How to turn a Yaris into a Tacoma

[CTScott]

And, here's another advantage of using the Yaris in place of the Tacoma: FREE dump runs.

I pulled out a set of built-in bookshelves recently and needed to dispose of them. I decided to load them into the back of the Yaris, rather than using the carrier, as it was a lot of pieces of wood. We get charged by volume to dispose of items other than recyclables or household trash at our recycling center, and normally a run like this would run somewhere between $25 and $40 depending on which dump dude looked at the truck and estimated the volume. With my short bed Tacoma, this would have looked like a lot of material, so chances are that I would have gotten dinged the $40.

With the Yaris, I tell the dump dude that I have a book shelf in the back to dispose of and he looks at the car and says "In the back of that little thing?". I say yes and he says "It can't be very big to fit in there. No charge". Little did he realize that this is what was back there:
