Does EcoHitch Trailer Hitch For 2021 Toyota Highlander Interfere With Hands-Free Liftgate
Question:
I have a 2021 toyota highlander limited hybrid. Does your tow hitch allow for the foot kick to open the rear hatch to still work after the tow hitch is installed?

I checked directly with EcoHitch for you, and the Hands-Free Liftgate on your 2021 Toyota Highlander will not be affected by the hitch after it is installed so you will be able to use it as normal. The correct fit for your '21 Highlander is the following:
- EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # EH35VR
This will give you a hitch that not only will not affect the function of your liftgate, but also help keep the aesthetic of your Highlander because of its concealed crosstube so only the receiver is showing. I also wanted to mention that if you plan on doing some towing with your '21 Highlander and also need a trailer wiring harness, the correct part will depend on if you have the factory tow package or not:
- WITHOUT Factory Tow Package: T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # TK99FR
- WITH Factory Tow Package: T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness for Factory Tow Package # TK74FR
To mount the 4-way you will also need the Mounting Bracket 4-Pole Flat # 18144.
