Hello Chad, thanks for reaching out. The Draw-Tite # DT55GR you mentioned is for a Buick Encore GX. In your question you say Buick Enclave GL, so please confirm which vehicle you have. If yours is the Encore, is it the GX model? Please confirm.
If you do have a 2021 Buick Encore GX, the Draw-Tite # DT55GR will fit but it will obscure the sensor. This would be the case for any aftermarket hitch on the Encore GX. In some cases the sensor still works, you just need to waive your foot on either size of the receiver, but in some cases the sensor functionality will be lost.
Leave a reply below with any other questions and I am happy to get back to you.

Hey Chad, did you find out whether your vehicle is the Enclave or the Encore GX? I'm curious if the hands-free liftgate still worked after adding the Draw-Tite hitch. Your update could help others with the same setup.
