Where do you hook up the strap?

What gear do you let your clutch out in?

1. Tow hook location is in the owner's manual

2. 3rd or 4th should work.

Actually, this is what I did:

Near your front wheels, there are two big holes (I guess they are the wheel mounts) you can thread your tow rope through. Made a triangle and attached the long end to the hitch of the 4-runner. Took about 10 seconds (didn't even know it was started) of pulling it in 2nd gear for it fire up. I waved at my brother to stop...wondering why it wasn't firing....when I realized it was already fired up (love that quiet engine!).

So, lesson learned and now, I have a tow rope in my trunk just in case it ever happens again. Saved some money! I LOVE FORUMS!
