The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 76046-SK is a great option for a 2019 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid. It features a bolt-on design, has a hidden crosstube, and an integrated trailer connector mounting bracket if needed. In regards to the hands free liftgate feature, this will indeed still work but you'd need to place you foot on either side of the receiver tube opening so access is limited but not negated.

If you want full uninterrupted access, Chrysler does sell a bracket (68275630AG) to relocate this sensor.
