Does yours have two?  I've only ever seen one on the front, on the right side.

Just to be picky, neither the one(s) in the front nor the back are
"tow loops."  They are "holdfast points" by means of which the
vehicles are lashed down to the deck during their ocean passage from
builder to point of sale, and they're meant to take a strain pointed
maybe 30-45 degrees downward.  What you do with them afterwards is
entirely up to you.

In particular I'd be inclined to be very cautious about applying side
loads, especially to the forward one.  I don't have any hard data on
this, just a feeling.

Yours,
David
