Will Curt Hitch C26VV Mess With Kick Sensor On 2025 Toyota Grand Highlander?
Question:
Hey, I just bought a 2025 Grand Highlander Hybrid Limited which has a kick sensorinch for the rear hatch/lift gate. I would really like to install a hitch for a bike rack or cargo carrier, but will this interfere with the kick sensor? Ive read different things and didnt know if your below bumper hitch would interfere? Any information would be much appreciated, thank you!

Hey Craig, thanks for reaching out. For starters, the Curt # C26VV is th correct fit for the 2025 Toyota Grand Highlander, as long as you do not have the dual exhaust model. We have sold quite a few of these Curt # C26VV hitches for the Grand Highlander now. We have heard back from several of our customers regarding the kick sensor functionality and here is the scoop.
The kick sensor will still work. What happens is the sensor can no longer detect anything directly below the hitch receiver, since it blocks this area. What you can do it wave you foot to either side of the receiver to activate the sensor. So, the sensor will still work with the hitch installed, it will just work a little bit differently.
Feel free to reply below with any other questions.
