trailer or top rack

Thank god someone gets it, ozmdd. +2

If I got into an accident with my trailer attached and a bag of trash on it, I'm not going to be at fault just for having it and going against the bibl... er, the manual's recommendations...

If I get into an accident because I'm being a dumbass and hauling 1,000 pounds on my trailer, well that's another story.

I love how the manual states:
"Towing capacity (except for Canada):
Toyota does not recommend towing
a trailer with your vehicle. Your
vehicle is not designed for trailer
towing.

Towing capacity (for Canada):
318 kg (700 lb.)
Towing capacity means the maximum
gross trailer weight (trailer weight plus
its cargo weight)"

And then all over the rest of the manual it tells you how to properly use the vehicle to tow...
