Tow Hooks - GT500 Have Them

[Houston Kid]

I have been following the GT500 forum for a while and I don't recall seeing a thread about the GT500 having tow hooks. I know I've sleep a few times since following the this forum and I apologize if this topic has been covered.

Does the 2020 GT500 have a place for tow hooks or is it like the GT350 and requires a few minor mods to mount tow hooks?

Not that I will need one for the 1/4 mile but I will track the car on a track with corners. Being a novice on road courses and being rather aggressive, I know the kitty littler will be encountered. LOL. Hopefully that's the worst of it. Track insurance will be in place as well.

They come with a front tow hook (in the trunk with other supplied parts) which goes in the front bumper.

Thanks. Good to know. How about a rear mounted one?

Why am I not the least surprised that Earl had the tow hook PDF? :-)

Earl, you share something with Google, you know EVERYTHING! <smile>

Note the bung added to the bumper beam to accommodate the tow hook. First time I've seen it exposed. It'll be interesting to see if Ford uses one part in both GT500's and GT350's as that would mean GT350 owners could cut their bumper cover and only need to add a hook...

There it is. The old bung hole. Such a simple addition yet Ford won’t put them on all Mustangs.

Does anyone have any idea what the threads are? Size, Pitch, Length. I would really like to know for an external license plate mount.

Thank you, mine is locked in my trunk, and is in storage. I am one of many that has to have front plates, and DO NOT want to mess up the bumper area. Chris

This looks like the same Tow Hook as the the Focus RS. The RS guys have been using it as a license plate mount
for a long time.

Keep us posted. I may be interested instead of using my Craigs bracket.

I told the5 that a lot of are interested on this method of securing our plates, seems like the best way.

I absolutely would will buy one. I bought a Sto and Sho for my Hellcat but I like the tow hook mount better.

The way that I see it you lose ground clearance with the Sto & Sho. Also they tried to tell me that the bracket placement is the same as the 350, really, how about the intercooler behind the splitter.
