The feature you're referring to is called the hands free liftgate and it's one of the most popular questions we get asked about trailer hitch compatibility. Unfortunately, no matter which hitch you go with like the Hidden Hitch by Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver part # DT98GR which is a great option, there is going to be some interference as the cross tube mounts right where the sensor points. That said, it doesn't mean the sensors won't work at all, it just means they are going to be a bit more finicky and harder to pickup. There really isn't a way around this though and for most people, giving up some ease of use is worth the benefit a trailer hitch offers.
