Yes, it will! The Draw-Tite Hitch item # DT95PR will block the sensor around the 2" receiver but other then that location it'll still work. This hitch is custom fit for your 2024 Grand Highlander Limited.

If you are planning on towing you will also need a wiring harness item # 119250KIT for a 4-way or item # TK57VR for a 7-way and a ball mount kit item # C45534.
