I asked on delivery and was told the Monrana square bumper would support a bike rack. Forest River told me "no" for the Wildcat and a sticker on the bumper stated the warranty was void if anything was attached to it. I compared both bumpers and concluded the Montana's was better built. I installed a bolt-on receiver and a Thule bike rack. Two bikes with no issues.

Will the dealer pay you for the bikes if the bumper fails?

I don't understand with a 5er why more don't use a pinbox mount. So it is a bit more work to get the bikes to the rack, but they naturally bounce less, are in your view, and don't add to the length of the rig.
