I got curious today and checked my 2014 for a tow hook receptacle. None to be found.

...aaaaaaaand you have a removeable panel right where a tow hook would go IF YOU had a hook receptacle! You also have a hole where the PDR camera would have gone had we the option to get that item. The 14s missed out on tow hook, PDR, A8, and front cameras.

The 2014 and I think 2015 Z51 did not have the receiver. The Z06 and my 2017 GS have receivers. This is a pic of one I bought from forum vendor http://wwwzl1addons.comBetter than the cheep GM simple "eye hook," for ~ the same price.
ONLY INSTALLED FOR CAR SHOW. Doesn't fit in foam battery cover recess but fits fine in rear cubby.

Good chance of ripping the carpet every time you have to pull that unbound section of carpet from under the plastic wheel well cover! In fact when I need to get the carpet out, to access battery or rear fuse panel, I pop off the bottom clips and pull the bottom of the plastic wheel well cover off first! Bottom clips are 3 inches up from the carpet and it pops back in with the side of your hand.
NOTE WOOD IS JUST FOR TAKING PIC. CAN PULL PLASTIC FROM CLIP WITH FINGERS. THEN HOLD PLASTIC OUT WHILE REMOVING UNBOUND CARPET.
