Question:

Hello I would like to install the draw tite trailer hitch 76199 on my 2023 Alfa Romeo Stelvio. My question is will I still be able to use the liftgate kick sensor? I read somewhere that the hitch will block it? Thank you

Expert Reply:

Yes, you will still be able to use the kick sensor with the draw tite # 76199 installed on your 2023 Alfa Romeo Stelvio. That being said, the hitch can limit the sensor in the area directly under the hitch receiver. However if you wave your foot to either side of the receiver, you will still be able to get it to activate. So in other words, you will still be able to use the kick sensor, but it will work a little differently.
