The 2011 model comes with two heavy duty Tow Hooks (thats what they call them in the US) but they are actually recovery hooks.
The 2012 model is fitted with a plastic removable cover over where the hooks would normally be. It could be possible that you can fit aftermarket recovery hooks in the same spot but they would need to be fitted by someone who knows what they are doing and would need to be easily accessable for attaching a shackle or recovery equipment.
They dont come as part of the Off Road Adventure Group either.
The Mopar Hooks are rated for towing 2,494 kg - this is the only hook rating I have ever seen from Jeep for any model.
Never had a problem using genuine hooks on any Jeep in a recovery as long as they are correctly fitted.
