Installing a hitch, like # 76034, on a 2017 Ford Explorer will still allow you to use your auto lift gate. The hitch will only block some of the sensors that are used in the auto lift system.
We have installed hitches on Explorers with this option and found that you will have to sweep your foot on either side of the hitch opening.
