Yaris Towing 1000 lbs?

My old Rav4 had nearly the same tow rating as the Yaris and I never had any issues at all.

Thanks for the advise. I think I'm going to get a Harbor Freight foldable 4'x8' trailer instead, since the kart will fit (width wise). And it'll take up whole lot less space when folded and it's lighter. My Yaris is an automatic. I do occasional HPDE with it when my other car is out of commission, so I do drive it hard. So I'll eventually change the AT fluid after a few tow and check on the condition of the fluid.
