I think that it is an omission that you cannot screw in the tow thingy in the rear. Now why would anyone want to do that? Well, Christmas day we thought we'd drive to the cottage and since there are people living at the end of the road all year around, we thought it would have been plowed, well it was not, so we shovelled (the snow was knee deep) so that we could park the car away from the main road, drove in and guess what... managed to skid down a ditch with one rear wheel.

So there we were, blocking the road and stuck. Friendly neighbour showed up with a 4x4 and had there been a way to pull from the rear, then that would have helped, but now we had to shovel a path for the 4x4 so she could pass us, then, with the help of lots of pine twigs under the real wheels, she managed to pull us out.

My guess that the hook attachment for a bicycle holder is probably not sturdy enough?
