ROADSAFE RPHIL05V2 Recovery Tow Points
Product Information
This product is a recovery point (part number RPHIL05V2) designed to be compatible with the Toyota Hilux KUN 2005-15 model. It is used for towing and recovery purposes and is rated to a maximum weight of 3250 kg. The recovery point should only be used with a shackle that is rated to a maximum weight of 3.25MT. The product is fitted to the front of the chassis rail near the bottom of the shock mount.
Fitting Instructions
- Each side of the chassis uses 2 x M12x1.25mm x 110L & 1 x M12x1.25 x 55L bolts. Flat washers should be fitted to both the bolt head and nut end.
- Bolt the recovery points to the outside front of the chassis rail, near the bottom of the shock mount.
- Use the provided stepped and standard crush tubes inside the chassis rail for lateral support. Use a flat plate washer at the nut end of the bolts.
- Ensure that three bolts per tow point are fitted and torqued to the recommended settings to meet tested standards.
Fitting Issues
There have been reported fitting issues when a Bull Bar is installed. The
shackle hole on the tow point may be difficult to access depending on the
combination of bull bar and bash plate design. It is advised to check if both
mounting holes can be accessed before ordering these tow points, especially if
a bull bar is already installed.
Bolt Torque Specifications
The following torque specifications should be followed when tightening the
bolts:
| Bolt Grade | M10 | M12 | M14 | M16 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 8.8 | 41-60 Nm | 71-105 Nm | 112-168 Nm | 175-260 Nm |
| 10.9 | 59-85 Nm | 102-150 Nm | 161-240 Nm | 250-371 Nm |
| 12.9 | 65-94 Nm | 114-164 Nm | 182-265 Nm | 282-406 Nm |
Important Note
It is important to always use tow points as a matched pair and connect them
with an equalizing bridle during any recovery situation. Failure to do so may
result in serious injury or death.

COMPATIBLE WITH PRODUCT PART NUMBER
TOYOTA HILUX KUN 2005-15 RECOVERY POINT RPHIL05V2
FITTING INSTRUCTIONS
Due to the 05-on Hilux chassis design, it is imperative that two points are used in conjunction with each other via a bridle strap. This is to avoid damage or unnecessary strain to the chassis, which can increase fatigue causing possible chassis failure. RPHIL05V2 is rated to 3250kgs only—and is only to be used with a shackle rated to maximum 3.25MT.
Fitted to Hilux 2005-on
- Each side uses 2 x M12x1.25mm x 110L & 1 x M12x1.25 x 55L bolts. Each Bolt is to have a flat washer fitted to both the bolt head and nut end. High-tensile bolts supplied, with relevant flat washers.
- These points bolt to the outside front of the chassis rail, near the bottom of the shock mount (near where the existing tie-down loops are).
- Use the stepped & standard crush tubes inside the chassis rail to provide lateral support. Use the flat plate washer at the nut end of the bolts.
- Ensure three bolts per tow point are fitted and torqued to recommended settings to ensure tow points meet tested standards.
FITTING ISSUES
It has been reported that these points have had fitting issues when a Bull Bar
is installed. The issue seems to be that the Shackle Hole on the Tow Point is
sometimes difficult to access depending upon the bull bar and bash plate
design combination. Please check that you can access both mounting holes for
fitment, if you have a bull bar, prior to ordering these tow points.
This is the mount from a Genuine Bull Bar. This mount strap uses the bolt hole (below the shock mount) that is required by the tow point. It also conceals the third hole required for correct tow point mounting.

Bolt Torque Specs
| 8.8 | 10.9 | 12.9 | |
|---|---|---|---|

IMPORTANT NOTE
Always use tow points as a matched pair teamed with an equalizing bridle
during any recovery situation.
