Question:

I want to put a trailer hitch on my 2021 Lexus RX350L for a bike carrier. I have the foot opener option for the rear door. Will a trailer hitch interfere with its operation. Thank you

Expert Reply:

The hitch you need for your 2021 Lexus RX 350 L is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13394. This won't keep the foot operation from working but the hitch will get somewhat in the way of the sensors so you'll need to figure out the exact spot to kick your foot for the sensors to pick up your foot motion.

If you don't already have a bike rack I recommend checking out the Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Rack # KU84FR because it's right in the sweet spot of price-point and easy-to-use features. I especially like the U-Shaped frame because it makes loading/unloading your bikes easier than your standard platform rack.

Attached is an installation video of the hitch and a review video of the bike rack for you to check out.

In all likelihood your hitch like the Curt #C13394 is just slightly bent, which would cause the holes to be misaligned. Some people will use open steps for leverage, vices and even car jacks to apply controlled force to bend the hitch back. You will…
