I have two sets of them. One at home and one at the airport. I have had them for years and use them often on everything including my GMC (front end only). Mine say "12,000 GVW CAPACITY". Since most vehicles are front heavy in the 60% to 65% range, that tells me that they expect them to handle at least 7,500 pounds for the pair. Even at a 50% ratio that would mean they can hold 6,000 pounds for the pair. My GMC weighs 4,000 of the front so I'm well within specs.

The only complaint I have is they will sometimes slide when driving a rear wheel drive vehicle on them. I have never had a problem with a front or 4 wheel drive vehicle. I have also owned steel ones and these plastic ones are far superior to me.
