Helpful Expert Reply:
We have yet to have any complaints about Curt trailer hitch # C12172 interfering with the hands-free hatch on your 2018 Lexus NX 300. I can tell you that on other vehicles that have a similar feature a trailer hitch can sometimes limit the areas in which the sensors operate so you may have to kick your foot out in a different location than you normally would.
