2014 Cherokee - connect tow bar at tow hooks ?

Hey.. thanks for the feedback and good logic.

I note on this particular Jeep, the tow hooks are "rated for 8,300 lbs each". Not sure what that means in this context. The car weighs about 4,200 lbs.

I suspect the strength rating is more than adequate, but the constant torsion loads might be a problem over time.

I pick up the Jeep this weekend and will snoop around under there. If I can find a baseplate that is reasonable, I'll probably go for that.
