I've been rear ended 3 times in my 'tour in the 6 years I've owned it, ranging from 2-5 MPH. I've been hit by a a Jeep Grand Cherokee (lady putting make-up on while in stop and go traffic :rolleyes: ), a full size Ford cargo van (guy staring at the accident on the side of the road that was causing the traffic :rolleyes: ), and a Mustang GT driven by a kid who looked he just got his license and hasn't figured out how brakes work yet :rolleyes: .
In all cases, no damage to my bumper or car other than a small scratch or two. These bumpers are amazingly strong, IF they are hit squarely and evenly. What causes damage to the bumpers is if they are hit by non bumper material (i.e. license plate brakets, grills, etc.) or if they are hit off-center like with the corner of a car.
