Yepp ... even my car does not have a rear recovery point .. its the Tow hitch that i use ...

Also one more thing Saleh .. In new Toyotas there is something called RSCA ( Roll Over Sensing Curtain Airbag ) .. Even if you forget about your VSC ( Vehicle Stability Control ) for toyotas its fine as it switches off 60% when you put to 4HI .. but to completely switch it off you have to press and hold for 5 secs and VSC goes off ... same for RSCA cuz it will save your roof ... it will just blow if you are side cresting in an angle or while moving from one side crest to another ( Like what i did and blew up all air curtain air bags in my LC ..!! ) .... also while ur side sloping from one side to another and suddenly the curtain bags come out ... u roll over .... so priority goes to RSCA more than VSC in Toyota's .
