Superbumper - sparebumper
Anyone use one?
Anyone use one? Neat idea, the energy absorbing part.
My buddy got rear ended in his F-150 last month, stopped at alight.
He had his trailer hitch so that took the brunt of it.
Hit him hard enough to knock him into the car in front.
Was thinking about maybe leaving my hitch in until I found this. Price wise it is not all that expensive, and serves more then just being a step.

I'm one of those annoying folks that always leaves the hitch block in. I can't seem to go more than 24 hrs without needing it.
I do like the product though. I also like to see folks with the extra brake light that can go in the receiver. Safer for everybody.

I was rear-ended in December sitting at a stop light. Vehicle behind me got slammed and then was pushed in to me. Broke my trailer plug all to heck and bent the left side of my bumper in just a little bit. cost me like $200 to replace trailer plug bracket, plug, and wire harness that plugs in back of trailer plug. Guy that caused the wreck fled the scene and hit like three more cars, never got caught! The car that hit me was totaled, had a nice imprint of my receiver hitch in the radiator. Superbumper might of helped out some!

It looks like chit. I picture one attached to a rusted heap and the owner is proud because it's worth more than the truck.

Not sure how that would work with backup sensors. Kind of renders them useless or even worse will be picked up by the sensors and beeping all the time in reverse. Not sure.

You are correct back up sensors don't notice my equalizing hitch that I leave on all the time. My hitch sticks out 10 inches.

X2...I think they look horrible. I would rather leave the hitch in place(which I already do on my Sequoia)

wouldn't this thing damage the receiver/frame if a car slammed into it? i know the receiver is strong, but when my Bronco got totalled the receiver got bent all to heck...and it was a good US made receiver.. not some cheap china crap..
