Is the rear bumper strong enough to attach a 2 bike rack. It is a bolt on type and is for 2 full size bicycles.

We have the same 35DSRL with a 4" square bumper. I attached a bolt on receiver hitch and a "4 bike" rack. We've "tested" it out and everything worked just fine.

can you send me a picture of your hitch? Also where did you get it. We really need a 4 bike rack, but I was afraid of putting the weight on the bumper.

Thanks. I was just wondering if the weight of 4 bikes would tend to twist the bumper. I haven't gotten a response from the factory yet.

Thank you for your post and question.

The rear bumper on ElkRidge models will be strong enough to support bike racks. We reccomend that customers do not "over due" it with towing from rear bumper as this can overstress the frame.

Our rear bumper is connected directly to the frame. No problem here.
