Hey Charles, the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e75ZR is going to interfere with the that liftgate sensor but you're not going to lose it entirely. You will just have to kick to either side of the receiver to find the "sweet spot", which should activate the sensor still.

Hey Charles, how did things go with the hitch and your Highlander’s liftgate sensor? Were you able to get the sensor to work by kicking to the side of the receiver? Your update could make it easier for others with the same setup.
