I believe 2001 is the same as 2002. Page 2 of the PDF. Someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

It is usually on the reciever as well. Should be a white sticker unless it is long gone.

That sounds like on the bumper itself. You saw it stamped by where the ball would go I assume?

So right below the bumper you don't have a reciever hitch?

Well, according to the pdf above, it's 500# for the bumper, with a 5,000# max tow weight. The hitch receiver is rated a little better at 1250# or 12,500 WD for tongue weight.

I was trying to say the same thing differently, but didn't make it clear.
