Expert Answers about Toyota Yaris


  • Roof Rack and Kayak Carrier Recommendation for 2014 Toyota Yaris with Naked Roof
  • The first thing you'll need on your 2014 Toyota Yaris is a roof rack to carry a kayak carrier. The best value for that is the Inno square bar roof rack that consists of part numbers # INB117, # INSUT, and # INK791. This rack gives you a higher quality roof rack that fits well and installs easily at the lower price point of the more economic racks. Then for a kayak carrier the Yakima JayLow # Y04073 is a really great choice as it's easy to load, installs easily, and can fold down when not...

  • Hitch to Fit 2010 Toyota Yaris 5-door Hatchback
  • There are several hitches designed for the 2010 Toyota Yaris 5-door Hatchback, but none of them are specifically for the RS bumper cover. I see that they all mount right against the standard bumper cover. After reviewing the installation video it is unclear if it requires a slight modification for the RS. If it did it would be very low under the bumper mostly. I have included a link to that video. I prefer the Draw-Tite # 24819 hitch you selected as installation should be a little easier...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2008 Toyota Yaris Hatchback
  • We have what you need to flat tow your 2008 Toyota Yaris hatchback, but the Curt tow bar # C19745 wouldn't be a great route to go with since we don't have any base plate kits that fit your vehicle that are designed for it. Instead you would want to start with the part # 521181-1 which is a confirmed fit for your vehicle. In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking to flat tow your vehicle. The most popular...

  • Trunk Mount Bike Rack for a 2007 Toyota Yaris Sport with Rear Spoiler
  • Since your 2007 Toyota Yaris Sport has a spoiler the best option and really the only option is going to be the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top rack # HRF2-3. This rack was designed specifically for vehicles that have spoilers. The issue with a spoiler is that it is not meant to support weight. The Over-the-Top rack solves this issue. It has an additional upper arm piece that moves the top straps up and over the spoiler so no stress is put on it. I have linked a video showing how it works...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2007 Toyota Yaris with Roadmaster Base Plate

  • There are several trunk mount bike racks that are listed as a fit for the 2009 Toyota Yaris hatchback. I have included a link to them for you.

That may be why the mechanic said they would not put one on. But there are hitches made for it. A trunk mount is a good option. The only thing that would...

  • Is Thule Canyon XT Roof Cargo Basket a Fit for Round Crossbars
  • There aren't round bar specific brackets available for the Thule Canyon XT # TH859XT. This basket is compatible with round bars though so your best option would be to slide the basket as far back on the bars as you can and tighten them down good.
