You guys know where to get a tow hook that fits to the front tow hook connector on a 2012 sportage?

Something like this would be great.

Your vehicle didn't come w/ one? Not sure if that's standard on all but, came with my car. It's located in the toolkit next to your spare and jack...

Ps... If yours didn't come with a tow hook, the dealer can get you one. I'm sure they're not that expensive. Even at the dealer. It's just a big metal eye-hook with threads on one end. Nothing fancy ;-)

I will check the spare, actually I never thought that it came with one. Hoping its there..

Yeah, check the bag with the lug wrench. Mine is in there...

Thank goodness he is looking for a tow hook for actual use. For a split second I thought it was some Honda guy trying to make the Sportage look like a race car with a bright red tow hook.

Yep it was right there..

I need it for a bow strap anchor for transporting a kayak.

Thanks for the info man.

How many tow hooks came with your Sportage? I have two, one is slightly longer than the other.

Bluntman: I will check but if memory serves, I just have one. Can't recall seeing two hooks in my toolkit.

Where do you secure these tow hooks to the body of the car? I wish i would have had known this when I transported my kayak

There is one (receiver?) on the front bumper and one on the back bumper.

Bluntman: I will check but if memory serves, I just have one. Can't recall seeing two hooks in my toolkit.

Oddly, one is in the toolkit/sleeve along with the tire iron and one more item, but the second two hook was just loose in the divided tray, but, yes, please let me know.

As bluntman states: on front and rear bumpers you'll see 2 plastic "circle cut-outs" with an indention. Push the indented part of the "cut-out/cover" and the cover pops open. Under there is the threaded hook receiver. Hope that helps...

Bluntman: I only have one. It's in my felt toolkit as mentioned. I looked in the organizer tray and didn't see a second one floating around anywhere.

All I have back there (under organizer tray) is a spare tire, tire iron, jack, and tow hook.

 

[bluntman]

Thanks SneakyMe, I wonder where this came from? Out it goes!
