I'd like to see a picture if you do it. lol :D

You probably could if it's not too tall. Are you planning on closing the door or leaving it open and just tying it down? I've hauled some pretty big things before, you can fit more than you think. Your tree might be touching the dash though.lol

YAR1S · 12-06-2008, 03:22 AM

I plan to fold down the rear seats, put the trunk, as close to the arm rest as I can without getting sap everywhere, then hopefully tying the hatch down...... anyone know the approximate length of the trunk when the seats are folded down?

I only get the small trees ... lol.

When you get the tree make sure you post your pictures here http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/showthread.php?t=11508

rg570lvr · 12-06-2008, 03:57 AM

I just ran out and measured and you have about 50" to work with, with the hatch closed.

newbies?? LOL. too bad the old thread's pics are gone.... besides, this tree is IN the yaris, not ON the yaris, totally differnt :p

These pics deserve a new thread.

Just folded the seats down and moved the passengers seat forward. Was able to close hatch successfully. It is possible to bring a tree home and (maybe a passenger if you only fold down the 60 part of the 40/60 split seat.

I brought home a 7 ft. douglas fir last week in my liftback. I didn't think to take pictures. I had the same setup as you, except mine went in trunk first. Also, my tree was not wrapped, so when I took it out, it made a major mess. Took a bit of vacuum action to get the Yaris lookin' spiffy again.

Black Yaris · 12-06-2008, 05:39 PM

I had a tree in the back of my Yaris over the summer, before it got all smashed up

YAR1S · 12-06-2008, 05:49 PM

yeah the needles made a mesh, but now my yaris smells like christmas!! :-D

you're welcome, and I hadn't even thought about going crossways like you did, glad you got it.

For all of you getting trees this year, please remember to recycle them. If you aren't sure how to please contact the folks that pick up your trash, your City Manager's office or an equivalent local government office. Also check your local CraigsList as individuals may be offering to come pick them up.

Pine and Fir trees can be turned into paper, dowels, toothpicks, popsicle sticks, tongue depressors, mulch, firewood, anti-erosion roll filler, etc. They do a whole lot more good that way than as a landfill filler.

YAR1S · 12-06-2008, 11:28 PM

They are also a great breeding ground for baby fry.
Our city takes them to local lakes to keep the fish populations up!

:D
