I am about 210 and it is very sturdy. If you look closely it has these really nice rotating locking mechanisms that keep it nice and sturdy. I would bet that the load capability is quite a bit higher than what it says!

On my truck I have a four foot X 3 foot box that I push up to my bumper and then step up on the bumper and just stand on it.



On other peoples trucks, I go the bruised ribs route.

Yes Plow, that bumper looks as though it would serve as a very nice step.

Said the guy that is under the rating. Next he will say "here you try it, I'll hold your beer".
