Will Hands Free Liftgate Still Function On 2024 Toyota Venza With etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver

Question:

Will installing an e25AR trailer hitch on a 2024 Toyota Venza, prevent the foot activated lift gate feature from working after the hitch is installed?

Terrific question John. Our etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e25AR is not going to prevent the use of your hands free liftgate on your 2024 Toyota Venza. Since you will have the 2" receiver opening under the rear fascia it will limit the area you are able to perform the kick motion to get the liftgate to open.

I recommend installing the 4-Way # C59496 when you install the receiver. This will allow you to connect to most small trailers you might tow and to use Auxiliary Lights # C53201 on hitch mounted accessories which impair other drivers view of your tail lights.
