Is there a tow point on front bumper?

[TheSEARCH]

My last 3 cars all had on the front bumper a little plastic piece that would pop out of front bumper with a threaded hole under it . In the spare tire area there was this large I-hook that would thread into front bumper hole in case the car needed to be hauled up onto a flat bed of what ever. NONE on my Hybrid Maverick. My last vehicle a 2020 Ford Ecosport had one . So HOW is a tow truck supposed to haul a maverick up onto its flat bed without one?? Or is it present and I missed it? My 2008 Honda Fit had one my 2015 Nissan versa Note and last 2020 ecosport all had it. I could see it not having this if it had tow hooks which it doesn't.

There are tow point holes beneath.

Okay thanks. Once it stops raining here i will have to take a look. So I assume threaded hole or holes and tow truck would have something to connect. Not that I ever want to have to be towed. lol.

The holes are not threaded.
Can use a "J" hook even though for your own safety the manual says not to use metal hooks presumably because they can become flying objects. But there's no better alternative.

Humm okay. Makes me wonder why no threaded whole in bumper like my past vehicles. BUT if all tow operators know how to use it that I guess its okay. I just was wondering.

Or just the "j" hook end.

The "r" shape end requires an oval hole found on some vehicles, but I've not yet found an oval hole on the Maverick.

But yes, that's the main idea.
