How is it "reasonable" to make modifications where the manufacturer recommends against it? So welcome to the club. This is a great place to learn and contribute. YarisWorld rocks!

Because "reasonable" is not limited to just what is written in a manual. There are many things outside of that context which would meet the legal definition of reasonable. Also, the exact same vehicle is approved for towing (by toyota) in other markets (Canada, etc.) Aftermarket roof racks, while not recommended by Toyota, are considered a "reasonable" use of our vehicles. Also, attaching a bolt-on towing hitch is not a modification. If you are not clear on whether or not something is reasonable, then you probably shouldn't do it. |
