What Trailer Hitch Is Available For A 2008 Toyota Yaris Hatchback  

Question:

Have a hitch for a Yaris 2008 Hatch back?

Expert Reply:

I have three hitches available for a 2008 Toyota Yaris Hatchback. They are all Class I 1-1/4 inch hitches and are rated at 2000 lbs. towing weight capacity with 200 lbs. tongue weight capacity.

The Curt Class I 1-1/4 Inch Hitch # C11480 will fit and it includes the ball mount and pin and clip. If this hitch is used for non-trailer loads like a bike rack or cargo carrier, it will require a stabilizing strap # 18050. It gives added support and stability to the bike rack or cargo carrier and keeps the movement of the hitch accessory to a minimum, which puts less stress on the hitch.

The Draw-Tite Class I 1-1/4 Inch Hitch part number is # 24819. If you are going to tow with your vehicle, you will need to have a ball mount. If you are going to use the hitch for a bike rack or cargo carrier, you will not need the ball mount. The Draw-Tite will not require the use of a stabilizing strap for non-trailer loads.

For towing, you will also need a hitch ball like the Tow Ready 2 Inch Hitch Ball # 19258 and the Draw-Tite Wiring Harness # 119178KIT for trailer lights.

I am sending links to the instructions on the hitches and a video link of the wiring harness being installed on a 2007 Saturn Ion. The vehicle is different but the wiring principle is the same.
