So there is a little plug in the rear bumper that says “tow hook cover”. Great, pull that off and.... umm... there’s nothing in there but the metal bumper? No threaded hole or any slots even to do recovery.

Anybody know how you’re supposed to recover a bronco sport from the rear??

I will put a shackle on the Reese hitch but that’s not the point. What was ford planning for rear recovery?

Check your manual?

I know the ranger based Bronco has the manual in the radio, there is no paper one...

I snagged the receiver hitch mainly for a recovery point lol.

In the manual it only talks about front recovery points. The wife was reading somewhere that if you have the tow package you can’t access the rear recovery points. I’m like WTF????

Think I’ll hit princess auto tomorrow and get a Reese receiver and a 10T shackle.

The tow hitch blocks the recovery hook mounting point. That's what you are seeing when you look through the recovery hook opening.
