  • Can a 2003 Toyota Echo Be Dolly Towed
  • I looked in the owner's manual for your 2003 Toyota Echo and it doesn't specify whether or not the vehicle can be dolly towed.

  • 2003 Toyota Echo Trailer Hitch - Bolts Are Spinning In The Frame What Can I Do?
  • The bolts that come with the Curt hitch # C11289 that you mentioned go into weld nuts in the frame. If the bolts are spinning, this likely means the weld nuts have broken loose.

Even if you could get to them to remove the bolts, the weld nuts would have to be re attached to the inside of the frame in order...

  • Recommended Method to Transport 2 Surfboards on 2000 Toyota Echo 2-Door with Bare Roof

  • 2005 Toyota Echo Roof Rack and Kayak Carrier Recommendation
  • The SportRack Roof Rack part # SR1003 can fit your 2005 Toyota Echo. To determine if this would carry two kayaks you need to consider two things. The weight capacities of your vehicle roof and this roof rack (130 lbs). The lesser of the two capacities will be your overall capacity.
