It's a cool design, but obviously will not be as simple to move from stow to tow position when your car is on the grown on the side of the road with only 4" of ground clearance.
It does look cool but the critical point is how easily can the bracket be moved to the tow position when the car is not on a lift or the front end raised?
Seems like there’s no reason to keep it on the car in the “horizontal position” since it needs to be removed for use and reinstalled in the “vertical/perpendicular position”. If it’s just a storage issue, I’d keep it behind my seat just in case it’s ever needed. Nice engineering, but discounting the “bling factor” for something that nobody will ever see, I can achieve the same result with a piece of flat stock that’s lying around the garage and a few minutes with a drill. I applaude the gentleman from Marlin for coming up with the idea, but seems like a costly alternative to some bar stock, a bolt and a split link.

Takes between 3 & 4 minutes. There's quite a bit of room & wrench swing in that area
