Mohr MFG. of Burnsville, Minnesota has just introduced a patented, receiver mounted bumper and trailer hitch it calls the "Superbumper." The bumper and hitch combination pulls and cushions trailer towing while protecting a vehicle's occupants and vehicle by combining a ball mount with an energy absorbing bumper. The result, says the company, is that it will protect a vehicle from rear-end collisions, reduce whiplash injuries, shield a gas tank from under-ride, eliminate parking lot and parallel parking dents and dings while lowering insurance claims.
The company claims it is the only bumper (original or aftermarket) to pass the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's 5 mph "Rear Into Pole" crash test without damage to the vehicle or the bumper.
It is designed to fit any vehicle with a two-inch receiver hitch and comes standard with turn signals, brake lights, running lights and emergency flashers to give additional visibility to the rear of the vehicle. The hitch is rated Class III/IV for pulling trailers up to 6,000 pounds with a tongue weight of 600 pounds and is adjustable up or down. Receiver-mounted applications like bike racks and cargo carriers may still be used without removing the bumper.
