Hey all,

My wife recently got a 2018 NX with kick sensor that she special ordered. While we were waiting for the car to arrive (FOUR MONTHS), I ordered a CURT after market hitch to install, but when we got the car, our salesperson, unprompted told us that the kick sensor wouldn't work with a Lexus hitch . I assumed that if it didn't work with the OEM one that the CURT hitch wouldn't work as well and and returned it to Amazon.

However, it got me thinking that it may have been hearsay. Can anyone confirm that the combo of the two doesn't work? (The Lexus or CURT hitch) Or even better, a workaround?

Thanks!

 

you can disconnect the sensor and put the hitch on, but correct you cannot have both

 

haven't seen what the sensor looks like, I wonder if it can be moved off to the side. Even a hack job might not be too bad, since I assume it wouldn't be easily seen.
