Bumpers may be made of steel, aluminum, rubber or plastic that is capable of absorbing force from low-speed collisions so that physical damage to the front and rear end of the vehicle may be reduced. Although the NHTSA says bumpers are not a safety feature intended to prevent or mitigate injury severity to occupants in the passenger cars; nevertheless injuries are lessened through bumpers and other safety parts in the car.

Bumpers found in trucks or SUVs are higher than those on passenger cars. Ford bumpers, GMC bumpers, Chevrolet bumpers and those of similar large vehicles are also sturdier since these vehicles are used for more challenging tasks such as hauling and towing. Truck and SUV bumpers are likewise higher to provide better ground clearance for the vehicle to easily and conveniently drive through steep grades, loading ramps, large rocks or any road obstruction when driving off-road.
