Hey Wesley, thanks for reaching out, and good question. First off, the EcoHitch Stealth Trailer Hitch Receiver # EH74CR is the correct fit for your 2025 Nissan Ariya Platinum Plus.
The receiver will partially block the foot sensor, but the sensor will still work. The area right beneath the receiver will be blocked, but waving your foot on either side of the receiver will still activate the sensor. It might take you a few tries to find the sweet spot, but once you do, you'll be able to use the sensor basically like normal. It'll just work a little bit differently than before.
What will you be using the hitch for?
