Looks like yours is the "GoRhino" step bumper. I've got to admit, I like the look of the GoRhino bumper much better.
The big difference between the GoRhino (and others like it) and the Superbumper is the giant rubber donuts you can see that go around the outside of the stinger, as well as 4 big solid rubber plugs inside the stinger that you can't see. The inner rubber plugs compress up against the hitch pin in an impact accident, to further absorb it's energy.
The whole design is intended to absorb around 20 mph hit without transmitting any forces to the frame and up to the occupants….and thus no whiplash….and secondarily, to possibly prevent any physical damage to the back of the vehicle.
While I definitely like that it can prevent some physical damge to my VX, I like it even more for that 20mph or so protection …..to ME.
(and no I don't work for the company)
