Default good rear hookup tow points on a SeriesII

I have found the answer to the question below regarding towing. If I knew how to delete a thread I would have done so. Thanks for your patience.


Sorry to keep asking all these little questions; but here I go again.


What are the recommended hookup or tow points on the rear of a SeriesII?


I'll be pulling it out tomorrow. I didn't think those little tie down loops are recommended.


I searched with google and this forum, no info.


thanks geneo

Yes, those tie downs are designed for pulling the car.

They are much stronger than you think.

My car was pulled onto a tilt tray by those loops, you can see them in the pic. Silver loops ant the wishbones.

Of course the last place I looked was the owners manual, and right there on page 20 it says "Towing - all cars Always use the towing eyes,,,,,,"


thanks again
