I'm new to DE's, but it doesn't seem like they are required. I do agree that they are a good idea. If you do enough of these it seems everyone goes off the track at some point.
The thing I think about is if they have to send the truck out for me, what are they going to hook onto to tow me in? Not a lot comes to mind which makes me think they could end up damaging my car more without a hook.
I picked up a pfadt front hook, its just not on yet. Seems like a difficult install which i may leave for a winter project.
I don't know where a rear hook mounts, I haven't seen one yet.
From what I've read on the forum, If you need to be towed in without a tow hook, they run a strap through the side windows, often breaking the windshield in the process.
