Does etrailer.com Hitch # E98864 Fit 2018 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid and Allow Handsfree Liftgate

Question:

Can you tell me if the trailer hitch is compatible with the tailgate footy assist feature on the 2018 Rav 4 Hybrid or will it disable the assist feature by blocking the sensor? Thanks

For the etrailer hitch part # E98864 that you referenced it's going to block a portion of the liftgate sensor of your 2018 Toyota Hybrid but what you can do is kick your foot to either side of the hitch tube and the liftgate will open like normal.

I attached an install video for this hitch for you to check out as well.
