    The eye on the back is strong enough to pull a VX out of a tadpole pond

    HAHAHAHA, that is great!

    I have used the front two hooks on mine to pull a 4 door luxury sedan out of a huge ditch and they held up fine.

    ive used my vx to tow a lot of vehicles.. ive used the front hooks to pull an Audi A4 out of about 7" of snow, no problems.. used them to pull a dodge caravan up a hill at low speeds.. used them to pull branches off a tree too.. also used them to have my vx pulled up a fairly steep snow covered hill (twice)

    ive used the rear tow hooks to tow a jeep cherokee at low speed, to pull my vx out of a mud pit, and to pull a dodge intrepid nose down in a ditch perpendicular to the road up the hill.. never an issue

    oh and there was a minor incident where my vx was pulled out of small pond by the rear tow points too..

    Greetings, Earthling. We come in peace... Never mind "Paris to Dakar", the VehiCROSS looks ready for the Martian desert.

    well we were out offroading.. and i decided to take my stock vx on a side trail where all the lifted VXs with us were too uneasy about taking.. my co-pilot ran ahead and scouted the trail for me and decided that i should be fine... but she forgot to look for a place to turn around.. so i had to try a 3 point turn on that little trail.. got a lil too close to the bank and slid down into the pond.. there was a decent sized drop off so i couldnt just reverse back up it.. tom, cstyles and cobrajet used a come-a-long anchored to a tree to get me some traction and back up onto the trail
