TOYOTA Genuine 51961-30020 Tow Hook, Front

Fit perfectly on my 2015 Toyota Highlander

This tow hook (51961-30020) works fine on a 2025 Toyota Rav4 with the front tow points on the bumper (which I guess are only found on Japanese made models). It is 1.5 inches shorter than the recommended spec model from Toyota for the RAV (51961-42060) but the threading is the same, so it screws in fine, and the length is enough to extend past the bumper. I'm not sure why Toyota only gives you one of these with the car-makes it difficult for hitching canoes to the front, and the entire rest of the front of the car is plastic with no attachment points. This was $30 and came overnight, whereas ordering from Toyota is more than double that cost and could take weeks.

Toyota used to give you one of these with the jack kit but did not on our 2014 Highlander. This one fits well and is rugged.

Appears to be OEM anyway (and is claimed to be such). This is way overpriced by Toyota and should be included with the vehicle. That said, this is a better price than I could find anywhere else. Toyota does not make it clear which year Highlanders this fits. We have a 2018 Highlander XLE, and it fits perfectly. Screws in, no wiggle or slop. The threaded area is not very long and it's standard (not fine) thread. Hard to believe it has enough bite to hold if tugged on to the vehicle's weight. Hopefully I'll never have to test it, but good to have just in case.

2025 rav4 the back of the eyelet is flush with the bumper. Enough room to tow and such. However the one that comes with the car is 1-2 inches longer.

Fits my 2014 Highlander XLE, but I read that not all 2014 models have the bumper cut outs for a tow hook and some that do don't have the screw outlet in the car's frame to accept the screw part. I even saw that someone had the holes in the bumper and frame but they weren't threaded. Can't confirm, but the story I read is that Toyota has the mount made for tying the cars down while transporting them across the ocean but some of the cars are made here in the USA and don't need to be transported so they don't have the hooks and so Toyota doesn't have much information available on what is officially supported. Not sure if it's true but it's a good idea to check your front bumper and frame to see before buying.

I was struggling to find a good method to strap a canoe to our 2016 Highlander. Purchased two of these tow hooks and they work great. Easy to install and they store in the tool compartment in the back. Very clean and stick out just far enough that the straps don't rub on the front of the car.

Tow hook does not work on a 2017 Toyota Prius, even though "genuine" Toyota part. Unfortunately free return date passed.

The most important thing to me is that this fits my 2017 Toyota Highlander. Now I have something to attach a tow-rope to when I get stuck in a snowdrift!

Bought used Toyota that came w/o tie down hook. Haven't tried to install it yet, but I believe it will fit. It seem to be genuine Toyota part. Recently saved me when I got stuck in deep snow with Kia Sedona minivan. A guy with pick up truck who stopped to help, was quite impressed how quickly and simply the tie down was to install, and serve the purpose. Hopefully I am not going to stuck again with AWD Highlander, but you never know. The tie down hook is also good for securing a canoe when transported on the roof racks.

Fits perfectly in my Toyota Highlander 2017 Limited

I have two of these and they fit into the threaded socket (hidden behind a plastic cover in the front bumper) of both my 2015 and 2019 Highlanders. These work great as a tie-down point for a canoe or kayak. Minus one star though for being unnecessarily expensive.

Fits 2017 Highlander. Cheaper than the dealership.
