According to the manufacturer, the etrailer brand # e98907 Class III hitch will affect the rear liftgate sensors, but only in that the area right under the center of the bumper. If you try about one foot to either side of the hitch receiver tube, the sensors will pick up the movement. You might need to reach a bit further back under the bumper than you're used to, but the sensors should still pick up the movement of your foot.
