Subject: Towing from step bumper
IP: Logged

Message:
Quick question, if Dodge allows towing of up to 2000 lbs from the Step bumper then why aren't there any safety chain loops on my 2000 Dakota. Am I missing something or am I just not seeing them. There are two very small loops but there is now way any chain will go through them. Any ideas?

Don't tow with the bumper... Go out spend a couple hundred bucks on a class I or class II hitch. I have a class IV on mine. Bumper really aren't good for towing even if dodge say so or any other manufacturer for that matter?? Just my opinion

I didn't say it wouldn't work!! just isn't recomended for any kind of real towing. and if you averaged 100+ towing you need to be takin off the road.
