Question:

Does the installation of this hitch on a 2023 Lexus RX350h interfere with the rear kick sensor to automatically open the rear hatch?

Expert Reply:

We have a hitch for your 2023 Lexus RX 350h with the Curt part # C29VV but the Draw Tite you mentioned does not work. The Curt would still allow the rear kick sensor to open the rear tailgate but you would have to kick to either side of the hitch.

I installed the draw tite and it looks great but the sensor doesn’t work. Did you guys have any information or found a way to make it work? Can we move it slightly for it to work? Thanks in advance!

@FernandoC This is first we've heard that it doesn't work at all with this hitch. If there's a way you can come up with to move the sensor to the sides I would try that and that should help.

@JamesonC All it does now is beep twice but it doesn’t open.
