All Toyota Sienna owners know that these cars are not equipped with any kind of towing device. Neither in the front nor in the back.

This circumstance is typical for many manufacturers of MPV class cars. Apparently the manufacturer decided that MPVs are driven exclusively on ideal roads with always cleared non-slip surfaces and will never need towing. But during trips and travels, situations may sometimes arise when a completely serviceable car is shallowly stuck in the mud or its wheels are slipping due to the slippery road surface. Most likely, it will be enough to gently pull the car with a tow rope and it will be able to move on its own. This would be quick, easy and will save time and significant funds on paying for the services of a tow truck . But the manufacturer did not provide a place to secure the cable to the car body.

Perhaps the manufacturer believed that in such cases the driver would always have to call a tow truck with special lifting equipment.

If you install the proposed device for securing the towing cable, you will be able to independently, quickly and effectively pull your car out of various situations. You will be able to more confidently drive into places far from a ideal roads and overcome forest paths, sand, snow, ice, mud, etc. You will always know that you can help yourself in such a situation.

The installation is simple and requires almost no modifications to the car. This can be seen in the photos in the "Installation photos" section. The device is attached to several power points on the chassis and can withstand very large longitudinal and transverse forces. The car can not only be towed on a flat surface, but also to pull out of deep mud. If you need to pull sharply, you will need to use a kinetic recovery rope.
