Will A Trailer Hitch Interfere With The Hands-Free Lift Gate On A 2017 Toyota Rav4 Platinum
Question:
Will the hands free lift gate still operate with a 2 inch trailer hitch installed on a 2017 Platinum Rav 4?
asked by: Tom H
Expert Reply:
While installing a trailer hitch can cause some interference of the hands-free liftgate function for your 2017 Platinum Toyota RAV4, it can definitely still work. The hitch mounting location can mean that only the centrally-positioned sensor will be affected. Those to the sides of the hitch tube usually function without issue.
The Curt hitch part # C13406 we have found does not interfere as much and will work fine if you kick with your feet to the sides of the hitch to engage the sensor.

Included is a video with more information on this hitch option. If you are looking to do some towing, add a bike rack, or cargo carrier to you Rav 4, I am happy to recommend solutions for your situation.
