We haven't been able to test fit the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver with a 2018 Buick Regal TourX that has the hands free liftgate yet but what we have found is you typically just have to kick to the left or right of the receiver instead of waving your foot back and forth.

It will slightly interfere but you shouldn't lose the feature altogether. The installation instructions have been linked for you to reference as well.
