In case of towing. How does the tow truck driver tow my 2024 Mustang? Do I need to purchase a tow hook? if yes where and what's the cost. Thank you

We do apologize, we do not provide towing services and therefore would not have the necessary or accurate information you are inquiring about.

We just had our Acura towed and it didn't have a tow hook. They just wind up finding something underneath to hook to. It's no big deal. Many cars don't come with tow hooks.

But if the front fascia is too low to the ground, hooking to something underneath can result in the cable being at an angle that won't clear the fascia.

You've never seen a low profile car have the front fascia damaged by a clown tow truck driver who doesn't know what he's doing? I have.

Can they latch it facing rearward?

I'm not saying the GT or even DH is too low. I'm just saying in general.

I've seen cars damaged being pulled both ways when they are super low to the ground and the tow operator hooks up underneath the frame instead of an external tow hook. It's all about geometry.

What I can say is my DH came with a front tow hook.
