Good news! Installing a trailer hitch like the etrailer # e98903 on your 2020 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid will not affect the operation of the hands free liftgate feature on your vehicle. You'll simply slowly kick your foot to either side of the hitch receiver to open the rear cargo hatch in the same manner that you normally would.
If you're going to be towing a trailer at all with your 2020 Pacifica Hybrid you'll need a wiring harness, ball mount and hitch ball to complete your towing setup. I've linked the recommended wiring harness, as well as ball mount and hitch ball for you below so that you can easily locate those items if you need them.

Ball Mount/Hitch Ball: etrailer Ball Mount Kit for 2" Hitches # 989900
