Expert Reply:
The etrailer hitch # e98848 does not prevent the hands free liftgate function of your 2020 Honda CR-V as long as you move the sensors. You'd have to just move your foot to either side of the hitch and it would work just like it's supposed to after doing so.
According to Honda:
In order to restore the hands free feature, you will need to remove the bumper shell, and move the sensor unit 7 inches to the right, as that is where it's installed if the Honda trailer hitch accessory is installed.
