Tow Hook Question

So I am trying to figure out if my ZL1 was supposed to come with the front tow hook?

This is what my dealer said when i asked the question!

"Just got your email, the tow hook in the trunk is for our european models. They use that ancor point to tie the vehicles down while in transit. I checked with my parts department and we don't even carry that part."

I had to chuckle when i read this! is there any truth to this?!? lol

You should have one in the under-trunk area in the back. Its a monster beefy thing actually. (In-fact, I glass beaded off the loop section and re-sprayed with a caliper matte black.... looks great vs the gloss when mounted)

Don't forget about the orange spring spacers you need to install when towing. They should also be in trunk or glove box.

I was wondering what they were for! I have them. The only thing under the rear matt was the bag with the fix a flat and the small 12V compressor.

You should have the tow hook. Make them provide one to you. You should also have the funnel for the capless fuel filler. Mine was in the glove box.

The 2018 SS we just sold had the tow hook in a loose parts bag in the truck. We put in in the spot in the tray before the customer took delivery.

You're lucky to get that before the sale is finalized. Very rare to get it after.
