Trailer Hitch Recommendation that Allows Hands-Free Liftgate of 2018 Chrysler Pacifica to Function

Question

Question:

I assume the when the hitch is installed on a 2018 Chrysler Pacifica the hands-free liftgate is block and no longer functional. Is there a method available to move the sensor or a hitch that does not affect its functionality in the factory installed location?

For your 2018 Chrysler Pacifica the etrailer Hitch part # e98903 is a confirmed fit and would still allow you to use your hands free liftgate. At the very worst you might have to run your foot to either side of the hitch opening but it will still work just fine.
