Is There Way to Move KIck Sensor When Adding Curt Hitch C33NR on 2022 Lexus NX450h+
Updated 01/12/2026 | Published 09/01/2024
Question:
I have a 2022 Lexus NX450h+. I see you recommend the Curt C33NR, but it will likely interfere with the kick sensor for the rear hatch. Is there a solution to move the kick sensor so it will still work?

Hi Bruce,
Unfortunately there is not any type of workaround to easily move the kick sensor on your Lexus NX450h+ when installing the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C33NR.
I did some digging and it looks like there is a different kick sensor that can be ordered from Lexus and installed by them to have the sensor still work.

Hey Bruce, were you able to get the replacement kick sensor from Lexus for your NX450h+? Knowing how that worked out could help others trying to keep their hands-free liftgate working with the Curt hitch.
