Hi Ken!
The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Matte Black Finish - Class III - 2" # e69ZV technically will interfere with that kick sensor on your 2026 Lexus TX 350, but the function will not be lost. You will just need to kick on either side of the receiver tube to find where it will be actuated. It will likely take a few times to get used to it, but it will be second nature after that.
What are you planning on using the hitch for?
