and the rear one.

They are fabricated in aluminum, and are designed to take side and vertical loads as well as straight pulls. You never know what will happen if you get stuck somewhere off track. When I crashed in '03 the wrecker picked up the car at the rear by the tow loop. It bent the rear trunk panel and latch reinforcement area where it is bolted in, but not the tow loop itself.
