Recovery points - not for off-road?
Newbie question... thanks in advance for your experienced responses. (I searched but did not find...).
The owner's manual says: "The towing points at the front and rear of the vehicle are designed for on-road recovery only." Humph!
So what tow points can be reasonably be used on a standard vehicle for off-road recovery? Does that mean that a bull bar (with recovery points) is required for the front and a hitch+shackle is required on the rear for off-road recovery?
Assuming I ignore the manual and use the rear towing point for off-road recovery, is it OK to use a soft shackle directly through the towing point? I ask because the casting feels rough and might cut a soft shackle? Thanks.
