Hitch and Liftgate
I hope to be installing a hitch on my vehicle soon. For those of you who have already done so, may I ask if this has affected the "hands free" (using your foot), lift gate? From the research I have done it appears the sensors are quite wide so I am hoping there will be problems. Thanks for...

It's a Stealth Hitch brand hitch. I even sent them feedback after install how to make their procedure better. Years later another forum member complained that Stealth Hitches wouldn't ship them a hitch which didn't make sense to me. They shipped mine right to my door.
Great job on that
Thanks! Great job on that. It looks super clean. I emailed stealth hitches yesterday and they said they didn't have anything for my car. Do you know what model of hitch you used from Stealth?Hitch and Liftgate

I just shared them with over email and they said it's discontinued. Looks like I'll be going with a roof rack instead
Supremely disappointing to be sure. This is the first car I've owned that I'm considering replacing with another identical model. I REALLY like having a hitch for bikes, my e-bike weighs 55 pounds and I won't lift that on my roof.
If I were in your shoes (knowing what I know today) I would ask them if they will make me a "custom" (following the old mfg guidelines) for $1000. If they said no, I'd ask for $1200. Since there is no development, just follow old mfg drawings for the sub-frame. Yes I know fixed hitches cost $300. I personally get $900 of value out of having a QD on my hitch. It hurts at purchase, but all smiles from there. Track organizers would be upset at me if I dragged my hitch on the track. Especially Laguna Seca since they'll have new tarmac this year.
They'd still say no, but these are all handmade in the US, so it's not THAT farfetched to make a one-off.
For me, now I have to make sure I have enough overlap between cars to move the parts over

Well I just have a analogue enduro and dh bikes right now so it's not that big of a deal to put them on the roof. Main concern is having to drive slower but I'll get over it. If I end up getting an e-bike I'll probably re-consider the hitch.Supremely disappointing to be sure. This is the first car I've owned that I'm considering replacing with another identical model.
