Default Tow Hook , Optional?
Did everyone receive a tow hook with their C8 delivery? I was told it was optional. Doesn't sound right to pay for an equipment that should be standard. Dealer wants $100

Yes, it is option for the US version.

$100 bucks isn't a bad price from a dealer.

Been driving for 45 years. Can’t ever remember needing a tow hook. Not sure why something that may never be needed should be “standard”.

It is standard only on the export versions (where required by law).
