If one doesn't order Trailmanor's Rear Bike Receiver as a factory option when the trailer is built and later decides to order it and personally install it, it is bolted to the frame.
Since mine was welded and not bolted, I am considering adding a grade 8 bolt to each side for the best of both worlds.

Today, installed one 5/16" x 1 1/2" grade 8 bolt in each side of the Rear Bike Receiver. Now it's welded and bolted to the frame.
If anyone is considering using a cargo carrier instead of a bike rack, buying a strong yet light weight cargo carrier is essential since the Rear Bike Receiver is limited to 100lbs. Two good options are an aluminum cargo carrier or an ATV cargo carrier.
