The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver #C99FR will likely interfere with the sensor once installed on your 2021 Toyota Highlander XSE. From what we have found, you will have to kick your foot to either side of the receiver in order to get the sensor to work, and functionality may be very limited or possibly lost. This is going to be the case with all of the hitches for this vehicle due to the location of the sensor.
