There could be a carriage difference between the Yaris design sold in the US and the Yaris sold in other countries. For example of known differences between models, Toyota offers different size motors, and a diesel motor, in Europe, than are not offered in the US.
Plus there are import restrictions between the US and Canada because of different emissions standards. So there could be enough differences between the US model other models that make towing with the US version unsafe. Since Toyota provides a towing loop bolt for the US model of the Yaris, and recommends that tow truck operators not tow the US version of the Yaris using the under carriage, because of how light the under carriage is on the US model of the Yaris, Toyota may view the US version of the Yaris to be unsafe to do any towing. If you decide to tow, with make sure that you have maximum automobile insurance coverage available. Last edited by ellenbetty; 06-29-2009 at 11:49 AM. Reason: grammer errors |
