The only thing you listed that the Yaris may not be able to do is haul a boat, but that depends on the size of the boat. I carry mountain bikes all the time and have hauled a small sailboat, even a snowmobile once (which is considerably heavier than a dirt bike or ATV).

In my Yaris I drive mountains in the snow and dirt roads year round, some with ruts that require careful attention. I have never failed to get where I wanted to go.

Also keep in mind that the truck you are looking at is built by a company that is bankrupt.

Not very relevant, the truck is out of warranty.



Again, Bail-Out, you are more than welcome to do as you please with your Yaris - but I advise against publicly announcing against what the manufacturer recommends. If you get in an accident with a trailer, even if it's not your fault, an over-zealous insurance company (like the other guy's) might have you chased after for gross negligeance, because you went against the manufacturer's recommendation, regardless of what the Yaris is listed for in other countries. Is your financial life really worth giving up because you felt renting a truck (or owning a cheapo truck) was too much hassle?

If its just about towing a boat and the autocross car why not just rent a truck for the occasion.I'm sure with a small trailer the Yaris can handle the rest. Or why not just add the truck to the rest of the toys and keep the Yaris.

I cant afford to insure more than one car at a time, and its alot of hassle renting a truck

i wouldn't mind picking up those springs you have, you using them on stock shocks?

btw, I second the yaris able to haul light loads such as bikes-- it's very capable with it's higher torque output. but it also depends on where your hauling, if it's mountains and snowy roads, I'd suggest an AWD personally...
