What is the towing capacity of a 1998 Chevy Blazer using rear bumper not third party hitch?

The towing capacity of a 1998 Chevy Blazer using the rear bumper is not recommended and should never be done. The bumper is not designed to handle the stress of towing and doing so is extremely dangerous. It could result in damage to the vehicle, loss of control, and serious injury or accident.

To find the proper towing capacity, you need to consult your owner's manual. It will specify the maximum towing weight for your specific 1998 Chevy Blazer model (there were variations) *when using a properly installed factory-recommended or third-party hitch*. This capacity will be significantly higher than anything you could attempt with the bumper.
