I would not recommend it. You would probably bend the bumper.Question,
Is it safe to jack a 2011 Rav4 from the front tow hook with a farmer jack?
(to change a tire)
You can pull on them to carefully recover a vehicle, but not many normal passneger cars have ones that are rated to serious tonnage, it could distort the front structure if you get carried awayThat's what I though, I would have done it myself.
so if you get stuck in snow or mud, to have someone pulling you out with recovery straps ok?
and the fact they only include X1 tow-hook is wrong, as I think you want to pull on the front end evenly with the two side right?
