Those with hitches... where did you get yours? - Toyota Yaris Forums

I like to haul bicycles in the back of my LB, I also have the Tanabe Medallon Touring so.....

1. Can I fit a hitch in the back with the Medallon Touring?

2. Where did you get your hitch?

Anyone with pics underneath showing mounting points would be great, also any bike rack recommendations would be great. I plan on hauling one bike but I like to have the flexibility of hauling 2, currently I have a MTB and beach cruiser.

FWIW I have a 'hatch back / trunk' bike racks but they're kinda unstable and my spoiler also gets int the way.

1.I have no idea.

2. I bought a hitch off ebay for about $100. The instructions were on the auction and it was a simple matter of taking bolts off and adding the hitch with longer bolts. Access was a PITA but patience prevailed.

This is just like the one I bought: Ebay Item Number: 120418319357
The instructions are included in a link on the auction.

I bought an inexpensive Thule rack that slides into the 1.25" hitch. My wife has the car now but I can get pics if you like.

Awesome.... thanks.

I'm at work, can't access ebay. Anyhow I like to see where the mounting points are, hopefull it'll clear the exhaust. If you can get pics it'd be super.

Thanks again.
