The Draw Tite hitch part # DT55GR is a confirmed fit for the 2022 Buick Encore GX models with the auto lift tailgate. You'd just have to kick to either side of the hitch opening for the hands free liftgate to still function.

I checked with Blue Ox just now and confirmed that the base plate kit part # BLU43FR does fit your 2022 Buick Encore GX AWD. This actually does not fit the Sport Touring models but does fit yours.

etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar - # e74ZR (with safety cables)
7-Wire to 6-Wire Wiring Kit - # RM-152-1676-7

For vehicles like your 2021 Buick Encore GX that have to have the battery disconnected to flat tow you would power the Roadmaster stoplight switch part # RM62FR from the battery directly.
