Hey Charles yes, the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e75ZR will interfere with the hands free sensor but won't block it completely. So the sensor will still work, you'll just have to kick to either side of the receiver to get it to open.
If there is anything else you need help with, feel free to leave a comment and I'd be happy to help!

Hey Charles, how did things go with the hitch on your Highlander Hybrid? Did the hands-free liftgate sensor still work easily when you kicked to the side? Your update could make it easier for others setting up the same hitch.
