Do you lose any towing capacity after installing this bumper? Sorry to revive an old thread but after reading all 16 pages I didn't see the answer.

svc doesn’t post or say what it’s rated at but looking at it compared to stock I would say it’s quite a bit less. However I have towed my track car and didn’t have any issues but I would say that’s the limit

That's what I needed to know, thanks! I doubt I'll tow anything more then a camping trailer. I have friends with Super Duty's if the need arises to tow something bigger.

I have this bumper, and it is a quality and very stout piece of kit.

I understand why SVC doesn't rate for towing. It's a liability deal rather than a quality issue or a lack of robustness issue.

When I took the factory bumper and hitch off, I was surprised at how flimsy the whole hitch assembly seemed.

Damn I need this bumper! Such an old post but exactly what I need. No chance you still have it? Lol

Seems like a simple clevis pin though the hitch would work. Until something broke and shot off at 200MPH. Anyone have an answer?

Also, I was reading the responses about the backup sensors and decided to try and keep them. I played around with a few designs and ended up cutting in and burning some mounts that (IMO) look cleaner than the other options I've seen. I'll post up a few pics in case anyone else is feeling ambitious.
