I called the dealer where I bought my CX 5. They said to stop by when the parts department was open and they would try and scrounge up a tie down hook for me. No thanks and I now live 100 miles from that dealer anyway.
I had an Amazon gift card and ordered the KD53-50-EJ1B tow hook for around $30.
What really made me think about it was an incident that occurred a couple of months ago. There was about 2" of fresh snow on the ground. I live on a very steep street. I guess I was going too fast when I braked to turn into my driveway. The ABS started hammering away and I continued to slide down the hill rapidly approaching the dead end of the street. I thought I was going to go right into the trees. Luckily the road leveled out near the end and I was able to stop in time. It sure would have ruined my day if I had gone off the road and had to call a tow truck. Let alone any damage that may have occurred.
