Do Hitches for 2022 Buick Encore GX Work with Handsfree Liftgate

Question:

My 2022 Buick Encore GX is equipped with a lift gate kick sensor. Is there a workaround for this or can the sensor be disabled? I rarely use it and have need to pull a small trailer to pick up supplies, etc.

The OEM plug that would allow you to use the #HM40975-11933 should be found at the rear of your 2022 Ram 5500. Everything indicates that your truck has the rectangular factory plug that would allow you to use this wiring harness. Typically this would…

I sure can Maria. I've got all the parts you need but let me start out by recommending a different hitch and telling you why I think you don't want the Curt item #C94UR for your Trailblazer. The Curt item #C94UR is a 1-1/4" hitch. That…
