The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch # 76290 that fits your 2019 Honda Passport can interfere with the hands-free liftgate feature. You will likely have to kick your foot to one side of the receiver as opposed to the middle or it could be lost.

This is a Class III hitch with a 2 inch receiver and a 6,000 lb towing capacity with a hefty 900 lb tongue weight capacity though you should always be sure to verify your Passport's towing capacity in your owner's manual.

I have added a link to the install instructions of this hitch for you to check out as well.
