My '93 Dakota has its stock step bumper in place. And I know it wasn't meant to pull a lot, but, what can it handle? Wondering if it could handle pulling another Dakota on a tow dolly? Anyone? I'm looking for a parts Dak and am trying to figure out how to get it home before I find it. Wouldn't be cross country, at most 20 miles. Thanks.

The bumper rating is usually stamped in the step area by the ball.

I pulled a 6000lbs enclosed trailer full of my tools and personal belongings on the bumper of my 91 Dakota from Nashville to here and the bumper was saggin pretty low when I got here. I think there was a stamp that said 500lbs max trailer weight on the bumper.

The bumper rating is usually stamped in the step area by the ball. I knew it was there, just curious about real world experience pullin' with the stock bumper. Mine says 200lbs tongue weight and 2000 pull weight. Looks like I'd be better off putting my AAA to use. Thanks guys.
