Expert Reply:

The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C29VV will definitely fit your 2024 Lexus RX 500h and you'll still have the kick sensor functionality. Just know that you'll have to kick to either side of the receiver instead of "swiping" your foot under the bumper for the sensors to pick up your foot movement.

Got this for my 2023 RX 500h and it installed easily and looks great. However, I've found no way to have the kick sensor for the rear gate to still work. Contrary to what is said above, kicking to either side of the receiver does not seem to work. Any ideas?

@GaryM Thanks for the feedback! Have you been able to get the sensors to pick your foot up anywhere else? The most common places are to either side of the receiver, but if your sensors aren't picking up your foot movement in that location you'll want to try further out to see where the sensors are able to sense that movement.

@JonG Yes I've waved my foot corner to corner many, many times and nothing is happening.

@GaryM Have you tried a back and forth "kicking" motion? Just checking because you used the term "wave" and sometimes with that extra piece of metal between the sensors and your foot you basically have to act like you're kicking a ball under your bumper for the sensors to pick up the movement.
