OEM TOW HOOK Part number

[NextGenRa25CR]

Hello Ranger Owners. Hope you had happy holidays. I need help with the tow hook part number. My ranger has just one tow hook and I am searching for the other but I am confused with the part number because there is people that says right is looking the car for the front (passenger side) and other from the cabin (drivers side). Attached you will find a picture and if anyone can help me to clarify, I will be very thankful

According to GenAI, right side is always passenger side. My attempts to google this came up with the same result

In automotive parts catalogs, “right” and “left” are always defined from the driver’s perspective while sitting in the vehicle, facing forward.

So in a U.S.-spec Ford:

• Right side (RH) = Passenger side
• Left side (LH) = Driver side

Why manufacturers do it this way

• It’s a global engineering standard used by Ford, GM, Toyota, etc.
• It avoids ambiguity when looking at diagrams or working on the vehicle.
• Service manuals, wiring diagrams, and OEM parts catalogs all follow this rule.

How it’s shown in Ford documentation

You’ll often see:

• RH = Right-hand side = passenger side
• LH = Left-hand side = driver side

Even if a diagram looks “flipped” when you’re standing in front of the truck, the labeling is still based on the seated driver orientation.
