Towing a trailer, anyone?

[toad]

careful when you ask questions here about trailer towing! only discussions about oil viscosity raise more passion than the dreaded 'can i tow with the yaris?'. i'm not going to comment one way or the other, but i find it ironic that some folks will bash someone for even mentioning 'towing' on this forum, however, whatever you want to do to your engine to raise the hp is fair game

Towing? That's a little strange because I think the Canadian owners manual actually list a tow rating for the MT model. Why would folks be bashers on the idea? Besides I think the tow rating was high enough to pull a trailered small Jet ski or even a trailered snowmobile.
