A loading bracket assembly includes a base bracket having an engagement portion that is disposed at an interior area of a composite vehicle structural component and that is accessible through the first wall. A fastener may be attached to the engagement portion of the base bracket and may extend through an intermediate wall of the composite vehicle structural component and a supportive structure of the vehicle. The engagement portion of the base bracket is configured to engage a component or an accessory, such as a tow hook, that applies a loading force to the base bracket that is substantially transferred to the supportive structure and bypasses the composite vehicle structural component.
