How safe is the rear bumper hitch? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I was just wondering if anyone knew the load rating for towing with these types of bumpers?
Short of tying it to a tree and racing away..I have no idea how to safely test its strength?
I do have the camper package, and the wiring and plug are down there for a trailer.
I was hoping it would at least be able to tow a car carrier.

It's a California truck, solid bumper and frame, the supports are the type that are adjustable to make it sit further away from the truck if you put a camper on the bed.
