as much as i would love to help people, i just stop to make sure everyone is ok then drive off (unless i know them). iam just afraid of being sued nowdays because of my towstrap snapping, or ripping something off of the other vehicle and such. its just me covering my own *** i guess

I think I see a small circular panel on the right side.......it should pop right out, exposing a spot to thread in a tow hook that is likely stored with your spare tire stuff. Your owner's manual should point out exactly where it is if there is one. The 750 I pulled out was an older model. In fact, since that day I noticed the guy has traded it in an a new Infiniti SUV. I guess he's tired of being helpless in the winter!

I had an interesting rescue last week. I live in a town where the environment is a very big deal, and plenty of people scorn big trucks. I stopped and pulled a guy out of a snow bank on a residential street. He was driving a little Pontiac Vibe (Toyota Corrolla). He had been stuck there a while. After I easily pulled him out of the snow he thanked me and said, "You know, I guess I'm glad afterall that some people still buy big trucks."
