The trailer hitch options for a 2016 Scion iM like the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 24952 max out at 2,000 lbs gross trailer weight and 200 lbs tongue weight. If the hitch mounted carrier you want to use exceeds the above tongue weight capacity you will need to transport said item on a trailer using the following:
Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector part # C56309
Draw-Tite Drawbar part # 3593
Hitch Ball part # 19256 or part # 19258
Please note, 1-1/4" to 2" hitch adapters reduce weight capacity by 50%.
