Is there a good hitch-mounted bike rack that doesn’t obstruct the trunk door?

Question

Does anyone have/know of a bike rack that stays out of the way of the trunk door, so that you can still open/close the trunk without moving the bikes/rack? Is that an unrealistic hope? Or do you just have to get some kind of extender if you want that much clearance?

I have a 2024 SEL (digital teal). I’m planning to get a tow hitch installed soon so I can put a bike rack on there, and maybe a cargo rack sometimes. Was gonna go with the OEM hitch (which is 1.25 in) because I’d like to avoid jeopardizing the warranty. I’m not sure what bike rack to get. I don’t need top of the line — just might be nice to have bikes on some family trips (Therefore the times that we will use the rack are also times that we will need to access the trunk.)

I was thinking about the Hollywood Racks Trail Rider - this one clamps down on the frame (instead of wheel) which could be important for us because our bikes have fenders.
