Expert Answers about Toyota Yaris


  • Recommended Bike Rack for a 2014 Toyota Yaris SE 5-Door Hatchback
  • I wish I could give you a hitch mounted option but according to our manufactures no one makes a hitch for your Yaris SE modeled vehicle, but I do have another option for you. A roof mounted option would be great for your Yaris. I have linked all the roof racks that will fit your 5-door Yaris hatchback SE. One of the most popular among our customers with your vehicle is the Thule SquareBar Roof Rack made up of # TH712200, # TH480R, and # THKIT1427. Square bars are currently the most...

  • Roof Rack and 2-Kayak Carrier for a 2011 Toyota Yaris Sedan
  • SportRack semi-custom roof rack # SR1002 is listed as a fit for your 2011 Toyota Yaris sedan. For an inexpensive kayak carrier that can support 2 kayaks you can use # MPG115MD. You would just need to add two additional ropes, # SR0704, to secure the second kayak. Be sure to consult the vehicle owners manual and/or Toyota for the roof weight carrying capacity of the vehicle prior to loading.

  • Most Inexpensive 2 Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2012 Toyota Yaris 5-Door Hatchback
  • We have a few options that I think you will be interested in. The most economical bike rack available for your 2012 Toyota Yaris Hatchback model is the Hollywood Racks Express 3 Bike Rack, # HRE3. It uses rubber straps to hold the bikes and the bike cradles are independently adjustable. The rubber straps will last longer than Velcro-like straps and having independently adjustable cradles allows you to move the bikes farther apart if you need more room between the bikes to keep them from...

  • Tow Bar Lighting Recommendation for a 2010 Yaris Hatchback
  • While that is a keen observation, the trailer wiring on your motorhome would already have the signals converted to being combined like the industry standard calls for. For lighting you can use the diode kit, # RM-15267, and not have to worry about cutting into the taillight housing. This will splice into your taillight wiring to allow your tow vehicle to control the taillight assemblies of the towed vehicle. This comes with a round 6-way connector that you will install on the front of...

  • 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. However, if you have the 3-door hatchback, I recommend the Roadmaster EZ Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # 521181-1. For these baseplates to be installed, I recommend using the Loctite Threadlocker # LT37420. For your towbar, I recommend the Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar - Motor Home Mount - 2" Hitch - 6,000...

  • Trunk Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2008 Toyota Yaris with Factory Spoiler
  • Since your 2008 Toyota Yaris has a spoiler I would recommend you go with the Saris Bones EX 2 Bike Rack - Adjustable Arms - Trunk Mount # SAR83FR. This rack is confirmed to fit your vehicle and I believe it would be your best option. I attached a review video for you to check out as well. If you plan on carrying any women's or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes like the bikes in the picture you submitted, you may also be interested in purchasing a Hollywood Racks Bike...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • Will the Rightline Gear Sport Jr. Rooftop Cargo Bag Work On a 2010 Toyota Yaris 2-Door
  • The Rightline Gear Sport Jr. Rooftop Cargo Bag part # RL100S50 won't work on a 2010 Toyota Yaris (2-Door) per Rightline. There is no way to run the straps across the roof. The most cost effective option we have for you to carry extra gear is with a trailer hitch and cargo carrier/bag, the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 24819 with the 17x46 Curt Cargo Carrier part # C18145. The etrailer Cargo Bag part # e98990 could then be used for protection.

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2007 Toyota Yaris with Roadmaster Base Plate
  • Yes, the Roadmaster Base Plate kit part # 521181-1 that you referenced would work well with the Roadmaster Falcon Tow Bar part # RM-520 that you mentioned. For safety cables you can use # RM-643. The coiled design helps keep the cables off of the ground. For lighting you can use the diode kit, # RM-15267, and not have to worry about cutting into the taillight housing. This will splice into your taillight wiring to allow your tow vehicle to control the taillight assemblies of the towed...

  • Recommended Cargo Box and Kayak Carrier for a 2011 Toyota Yaris Hatchback with 48 Long Crossbars
  • I have some options for you but since you only have 48" wide crossbars and you will be using an awning you are pretty limited in what you can use. I recommend the Thule Force XT Sport # TH6356B as it measures 74-3/4" long x 24-3/4" wide x 16-3/4" tall and only requires 48-1/4" of front crossbar to rear hatch clearance (see attached photo). If you use this cargo box with the Thule Stacker # TH830 (which carries the kayak on its side) then you may have enough side-to-side clearance to mount...

  • 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. If you want something functional that will get he job done but isn't a custom fit and will be noisy then you can use the SportRack semi-custom roof rack # SR1002. If you want to be boyfriend of the year though I recommend something a little more awesome. Take a look at the new Rhino-Rack ROC25 series roof rack # RR23FR. This rack has a more OEM appearance with the elliptical bars that are integrated into the feet. This...

  • 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 Racks for a 2009 Toyota Yaris Hatchback
  • 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. As far as the hitch is concerned, most likely, if you look in the owners manual, it might say not to tow a trailer with the vehicle or it could possibly even say not to install a trailer hitch. 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...
