Hi Ricky,

What's the year/make/model of your vehicle so I can see if there's a trailer hitch that won't interfere with the liftgate sensors?

@Ricky It looks like the larger 2" receiver tube sits in the way a bit for the sensors because the 1-1/4" hitch # DT92RR is the only hitch listed as being compatible with liftgate sensors. The sensors will still work with the # C23FR and a 2" hitch offers the most versatility so it's going to be a better option, even though it is an inconvenience to find the sweet spot to activate them.
