Does your lower front fascia have the openings? If so, it had them at some point.
Tow hokos were standard on a '00 4X4 Expedition. For fleet ordered vehicles (Avis, Hertz, Budget, etc) front tow hooks and rear trailer hitch could be deleted.
Often deleted by cheap body shops if the truck has been wrecked, previous owner could have removed for various reasons, etc.

Piece of cake to re-add if you want them.

A breaker bar, the right sized socket, entry fee to a junkyard and about another $20 you should have yourself a set.

Someone donated a set from a f350 to me. Drilled the holes and cut the facia to suit. Worked great and all for free!
The point is there might be cheap alternatives out there. You just have to look.

Hope you dont mind me hitching on your thread - but can anyone take a clear pic of the front tow hook? cant seem to find a decent pic in google.
The front valence I got had provisions for it when I replaced it to install the factory fog lamps so no worries there. However some of the sellers in ebay say I need to drill holes into the chassis. Is this true?

It was a 2000 if I remember correctly. They were not a direct bolt on. I had to add some holes. But for a couple hours worth of work they are excellent!
so I just realized the 2WD didnt have provisions on the chassis. So if I really wanted tow hooks, I need to drill into the chassis.
How bad an idea is this? last thing I want is when the tow hooks are finally used that it will snap off
