We tow a trailer-shop that weighs about 400kg (I do not know how many lbs are) and the truth is that when we find a slope up the car costs quite up, we did not consider buying a caravan for that problem, it is a 1.4 D4D of 90cv

great story
great story / I too, have carried way too much weight and been aboard friends that have done the same and once heard a leaf spring go cling clang as we turned the corner in his van with construction equipment for everything. I carried 68 doors thru an ice storm on a pickup meant for 32 doors, but hey, its ice, make one trip, not two.
I have towed about 2200 pounds with my Yaris, and nope, didn't like it, but did it. Just go slow. I regularly tow the garbage to the dump in mine, and occasionally the oddity like 5 sliding door panels laid flat n hopin not to break the glass, etc and so on. Gonna get me a boat soon, and while I will tow down the road, I will limit the slopes as to what my car drops in the water, so as to not get pulled back in, LOL. But, my car tows up to 700 comfortably. 700-1200 a bit more tasked but still gets the job done. 1200-2200 very tasked and asking for tranny troubles in my mind. But, can get the job done, especially on more level terrain. I will be gettin a hitch for the Camry, for the heavier duty or steeper inclined tasks as that has 268 HP to our 105-125 pending upgrades.

just thought i'd add a quick story about towing with a yaris! today i took an old big-screen tv(think 55" console-style) to the recycling fair in town. i rented a uhaul 5x8 open trailer and performed all the trailer wiring myself last week. i installed a t-connector kit from reese that was made specifically for the yaris sedan(don't ask me why it's just made for the sedan- i think it just has to do with the length of the black wire that goes from the battery to the control module). i've had the hitch installed for many years, but was only using it to haul bikes.
it was actually kind of fun to do once i got the nervousness dealt with(i've never towed a trailer before)! just go slow, give yourself lots of room for braking, and take the turns carefully. i got lots of looks from people at the fair who probably have never seen a small car with such a big trailer! |
