stock bumper load rating
I have a 99 blazer and have not got a propper hitch set up for it yet but I am kind of in a jam and need to tow a car dolly with a 2000 pound car on it, will my bumper with a ball on it be fine with this load for 15 miles or so?
Thanks for any help

Look on the top of the bumper near the hitch ball. I believe it will show the maximum towing weight and tongue load weight for the bumper.

the bumper says MAX 350lbs... i think its pretty safe to say that if you tow the car, you'll losethe bumper.

I believe that is the max tongue weight which is usually ~10% of the max trailer weight, but I would not want to tow anything with my Blazer unless I had a receiver hitch.

Yeah, I just looked at my bumper and on the left it says "350 pounds tongue load maximum" and on the right "3500 pounds trailer load maximum". I still don't think I'd want to use the bumper to tow with.
