Rear recovery point??

[Goinbroke2]

I have the little door on the bumper that says “tow point cover” but when I pop it out and look inside, there is no threaded hole. (or any hole)

I’m making a receiver towing hitch but would rather keep that clear for the winch. Ideally have the winch in the receiver and a tow point so I can do a 2:1 pull.

Anyone else know what these are supposed to have?

Hmmm
If remember correctly think read a post about if you have the tow hitch you don't have the threaded hole.
if you don't have a tow hitch you will have the threaded hole.
Not sure this is accurate but my brain seems to recall reading it ??

What does the manual say about it?

This is my understanding as well. The hitch bracket covers up the hole.

Of course, I can’t recall what I had for Breakfast today!

This is the receiver hitch I got plus a 7/8” “bubba rope” which is the best recovery device I have used to date!!
Used this several times already, works great!

Partially true. It doesn't cover it but replaces it completely.

The threaded hole is incorporated into the bumper support bar and not into the trailer hitch. It's one or the other.
