Dealer never said that the tow hooks would not be supplied with the vehicle.

I will be very dirty if they try and charge me down the track
I will wait and see.

Good luck but I doubt you'll have any luck. I doubt the dealer relly has to tell you about something that is not included given it is no longer mentioned in brochures nor are there any display/demo vehicles sitting around with them fitted. Plenty of 4wd's over the years have been sold without recovery points. You'd be better off trying to get it cheap or free as part of taking some extras etc.

Sorry to jump in here fellas but I have been looking at a new GC and test driven one and checked with my salesman which I have bought 2 Jeeps from because I trust Him rare i know but when I posed the question about a recovery hook/point he showed me the front one where you pop out the inserts on the bottom of the bumper and screw in the rated tow hook which is standard and stored in with the spare tyre on all models at no charge so i think your dealers are ripping you if you have to pay.

Rubi, I dont think your salesman can be trusted as he obviously doesn't know his product very well and obviously doesn't read the Jeep service bulletins. The screw in tow hook is not recovery rated and is only suitable for dragging it onto a tilt tray etc. Jeep has recently released a rated recovery hook that bolts into the chassis on the opposite side to the screw in tow eye you describe. This hook retails for around $400 plus fitting.

It really annoys me when salespeople don't take the time to know the product they are selling, if you took him at his word and tried to snatch recover your jeep using the tow eye you might end up killing someone.

Hi Jasman , thanks for that info I will bring that up with when I go back , the last thing I would want is a tow hook flying through somone's window or them for that matter.
