeper # EM59505 to accomplish this, but you'll need the shop to look at the parts and plan out the installation with you to make sure...

• Recommended Baseplate For A 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe With Tow Hooks
• The Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM77ZR is the correct baseplate for a 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe with tow hooks. To complete your flat towing setup you'll need a baseplate, tow bar, tow bar wiring kit (diode kit), supplemental braking system, and safety cables. If you don't already have each of these components then let me know and I'd be happy to find the correct ones for your Jeep.

• Will Curt Trailer Hitch # C13065 Fit a 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee with Tow Hooks
• The Curt trailer hitch instructions for # C13065, see link, do mention that if there are factory tow loops present they have to be removed prior to hitch installation. So this hitch will fit with or without the tow hooks present on the vehicle. I have also included a link to a video showing a typical installation. If you plan on doing some towing I recommend the etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts, 2 balls, a hitch pin and clip, and a carrying bag. For trailer...

• Do the Loops on Curt Front Mount Receiver Take the Place of Tow Hooks on a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee
• The front u-shaped loops on the Curt front mount hitch # C31033 can be used as safety chain loops, tie down points, or tow hook functions. The hitch technically does not fit models with factory tow hooks which is why your mechanic had to remove them.

• Base Plate Kit For 2001 Chevrolet Tahoe
• I plugged 2001 Tahoe into the fit guide and there were 3 "Vehicle Styles" on the tow bar page: 1. 4 Wheel Drive - tow hooks bolted internally to frame rail, # 199-1 2. Rear Wheel Drive - tow hooks bolted internally to frame rail, # 199-1 3. tow hooks bolted externally to bottom of frame. Since your hooks bolt internally (regardless of drive type) the Roadmaster # 199-1 Base Plate Kit is the correct fit for you. To complete your flat tow setup you will need a Roadmaster # RM-522 "Falcon"...

• Can the Tow Hooks On a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Be Removed To Install the Curt Front Hitch
• The 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee could have been equipped with either bolted-on or welded-on tow hooks. If you have bolted-on tow hooks then you can removed them and the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C31033 will fit. There were some early models with the welded-on tow hooks which the brackets could not be removed therefore a front mount hitch could not be installed.

• Can the Factory Tow Hook Be Used on a 2017 Jeep Patriot with Aftermarket Trailer Hitch
• I do have an option for you but the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13081 will not allow you to re-install the factory tow hook. If you would like to keep the factory tow hook then you will want to use the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 75712 instead which will allow you to retain the tow hook once it has been temporarily removed to install the hitch. I have attached an install video of the Draw-Tite hitch on a similar 2016 Jeep Patriot for you.

• Will Westin HDX Grille Guard Part # 57-3915 Work With Factory Tow Hooks On A 2017 Nissan Titan XD
• I do have a grill guard option that will allow you to use the factory tow hooks with your 2017 Nissan Titan XD, however, the Westin HDX Grille Guard with Punch Plate part # 57-3915 is not compatible with the factory tow hooks installed. Instead, you will want to use the Aries Bull Bar with Skid Plate part # AAB35-9004 in order to retain the factory tow hooks. You can also use the License Plate Bracket for Aries part # AA35-0000 to retain the front license plate.
