The front tow hooks will bend if you get a side load on them.

the hitch is a great way to go. You can put a clevis in the receiver and use it like a tow hook.

you can put a which carrier into it

you can also use it as a jacking point for a hi-lift jack.

The hitch just does a lot more things than the tow hooks and it might even be a little cheaper. Later...Clint
