Hands Free Rear Liftgate Compatability With Draw-Tite Receiver On a 2020 Alfa Romeo Stelvio
Updated 07/01/2021 | Published 06/30/2021
Question:
I have a 2020 Alfa Romeo Stelvio with a hands free rear hatch sensor. Do you know if the sensor will still function with the Draw Tite hitch part #76199 attached to the vehicle? Thanks.

Expert Reply:
The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76199 may affect the operation of the hands free rear hatch on your 2020 Alfa Romeo Stelvio. We have yet to get any reviews that confirm it will still operate but at the same time no one has said that it will not. With these type of situations it is often seen that the sensor will still operate correctly but it may only work to one side or the other and requires the motion to be very close the the receiver.
I recommend installing the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118777 when you install the receiver. It will be easier to access all the wiring while you have the bumper removed. This will provide you a 4-way flat connector which is needed for towing most small trailers. You can also use Auxiliary Lights # C53201 if your bike rack or cargo carrier happen to block the taillights on your Alfa.
