How to install the Tesla Model X tow hitch receiver
The Tesla Model X comes with an optional $750 tow package which includes a 2″ hitch receiver capable of towing a boat or any payload below 5,000 lbs. with 19″ wheels and 3,500 lbs. with the larger 22″ wheels. The SAE Class III hitch itself comes pre-installed onto the rear frame of the vehicle...www.teslarati.com
Fixed, thanks for the reminder! Also Oct 2021 build:It's time to change your signature on the forum now btw ! Congratulations again; what a b-day treat to get!
If it's the receiver only, then... The X doesn't include the hitch(/hook?) itself?That is the detachable towing hitch receiver thingy as per the manual
I have a feeling, but do not hold me to it, that the tow hitch receiver is US specific. I have never seen anything like this in the EU at all and from what I can tell; the EU models get the towing hook (ball) as opposed to a hitch. See Tow hitch - Wikipedia as well for the difference per part of the world.If it's the receiver only, then... The X doesn't include the hitch(/hook?) itself?
Never knew there was that much variation on this. I thought every car used the ball, just like everyone on the planet uses metres and kilogrammes.I have a feeling, but do not hold me to it, that the tow hitch receiver is US specific.

Why the fascination with tow hook? Do you plan on getting stranded? I own an X and have never once wanted or even considered the tow hook. That left box is the hitch receiver for towing.Pardon my ignorance, but what is the left thing? Is that the tow hook, or something else?
It does if you’re referring to towing a trailer. The hitch is two parts: 1. mounted to the vehicle and 2. the piece you slide into it that accept the tongue.If it's the receiver only, then... The X doesn't include the hitch(/hook?) itself?
In Dutch, this thing is a 'trekhaak', which literally translates to 'pulling hook', hence me talking about 'towing hook'. I think I meant tow hitch, but I'm still getting used to the terminology.Why the fascination with tow hook? Do you plan on getting stranded?

That is, as explained, specific to the U.S, and the rest of the world does it slightly different (as so many things in life) Luckily, the Model X instruction vid specifically says the hitch is U.S specific and that it varies per country so that is good to know. I assume that, for the Dutch market at least, we are getting the 'ball' hitch as is custom with all cars here.It does if you’re referring to towing a trailer. The hitch is two parts: 1. mounted to the vehicle and 2. the piece you slide into it that accept the tongue.
The second part is what you see in the pic it is detachable from the X making it different from the traditional hitch. You slide the skinnier side (from the picture) into piece 1 then the tongue and ball slide right into it.
It doesn’t include the tongue and ball but I’ve never bought a car that does.
