2022 JLU Rubicon Rear Tow Hook (only 1) ?

[NewbJLUOwner]

Hello Everyone
Can someone explain why there are 2 tow hooks on front bumper and only 1 tow hook on rear? I'm new to Jeep World, maybe there is a good explanation

Not sure if this is Jeeps reasoning, but...

Over the years, I've flat towed a number of vehicles on road. Whenever possible I'd tie off on the driver's side of the tow vehicle. Middle is the 2nd choice, but I'd do whatever possible to avoid the passenger side. On the towed vehicle, passenger is better the driver. My reasoning is that right turns are sharper than longer sweeping lefts, so tying off to the drivers rear of the towed vehicle makes it harder for the towed vehicle to roll over the strap as it rounds the turn.

If we drove on the left side of the road, everything above would be reversed.

This is the most reasonable and rational reason I have heard yet...... Thank you

One hook in the front would look odd.

Well… the tow hooks actually press the bumper to the frame… so kinda needed on both ends. The rear hook is only a hook and doesn’t serve any other purpose (except to maybe keep rocks out of the license plate).

Here’s what I decided to do about that.

You only need one on the back unless you run into the oddball chance that you need to pull out two Broncos at the same time.
Reason for two on the front, if you bog down, it would take two Broncos to pull you out.

There...
