That could be. It also says 4x4 only. Good suggestion on calling the
company directly.

I'm a big believer in tow points. If you spend enough time off the
pavement, pretty soon either you're going to get stuck or someone else
is going to need you to pull them out. The Mopar tow hooks don't work
on the 2001 model, and a hitch is the best option I've been able to find
for adding a tow point up front. Warn makes a grille guard that's
designed to be a winch mount, but the cheapest I've been able to find is
$529.
