Here's how I hooked a 2000 Mustang & held nicely even took a few yanks as we're towing at about 25mph for about 3 Miles.
Also, clears bumper & doesn't interfere with anything...think it's a support/reinforcement as part of the K-Member on the right front.
Just pass the hook over & under cross support...pull out hook, fold/fit rope into hook, then pull hook onto lip & pull rope so hook holds tightly to lip.
After hooking other end of tow rope to tow vehicle, drive forward & pull rope briskly and make sure hook is now tight on lip.
After tow, you may need to pry and/or strike hook under car to release from lip.
Hope this helps.
