With regard to the bumper step I am not sure if the truck would be worse off.
At 5 to 10 mph I think the step would brake and cost $100 to replace. At higher speed the bumper would be damaged without the step. With the step the hitch and frame way take some damage or maybe the step would just break. I am not sure not it would be any worse than the bumper damage without it? See I have a open mind and respect your comments.
I was just looking for the members to share what mods they thought were we clear winners.

x54.4blue -
I am glad that you have an open mind so you won't hold it against me when I tell you that you are wrong.
Your rear step bumper is not made of plastic and held together with glue. It will not brake in a low speed impact unless hit from the side. In a straight on rear collision, think of the oncoming car as a hammer and the step bumper as a nail. The force of the impact pass through your trailer hitch to the floor substructure before your X5's rear bumper deflects.
Close your eyes - try to visualize it, but don't fall asleep.
Regards, Mike
