What? No it doesn't. You remove two of the bolts that the bumper attaches to and replace it with beefier longer bolts. Reference my install thread:

And seriously, if you don't have a trailer hitch installed on your Yaris, then stop posting all your legal, read the manual it says not to, go get a truck baloney. I tow a 4' X 4' trailer every weekend loaded up with my trash. It equals the weight of two adults in my back seat. I can't even tell its back there -- even when I had a Christmas tree on it, 2 heavy trash bags, all my recycling, and bins.

The car tows fine, just like any other small passenger car in America. There is no reason why anyone can't tow with a Yaris -- just because the manual says you can't isn't a valid reason. My mommy and daddy say I shouldn't drink beer, either.

As far as towing 1,100 lbs? Come on, don't be dumb. That's why people start posting all this legal crap. In my own REAL LIFE EXPERIENCES towing with this vehicle, I wouldn't feel comfortable towing more than 500 lbs. total weight. That's just me though.
