The hands-free lift gate feature on your 2020 Mazda CX-9 will still be functional if you install the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76020. You may need to kick using a back and forth motion though instead of just waving your foot left to right for the sensors to pick up the motion.

Attached is an installation video of this trailer hitch on a 2019 CX-9 that you can check out.

If you let me know what you plan on using your trailer hitch for I can make some additional recommendations if necessary.
