    Hi,
    The 2017 owner's manual shows the correct frame slots to use when transporting the truck on a flatbed transport truck:

    However, no guidance is provided regarding the correct hook to use, and there are several different styles:

    There's gotta be some way to figure out which one is best to use, just can't seem to find any reference.

    Thanks,

    David

    I tried two at NAPA today, and both sorta-kinda got in there and held, but neither really convinced me that they were the right one.

    Also, I'm known for over-thinking this kind of thing :)
