Tow Hook

[PAULSPEED]

The owner's manual says to never lift from the tow hook.

Has anyone ever see a tow truck driver lift from the tow hook?

Just wonder what the damage would be.

The tow hook is for towing (pulling) and for tie downs - not lifting. Most (but I am sure not all) tow truck drivers know this - certainly after destroying a car or two.

Have you seen any pictures? Does the tow hook just strip from the threads?

The tow hook screws into the bumper reinforcement (not the chassis). So chances are it will bend or the bumper reinforcement will bend and tear the bumper cover off with it.

Loren,

Excuse my ignorance but where is the tow hook in a boxster? I have been afraid of a breakdown and not knowing where the tow hook is for the tow truck driver to not destroy my car.

The tow hook is in the front trunk next to the tire air pump.
