n00b question - what are the little dillys on the front of some of the Yarises?

[47_MasoN_47]

I always wondered what the little hole on the passenger side of my front bumper was for. I see some people here have some sort of little dilly sticking out from there. What the heck is that? What does it do?

The hole is for a tow hook which is what is sticking out of some peoples car.

You got a tow hook for free with your spare tire changing equipment. The aftermarket ones you see look better.

This one is for show:

So is this so that you can tie a cable from the car to a truck or something and pull it along? Or so you can pull things while in reverse? Thanks for the patience.

so u can get pulled along ... i wouldnt recommend tryiing to pull something while in reverse

[47_MasoN_47]

Ah ok, thanks for the explanation. I didn't think that it would be good to pull backwards, but I've seen people try it before... My car is going to be more of the "sweet looking family sedan" than a racing machine haha, so I'll keep my tow hook thing in the kit with the spare.

used for importing and shipping...

must be tied down on the boat

It can be used for removing the vehicle from a hazard without attaching to a point that might damage it. It is not for towing the car down the road.

I had to use it to have my dad pull me up out of their driveway with his truck when it snowed.
