Mates,

Can't seem to find much tow rating on aftermarket rear bumper other than ARB. ARB is rated to tow up to 5,000 lbs. Though towing is not going to be done a lot other than my off road trailer which loaded will weigh around 2000 lbs give or take a few hundred pounds.

However, I would like to be able to tow a small boat or trailer up to 5000 lbs locally every now and then and knowing that my bumper hitch is safe enough to do so.

I am looking at ARB rear and saw its rating of 5,000 lbs. Can't find ratings on other bumpers.

What will fit my needs?

Thanks,

Tim
 
Getting a bumper "tow rated" costs a lot of money. ARB is one of the few major companies that have the extra dough to get this done.
Most of the aftermarket bumpers are built to easily be able to handle the 6500 lbs tow capacity of the 100 series.

If you are really concerned about this, i would just find a bumper that allowed you to still be able to attach the OEM style hitch that is rated for 6500 lbs.
