Yaris Towing 1000 lbs?

[Snyprwlf47]

Been awhile since I was on YW and I come back to my favorite subject, Yaris towing.

I use a Curt Class 1 Sport hitch on my Yaris and moved from WV to GA towing a 1900 pound U-Haul trailer. The experience was not one I would recommend, it took some getting used to and despite my best efforts I did jackknife during an emergency stop on the interstate. I do however regularly tow my ATV and trailer weighing in at around 700lbs together with little effort.

The record for my towing? 6 miles over rolling hills including an on hill start towing a 2005 F150 FX4 weighing in at around 7300 pounds.

I am still on my original clutch at 140k miles and would consider 1000lbs within the realm of feasible towing on the Yaris. I would recommend an aftermarket intake of some sort however, it doesn't seem like much but the difference for me was a lot less downshifting on small highway hills.

I have attached a couple pictures I had on my pc of different towing with the yaris I have done, The one with my wifes scooter was also loaded down in the back to the max with the trip being just over 1k miles.
