    Is this usable as a front recovery point? Located on the passenger side of 2019 DCLB?

    Or is this the point that Toyota will not offer a rating on? It looks pretty solid, but I am newb, and no not of these things.

    That looks like an aftermarket recovery point. However, the passenger side is where the factory recovery point is, driver side is just a tie down point.

    That's definitely an aftermarket thing. The ones that come stock are actually tow hooks, or tie-down hooks, NOT recovery points.

    So as recovery points go, that's not a bad one, certainly stronger than the bent sheet metal stock ones. Ideally, though, you'd want one that ties in to both side of the frame rails, like from an aftermkarket bumper, or those front hitch receivers.
