I wouldn't suggest towing that from the bumper. All the braking and accelerating will cause your bumper to bend out and in and could damage it, or even break it off.

Yeah bumpers are rated about 2000, but even if you don't go above that capacity there's still a chance of bending the bumper quite a bit (I know from experience unfortunately). It's much nicer to just have a hitch. Watch for deals I got a Class V Reese shipped for less than $90!

my 98 club cab 3.9 auto trans with real
hitch is good for 4800 lbs. I tow one just
over 4000 and it was struggling in high
wind ( good in the city and down wind)
manual trans is only good for 3600 lbs
tho. Quad cab probably a couple
hundred pound less.
