I like the quality yet economical Rhino Rack Roof Rack # RR87GR. This roof rack is a confirmed fit for 2015 Toyota Yaris 3-Door and 5-Door hatchback models that have no existing rails or crossbars. It's a quiet and aerodynamic locking rack that ships with everything needed for installation. The rack weight capacity is 165 lbs. (Be sure not to exceed your roof weight capacity).

Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2006 Toyota Yaris
According to our friends at Curt Manufacturing, their # C11480 Class I hitch is a fit for a 2006 Toyota Yaris Hatchback UNLESS it's an SE model. A hitch fit isn't available for the SE model. If you're looking for a hitch mounted bike rack, the Swagman Trailhead, part # S63360 provides all the important features like sturdy rubber cradles and straps to hold the bikes securely and prevent them from swaying back and forth during travel and an anti-rattle hitch bolt to prevent the rack from...

Recommended Flat Towing Setup For A 2011 Toyota Yaris
For your 2011 Toyota Yaris, we will start with the baseplates. If you have the sedan or the 5-door hatchback, I recommend the Roadmaster EZ Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # 521181-5.

I have added a link below to a help article which gives details on the best way to route the power wire. So you will need to do that, though the correct wiring harness is going to depend on if your 2007 Toyota Yaris is a hatchback...

How to Carry 3 Bikes on a 2010 Toyota Yaris 3-Door Hatchback
For just carrying bikes I recommend the Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 24911. With it the receiver will be visible but the cross tube will not. You can also use # 24819 and it will have the receiver showing but the cross tube will be hidden. The tongue weight capacity, which is the capacity to look at when using the hitch for a bike rack or cargo carrier, is 200 pounds. All of the trailer hitches for your Yaris including the Draw-Tite models listed here are Class I hitches. Class I trailer...

The Thule Hitching Post Pro # TH934XTR is compatible with Class I, II, and III trailer hitches.

Roof Rack and Paddleboard Carrier for a 2009 Toyota Yaris Sedan
First let's look at roof racks for your gal's 2009 Toyota Yaris sedan.

Will The Roadmaster Base Plate 521181-1 Fit A 2009 Toyota Yaris 2 Door?
Your 2009 Toyota Yaris will actually be referred to as a 3 door hatchback as they count the rear hatch as the 3rd door. So with that being said, the Roadmaster EZ Base Plate Kit # 521181-1 will indeed fit your vehicle. However, you will need Fish Wire Bolt Leader - 1/2" # C58400 to complete the install. There are only two 1/2" carriage bolts, so you will just need two bolt leaders to get the install done.

Comparing Curt Trailer Hitches for a 2009 Toyota Yaris 5-Door Hatchback
Curt trailer hitch # C11480 actually will replace C11050. Hitch # C11480 is the newer design and the model I recommend for you due to slight design changes. If you want to use the hitch for an accessory such as a bike rack or cargo carrier then you have to make sure the accessory is rated for use with a Class I trailer hitch. Also, with a bike rack, you are limited to 2 bikes maximum on a Class I hitch. Curt also says you have to use stabilization strap # 18050 when using this hitch for...

Can a Curt Tow Bar be Adapted to Fit Roadmaster EZ Base Plates on a 2007 Toyota Yaris
There isn't an adapter to go from the Curt tow bar to the Roadmaster base plates on your 2007 Toyota Yaris. What I recommend is a similar tow bar that is compatible; the Tracker # RM-020. And if you want to make the base plate arms easily removable the only other part needed is a set of quick disconnects # RM-201.

Trunk Mount Bike Rack for a 2008 Toyota Yaris for Long-Distance Highway Driving
The Hollywood Racks Express trunk mount bike rack # HRE3 does fit your son's 2008 Toyota Yaris (sedan or hatchback) but it wouldn't be my first choice for long-distance highway driving. The rack would secure to the vehicle fine but this rack does not have anti-sway cradles which means the bike(s) would swing back and forth a lot. I would go with the Thule OutWay # TH45JV. This is a quality rack that is the easiest to install when comparing it to other trunk racks. It uses only two rubber-coated...

Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2015 Toyota Yaris with Manual Transmission
A car-mount tow bar like the Blue Ox Adventurer # BX7322 is not vehicle specific but its fit will depend on using compatible base plates or adding adapters if the base plates are from a different manufacturer. Flat towing requires a few components in addition to the tow bar. You'll also need a lighting/wiring solution, safety cables and a supplementary braking system. Each of these items is detailed in the linked article. We offer Blue Ox base plates # BX3783 for your Yaris hatchback....
