Rear recovery point options????

[ProjectAviator]

We have the f-150 tow hooks for the front of the 3rd gen Explorers. But what about some rear recovery points. Has anyone installed rear recovery points on there 3rd gen? Anyone have any ideas?

Generally a trailer hitch is used

I use one of these and it's worked great...I've used it to get myself or others out of a jam with no issues:

When not using it I just take it off and put it in the same compartment as my jack.

being that I only have a class II hitch that is only about 1". won't work. I may look into upgrading to a class III hitch.

I believe they make one for a class ii also but I don't know how much you'd want to pull on it. The class iii swap is a good idea and not very difficult.
