Towing a 16 foot camper trailer - Toyota Yaris Forums

Tow weight for my Yaris is 900kg = 1984lbs (with mechanical overrun brakes) and 550kg = 1213lbs (trailer without brakes).

Thats german TÜV and of course TOYOTA approved so i guess its safe for my car.

Wow! That's a generous rating for a car with a 1.3L engine. Is that right out of your owner's manual?

Right out of my cars papers, yes.
