Step 1
Look at the back of the car for any type of hitch or ball hitch. If the car is equipped with a hitch, this is the best place to hook a tow rope. Hook the loop of the tow rope over the ball or tie a knot in the two rope to make a loop if it doesn't already have one.

Step 2
Search for a tow hook under the rear edge of the car. A tow hook can be on either the left or right side of the car, in the center, or there may be one or two tow hooks. A tow hook is generally an actual hook or a piece of metal welded to the frame with a large hole in the center to fit a tow rope through. This is the best place to hook a tow rope to. Put the tow rope through the hole and tie it with a knot. If there is a hook, make a loop in the tow rope, tie a knot and place the loop over the hook.

Step 3
Get under the car and look for a solid place to hook the tow rope. Look for holes in the actual frame of the car to fit the tow rope through. Slip the tow rope through the hole and tie it right there.
-
Step 4
Search for an area of the frame or crossmember that is open enough to slid the tow rope around. Tie the tow rope to the frame itself, even if it is not in the center of the car. The frame is the strongest part of the car.
