Does the Draw-Tite Hitch Receiver Interfere with ID.4 Pro-S Power Lift-Gate?

Question:

Shopping for a VW ID.4 Pro-S now, but undecided between the AWD package that includes a trailer hitch, and the RWD version that would require me to add one myself. Does this trailer hitch interfere with the Pro-Ss power lift-gate sensor thats located under the bumper?

No, the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver item # DT84GR does not interfere with the VW ID.4 Pro-S's power lift gate sensor. I have attached 2 pictures of the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver item # DT84GR installed on a 2021 Volkswagen ID4 Pro. The only part of the hitch receiver that protrudes past the bumper is the 2"x2" receiver.
