haven't looked myself but know of lots of cars with this system tow hook is screw in and ususally in with jack/wheelbrace.

 

the real tow hooks are attached to the frame of the Jeep with two 12 mm bolts and to the rear bumper with one 10 mm bolt...

I really would NOT use a single anchor spot like shown above to pull a stuck Patriot out of the mud. I will guarantee that the bolt will tear out of that small thread if you try that.

Now, using that hole to tie down a canoe to the roof might be another story.

 

Now if they only had two of those spots in the front bumper I would then really be happy and would have somewhere to attach my canoe

 

why not just drill two holes into the front metal bumper and put in some eye hooks? It'd be the same as putting driving lights onto the bumper

 

Think we are all waiting for the guinea pig to try it and tell us how it goes...

 

if you really want it, it's not that hard to drill 2 holes. It just hurts with a new vehicle if you're not used to metal work.

 

Yeah, it's definately for towing but I've no idea how effective it would be for vehicles stuck in mud.

 

I don't think it would stand up to pulling something out of the mud to be honest.
Use your tow pack for that.

 

Guess no-one reads my posts then...

As I've pointed out, Euro-Patriots come with a detachable tow hook.
Ash has shown you where the rear mount point is, and there is one on the front bumper also. However, as has already been pointed out, that detachable hook is pretty flimsy for any serious towing. (In fact the manual claims one is only allowed to use the tow hook on asphalt... ) A proper, solid hook would be much better, especially for off-road use.

 

I've not seen one on the front, I will go and have a look...
