I have an owned Moto MB7420 that I set aside when Cox offered the current modem rent free for two years. Will switch 'em out and go from there.
Hi PhilTX, here is some information about Bridge Mode on our Panoramic WiFi modems:

As ChrisL stated, this appears to be outside the scope of our support. We suggest utilizing band steering on the modem, and setting all channels to automatic, for best results. This can be accomplished through the Panoramic WiFi app:

Those are the steps I took to enable bridge mode. Didn't see any option to utilize "band steering" or to set all channels to automatic on my end.
I contacted support this morning and swapped out modems. We'll see how the 7420 works with the pfSense FW.
