Yaris Hybrid Towing
Hi all,
I have a 62 plate T4 yaris hybrid, I want to tow a classic motorbike (weight about 340lbs) even though the manual doesn't "recommend" towing, surely the car could manage this small weight. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Cheers Graham |

Seems like it's sorted, Witter do a towbar for that model.
Cheers, Graham |

Towing legallity
It is illegal to tow with a hybrid yaris until such time as the Ministry sets out its weights etc.
It doesnt matter if you can buy a tow bar. Anyway, I would not want to be thefirst to try it |

As above the car has to be type approved aka homologated to tow a lot of smaller modern cars have low nose weights or are not type approved
the facelift 14-17 maybe approved for towing but you need to check your V5 Edit. https://blog.toyota.co.uk/toyota-hyb...wing-questions |
