Does Curt Hitch for 2021 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid Work with Hands Free Liftgate

Question:

Wondering if youve had the tow hitch C13416 go on a 2021 RAV4 Prime XSE with the rear opening kick sensor mounted inside the bumper. Worried it either wont work afterwards, or worse, always sense a break between the sensors and keep opening the door. Thanks.

The Curt Trailer Hitch # C13416 will only have hands free limitations at the center where the receiver tube is on your 2021 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid. We don't personally test for this function but the hitch manufacturers do which is where we got the tech tip from.

What you'll be able to do is kick your foot to either side of the hitch opening and the rear gate will open. It would not want to open all the time with the presence of the hitch as it is a motion sensor.
