Hey everyone! I know this is a weird one, but I need to have someone tow my Camaro from a snowbank. The way it is situated I think the only way that it can be pulled out is from the rear. I did a search and saw that there is no dedicated hook in the rear of the car for this. Does anyone have a good solution of where the tow truck driver might be able to attach or wrap a strap? I don’t want anything to break and I’m not sure that I trust a regular tow driver to get this right.

Luckily, it’s just in my driveway. Tried to get it unstuck from its spot on the driveway and ended up sliding off the side.

Thanks in advance!

Based on a quick search there appears to be no provision for a rear tow hook. The guys who trailer seem to like tying the car down by putting the straps through the rear wheels.

Posting a picture might be helpful so we can see exactly how it is stuck

This right here is why some of us choose not to drive their Camaro in inclement road & weather conditions.

Hope you can get it fished out, OP, with out anything being damaged.

I would go to one or both of the points where the lower control arm attaches to the crossmember. Immediately to either side of the pre-muffler tailpipe in this photo.
You might need to do some digging, and you need to make sure the tow line doesn't damage anything once it straightens out under tension.
I am assuming this is an accurate photo of a gen6.

This was my other thought as well. It's probably the most rigid part of the rear.

I would avoid letting them pull on a wheel. That's going to put a lot of force on suspension components in a way there were not designed to handle.

Maybe helpful...or too little too late...Good luck.

^^^I could not agree with this post more...

OP... hope you figure out a way to get it out.

As someone who spun their Corvette on dry, 40 degree sunny day pavement: I feel for you.

Any chance that you can get some sand, cat litter, or some other traction enhancements under the rear tires and carefully drive out?

I would try using rollers like the ones they use in body shops under both rear tires and then strapping the wheels and very slowly pull her out.

A picture would be good but why not just shovel the snow out from all 4 tires and put some ice melt under each tire put it in snow/ ice mode and go for it.
