Tahoe/Yukon Tow Vehicle for Tab 400 Question

If you are using a late model Tahoe or Yukon to tow a Tab 400 Boondock, are you able to open the liftgate while connected to the Tab??  Currently, we tow our 2019 Tab 400 with a GMC Canyon and when connected to the Tab, we are unable to fully lower our tailgate because of the location of the tongue jack.  We use a straight (no drop or lift) ball assembly into the receiver.  We are shopping for a new vehicle and want to make sure that we can open the rear liftgate while hooked up.
If you are able to open your liftgate while connected; Are you using a hitch extender or any special ball assembly?

    Howdy,  We are towing with a 2016 Tahoe and the lift gate clears the tongue jack of our 2022 TAB400 with ease while on the ball.  The ball is bolted to an adjustable hitch mount.  The ball is 5.5" rearward and 10" down from the bumper step most rearward point.  We are using the OEM Chevrolet hitch receiver.
