there is an option for them when you build a truck on the website. i believe its like 180 extra. i dont know if you built a truck online and just overlooked it or if you went to a dealer lot and the one you picked didnt have them but there is an option for them.
All 4X4's should have tow hooks!

I'll ask the question again. Can anyone advise if the holes for the tow hooks are already drilled on the Rams, or will they have to be drilled?

Got an 2006 ram slt 4x4, no tow hooks or tow hitch. The hooks are bolt on's no drilling or fab unless you have the full solid black plastic trim piece then need a dremmel and a steady hand. there is one thing I can say about the 4x4 1500's I see. tires are rediculous, tow hooks, same. but it will wheel like crazy. I pulled a 2007 chevy 4x4 out of the sand today. My License plate reads "YRUSTUK" and everytime I pull someone out it is great. Soon new tires probably nitto terra grapplers will be on there way and tow hooks and hitch.

we may not get stuck, but it's damn sure nice to be able to hook up and tug a ford out.

it can be and has been pulled out.

Thanks Jimmydelao for the response. Can you tell me, once the hooks are installed, how steady are they?
