Yaris hb with trailer hitch.

[David C]

Would you use the stock setup hitch for a pushing application, like a foot of light snow, width of the car ? Or to move around a 2000lbs rolling weight in a parking lot ? I feel like it's pushing the hitch/tow point to the limits and could possibly damage the tabs due to the torsion. But perhaps Toyota really built the chassis with some beefy steel and I'm worried about nothing.

Would be cool to see a picture of your cargo carrier setup. Did you use tie down straps to secure the carrier to each corner of the car to prevent sway ?
