When your car is small, you get inventive - Toyota Yaris Forums

One Yaris LB, three occupants, luggage, and a toboggan.

No roof rack, so tried out the bike rack. Worked extremely well. Logged 5 hrs of travel at speeds up to 130 kph.

(and yes, I KNOW the car is dirty

)

Your car is dirty, by the way ;)

That could totally work for Snowboards too. But, I don't think there are any mountains in Ontario :D

Nice idea. I've been thinking of having hitches installed on all my cars too; not for towing but for carrying stuff that is too bulky.

^ less stable.

This way, the rack arms provide support and rigidity to 80% of the toboggan's body. Sideways, only 20% is stabilized.
