The issue around current aftermarket and factory tow points is that they are totally unsuitable for most recovery situations, especially when your vehicle is caught on a steep track, stuck deep in mud or bogged in soft sand.

Don’t think for one an instance that this will not happen to you… because you can guarantee it will. It’s part and parcel of four wheel driving in harsh Australia conditions.

Superior has CAD designed this towing point so you can snatch, tow or recover your mighty Nissan Patrol with 100% confidence, because this component can actully get your vehicle out of trouble.

This rated towing point has a whopping 16mm thick plate and is rated to a huge 5,000 Kilograms.

This kit also includes a 4,500 Kilogram rated tow hook and also a 4,500 Kilogram rated bow shackle.

This component is proudly made right here in Australia, manufactured from high tensile steel, laser cut to ensure a precise fit, fabricated by qualified professionals for the ultimate in durability and strength, then sand-blasted and finished off in a 7-Step SA5 Zinc coating for maximum corrosion resistance.

Superior’s towing point is engineered and manufactured to the highest Australian standards and to not cover up any of the vital crumple zones in the chassis, while still ensuring the tow point is fitted in the optimal location to handle the stresses experienced during vehicle recovery.

Each Superior towing point undergoes considerable research and development on the actual vehicle chassis.
