As I replied to other post, this is my wife's car and this is what she wanted, so, there's that. I know it's not an off road vehicle, I was traveling north from Houston to Arkansas into icy conditions and just wanted an easily accessible tow point/hook in case I went off the road. The FWD worked good on the ice, except once when I was trying to get up an incline out of a gas station. Laughing at myself now, reading my post.
