Hey everyone, I have some questions about my truck and im hoping someone may help out. 1st of all I just baught one of them small campers that calapse and close. The trailer is on two wheels and my guess it weighs about 1000 pounds. I don't have a hitch except for the bumper which is rated for 6500 lbs so it says in my book and im a little nervous to hook this trailer onto the bumber. I have already cut the hole in the bumper and have the right ball hitch on the truck but my major question here is will this pull my trailer with no problems? or am I supposed to go purchase a hitch? I don't know if the 6500 lbs ranking is for this fitted bumper hitch or just what the truck can tow with a regular hitch on the back. someone help plz. last thing I need is a trailer flying down a mountain into some poor man behind me.

The bumper should be plenty strong enough for that trailer, but it can be a little high. The real tongue weight on that trailer is most likely about 100 pounds and it should be free rolling no brakes no problem at all.
