Ford Racing Tow Hook

Ford Racing Tow Hooks: Where Motorsport Engineering Meets Real-World Recovery

When your Ford hits the track for an open track day, time trial, or wheel-to-wheel road race, having a dedicated, reliable tow point is more than a convenience — at many sanctioned events, it is a requirement. Ford Racing has answered that call with a lineup of tow hooks developed from the same motorsport programs that produced the FR500S Mustang Challenge Race Car, the Shelby FP350S Road Race Car, and the Ford Fiesta Spec-B.

Race-Derived Designs for Street and Track

What separates Ford Racing tow hooks from generic aftermarket alternatives is their direct lineage from active competition vehicles. The Ford Racing Tow Hook Loop Kit (M-17954-A) is a service replacement part for the Ford Racing Fiesta Spec-B and FR500S Mustang Challenge Race Car. This steel loop is the same unit used on the FR500S Mustang, and it is hinged to hang down when not in use but flips up quickly when a tow is needed. That kind of real-world, pit-lane practicality is baked into every Ford Racing tow hook design.

For Mustang GT350 and GT350R owners who spend serious time on road courses, Ford Racing offers the M-17954-FA Front Tow Hook Assembly. This front tow kit is original equipment on the Shelby FP350S Road Race Car and is designed and constructed to be extremely durable; a bright red powder-coated finish is applied after production. The kit is made in the USA, requires no welding, and installs with a bolt-in process.

Coverage Across the Ford Lineup

Ford Racing's tow hook catalog extends well beyond the Mustang. Steel powder-coated tow hook pairs in Ford Performance Blue are available for the 2019–2023 Ford Ranger. Truck owners are equally covered: Ford Racing offers a pair of steel, powder-coated tow hooks in "Ford Performance" Red color to add a bold look to any 2015–2026 F-150. A similar pair is available for the 2017–2026 Super Duty in the same signature "Ford Performance" red powder-coat finish.

Why Ford Racing Tow Hooks Stand Out

For GT and Boss 302 owners who take their Mustangs to road courses for open track days, time trials, or wheel-to-wheel road racing, it is recommended — or required — to have a dedicated tow point on both the front and rear of the vehicle, so that if an incident occurs, the car can be recovered without further damage. Ford Racing tow hooks are built specifically to satisfy that requirement, pairing factory-engineered strength with an unmistakable aesthetic that complements the vehicle's performance identity rather than detracting from it.

• Factory-engineered fitment — designed to integrate with OEM crash bars and bumper structures
• Race-proven steel construction — the same hardware found on purpose-built Ford competition vehicles
• Signature powder-coat finishes — Ford Performance Red and Blue colorways that align with Ford's motorsport palette
• Broad vehicle coverage — Mustang (FR500S, GT350, GT350R), Ford Ranger, F-150, Super Duty, and more
• Made in the USA — select assemblies manufactured domestically
