Not only are the loads going to be forward rather than upward or downward,, but pulling a vehicle on a paved road requires almost no force. A preteen could probably push a Maverick in neutral on a flat road. Whereas off road recovery can result in momentary shock loads of several thousand pounds, especially if you need to break suction on sand or mud.I'm no engineer, but I'm assuming the tow hook attachment is designed more for forward load rather than a downward load that a heavy winch would create. I don't have tow hooks on my hybrid, so I'm speaking off the cuff.
