Highlander front recovery points

Hi all,

I new to this forum - this is my first post and I need some help... I've recently purchased a new Toyota Highlander (called Kluger in Australia). We have been going off road a bunch and really enjoying it, BUT can't get a straight answer from anyone (Toyota included) about the load rating of the Highlander's front recovery points. I have no idea if they are suitable for snatching from???


Anyone have any idea - or know anyone who might have an idea????

The front recovery points are only there for use in an emergency to rescue the car if it's stuck. Bear in mind that the Highlander is built like a car (unibody) - not a truck. Although those points are probably stronger than other points in the car, a sudden force of a lot of weight in one corner of the car might go so far as to throw the body out of alignment.
