Towing my Yaris

I just purchased a 2012 3 door Yaris LE automatic to replace my Chevy Aveo as a tow car. I pull behind a 2011 Coachman Prism diesel class C Motorhome, on a tow dolly. On the Aveo there was two tie down hooks under the front end. I have not been able to locate any on the Yaris. Any ideas(the tie downs are for safety chains only)

The Yaris has the plastic piece that you pop out of the front bumper and then screw in the two hook (which is packaged with your OEM tire changing tools).

Reach inside the front fenders just behind the tire, there is one on each side built into the body.

Lower right side of image, right behind the swaybar.

Ah, that's right - That's a better option for strapping it down. I forget those two are there, unless I have one up on the lift.
