I went to the Saris website concerning the Saris Bones EX3 # SA803 bike rack and your 2015 Subaru Forester and found no prohibitions. I checked with our vehicle fit team and they did not see any issues. You can use the EX3 with your Forester even if it has an electric liftgate.
While you can use this rack on a vehicle with a liftgate, it is still not recommended to USE the liftgate when the rack is installed. The rack is especially designed not only to fit on a liftgate, but too also... view full answer...
I spoke with my contact at Tekonsha who said that you shouldn't be experiencing a problem with your liftgate on your 2017 Honda CR-V after installing the Tekonsha T-One # 118741. If you possibly cut or moved some wiring around other than what you needed to for the installation then that could very well be why you are having problems.
I was able to see that you also purchased the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76128 for your CR-V as well. If the problem is that you are having... view full answer...
The EcoHitch trailer hitch that fits your 2019 Volvo XC60 may interfere with the hands-free liftgate, yes. Most of the time you simply need to kick your foot to the side of the receiver as opposed to the middle and the hands-free liftgate will still work. While this isn't absolutely guaranteed, there haven't been reports from customers that have noted the liftgate has stopped functioning. The correct fit for the hitch on your Volvo is the following:

With the install of a hitch on your 2022 Chevy Trailblazer RS like the Draw Tite part # DT55GR you will still be able to use the hands free liftgate feature of the vehicle but you would just have to kick to one side or the other. view full answer...
If you check out the attached install picture of the LiftDogg Custom-Fit Pickup Truck Liftgate for Ford - 55" Wide x 39" Deep Platform # 33713006039-1206 you can see that the factory hitch is installed below the liftgate like you were asking about. view full answer...
Draw Tite states that their hitch part # 75758 is a fit for your 2014 Ford Escape and with it you only are limited in where the foot placement activates the hands free liftgate.
Basically you would just need to swing your foot on either side of the hitch opening and the gate would open.
I attached an install video for you to check out as well. view full answer...
I reached out to my contact at Curt Manufacturing about the Curt # C24HR hitch for the 2021 Nissan Rogue and what possible issues there may be with the operation of the liftgate sensor or the rear distance sensors. They told me that those Rogue systems should work as expected. They have not had any consumer reported problems. The hitch is further inside of the sensors so they would not be blocked by the hitch structure. Regarding the liftgate sensor, users can expect to find "the sweet... view full answer...
I have a few options for you, but currently there are no electric A-Frame trailer jacks made that are low profile enough for you to open the liftgate of your 2015 GMC Yukon XL with the trailer still attached. The only way to open your liftgate with an electric trailer jack like the Stromberg Carlson Electric Trailer Jack - Drop Leg - A-Frame - 24" Lift - 3,500 lbs - Black # JET-3755 installed is to unhook the trailer, and lower it or move forward before opening the liftgate. It may be possible... view full answer...
With the etrailer # e89YR hitch installed, the receiver tube will block the sensors in the middle of the bumper, but if you wave your foot several inches to the right or left of the receiver, the sensors will pick up the movement and operate the liftgate. You might need to hunt around a bit until you find the sweet spot, but the liftgate will still work. view full answer...
The hands free lift gate sensor works on motion. So if you were to block the sensor when you installed the # C13146 it would basically make the feature inoperable. So in your case it wouldn't matter much since you didn't use it anyway. view full answer...
To determine if the Thule Pulse XL # TH615 will clear the liftgate on your 2009 Highlander, you will need to take a measurement on the roof. Open the rear liftgate and measure the distance between the rearmost roof rack crossbar and the closest portion of the liftgate. If this measurement is less than 16 inches, the Pulse XL Roof box will install without interfering with the operation of your liftgate. view full answer...
The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13234 should still allow you to activate the hands-free liftgate as it has been tested. In the attached video of this trailer hitch on a 2015 Ford Edge you can see our installer activating the liftgate by passing his foot under the trailer hitch but typically what we see is that you have to use a kicking motion as if you are kicking a ball.
I have attached a photo showing the best locations to try activating a liftgate when a trailer hitch is installed... view full answer...
Typically when a trailer hitch is installed on a vehicle with the automatic liftgate sensor it does not disable the sensor. It does get in the way, but you can generally still activate the liftgate by kicking to the left or right of the receiver.
This is the same case for the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13205 on your 2018 Nissan Murano. I have attached an installation video of this trailer hitch on a 2017 Murano for you to reference as well.

The etrailer hitch part # e56RR that you referenced would still allow the hands free liftgate to function. You'd just have to kick to either side of the hitch opening. view full answer...
The Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 36675 shouldn't keep the liftgate function from working on your 2020 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid. We haven't personally tested this out (simply because we haven't had a car in with that feature), but when I've reached out to Draw-Tite about this they said that it worked just fine when they tested it out.
The only thing that will change is that you need to find the "sweet spot" for the sensors. Since you will be placing a piece of steel between the bumper and... view full answer...
The Curt hitch part # C13195 that fits your 2020 Hyundai Santa Fe will still allow your hands free liftgate to function but at worst you'd have to kick your foot to either side of the hitch opening. view full answer...
A trailer hitch may cause some interference with the hands-free liftgate on your wife's 2018 Toyota RAV4 because it is partially in front of the motion sensor, but it will still work as normal. For example, the etrailer # e98864 will allow full functionality of the liftgate, but your wife will just need to activate it with her foot on either side of the hitch receiver instead of the middle. Otherwise, everything will be the same in regard to the liftgate. With all of that being said, this... view full answer...
The Draw-Tite # DT82QR will allow full functionality of the liftgate on your 2019 Toyota RAV4, but you will just need to activate it your foot on either side of the hitch receiver instead of the middle. Otherwise, everything will be the same in regard to the liftgate. view full answer...
Installing the Draw-Tite # 76199 Class III hitch on your 2021 Alfa Romeo Stelvio will prevent the liftgate sensors under the center of the bumper from picking up movement, but if you wave your foot a few inches to one side or the other of the hitch receiver opening, the hands free liftgate will work just fine for you.
If you'll be towing with the hitch, you'll need a few other parts to complete your towing system. For a trailer wiring harness, use part # 118777. For a ball mount, use #... view full answer...
