Scenario, I get my 2016 Trax stuck in the snow and now I need to have it pulled out. I've done some research and discovered that I have no clue how to connect to the front end. The rear section has a tow hitch so thats no issue. I looked in the spare tire well and the only thing inside is a strap with hooks on the end. Now most modern autos have this square plug on the front bumper cover. You pop it off and screw a eye bolt into it. My car has No eyebolt and no spot behind the front bumper to screw into. I checked. That part of the frame that should have the bolt is a solid piece of metal.
OK, what do I do with the strap. where does it go or is there no recovery point on the front? The underside of the front end is sealed off with a plastic cover so there is no easy access there. I guess the question is, where are my tow points. Or better yet, recovery points.
