Default Tow hook

OK..... I can't decipher what I have read on here so far..... does the 2017 GS come with a toe hook or not? If so, where is it? Is there a receptacle behind the pop out on the rear bumper? Is there a receptacle at all in the front..... if so where is it?

Yes on the rear behind the pop out, Pass/side more at the top of the grill. Both screw into a female outlet. Base model don't have them only z51 and z06 and the GS now. Robert

No North American Corvettes come with a TOW hook. The Z51 (post Nov 14 production), all Z06s and all GSs come with the threaded hole to accept the hook. If you want a tow hook you have to purchase one from GM or an aftermarket supplier.

Tow hooks do not come with the purchase of your Vette as far as I know......... I have bought 3 in last few years, and none included tow hooks. There is a storage place for a tow hook on the top of the battery compartment cover, but no hook........

THANKS to all that responded...... I now accept the fact that my car did NOT come with a tow hook 'UNBELIEVABLE"..... they put in a spout for a gas can but no tow hook
