Hmmm well you can certainly put a box hitch on a Yaris that will take those things. A Grom is 225 lbs, maybe a little heavy for a Yaris? A Ruck must be less.

Personally it wouldnt stop me fron researching it and scratching my head over it and trying it out if all my genius brainstroming told me I could!

Thanks! (When this thread started, I looked up the GROM and the RUCKUS (on the Honda site +++) in order to discover the weight of each and, IIRC, the RUCKUS weight = 185 lbs)
