why cant you get some from a dealership? I mean besides being way overly priced. Why didnt it have tow hooks on it in the first place?

Something like that?


Personally I would get more stock ones, they are alot stronger and more usefull than the generic ones you get, unless you are just going for looks. Ford towhooks are rated for the max the truck can weigh while towing a trailer, that is a fair amount of weight for a Superduty, a Ranger can max out the ones shown getting a good tug.

They really shouldn't be rusted already, if it is bad you might take it back to the dealer as it should still be under warrentee.

Aren't we just screaming for assistance. Spending that much money on something completly inadaquate just for looks probably isn't what most people would call smart.

Honestly if they think they are worth over $100 a pop and ARE NOT sutible for towing they better be gold plated, rather than chrome plated or just polished aluminum.

The ones you are taking off the truck are 10x the tow hook these are, and are probably cheaper than that new from the dealer.
