I'd imagine shipping to Ontario, Canada for that trailer hitch would be insane, but worth a check?? Postal code N0E 1R0

Is towing a single axle trailer for mulch and topsoil, etc.. really doable on the Yaris? Anyone here ever tow small loads with it?

Best guesstimate is about $31 USD. I can't find anything about duties though, so I don't know how we'd that that in. I know I've had a hard time getting parts in Canada that I've sent from my company to my customers (for me while at their location). I'm not sure if it would be the same for smaller lower value items from person to person.

I know there are a few people on the forum who do tow a little with their Yaris with utility trailers, like yard debris and dirt that have posted on the forum. I remember reading a thread of a guy in New Hampshire that did, but I can't find it at the moment. The tongue weight on the hitch is 200lb and the tow weight is 2000lbs, but that's just the hitch. I do not know the capacity of the Yaris. There is obviously a limit with engine load, braking capacity, etc, but occasionally towing a small trailer and probably a jet ski would be no worse than driving with four 300lb guys except that the load isn't on your suspension.

Let's see if this helps. I'm using this same Drawtite hitch receiver with a Drawtite ball mount # 3593 (2-1/8" rise) pulling this trailer (total ~500lbs counting the trailer weight and patio door):
