Yeah, seeing Raceseng's tow hook with the integrated GoPro mount made me consider it for like an hour or two. I'm trying hard to replace factory parts with aftermarket lighter ones, and a tow hook would simply be 100% adding weight, albeit not very much. So that was how I successfully managed to talk myself out of that purchase.

But yeah, other than an extremely nice GoPro mount, I agree with most people that a not-a-racecar tow hook is just silly. Maybe if it's on some old beater that breaks down weekly. But even then, you're probably not breaking down in a ditch.
