Tow package question

[MacGuyver]

Thanks for everyones input. I don’t have anything that I plan on hauling. Just thought I would ask the question seeing that somewhere along the line a dealership states they installed a tow package. That never happened. I may install a receiver hitch just in case I might want to tow a small trailer.

Did they weld that in there? What an odd mod.

The hook is welded to a “U” shaped channel which was then bolted to the frame the same way as receiver hitches are. I have no idea why someone would do that? Anyway. If I install a receiver all I have to do is unbolt the bracket with the hook.
