Using a cartop carrier - Toyota Yaris Forums

scylla · 03-08-2018, 04:02 AM

There are cartop racks for a yaris, but are pretty damn pricey. Myself, I just went with a trailer hitch. My 2015 has the holes already built in for a hitch from the factory.

Took me 20 min. to install and I have found it to be much more versatile than a roof rack, plus it doesn't touch your paint and cause scratches. So far I have both a hitch mounted cargo carrier and a hitch mounted bike carrier. Both work like a dream.

I saw a hitch install video where the guy actually towed a trailer and 2 dirt bikes with his Yaris.
