why was the flatbed guy using the tow hook? most good towers use LCA or chassis hookups.

Yeah, I've wondered why it even HAS a tow hook. Especially one that's located way off to one side.

yeah that's where we are right now

can you imagine how hot the yaris would be with aluminum LCA's? and rear suspension designed to do more than keep the back bumper from dragging on the ground?
