Not very much with a bumper hitch, probably less than 2k lbs.

Re: 1987 chevy 4x4 towing
From your description, I wouldn't trust the bumper to tow anything with peace of mind.
You can get a receiver hitch for a few dollars used on CL or a new one for about 100 dollars online. Having a bumper separate from the vehicle while towing is a prime means to kill/injure folks....don't take the chance. |
