Ooh! You could put your Yaris in the race trailer with its own tire trailer!
Sounds like you've got the trailer well in hand. Most of the threads I've read about them are full of "oops" and "aw crap". |

All Toyotas are rated under their true tow rating, it's to protect the newbie towers from themselves! My '01 Tundra is rated at 7,200 pounds of total trailer and gear, well I've towed closer to 9,000 maybe even 10,000 with it and no issues. I towed my 20' enclosed trailer with our Rav4 on board, then turned right around and towed a house full of furniture and boxes back, a round trip of close to 400 miles. Yaris should work just fine with a proper hitch installed!

Had to pick up two loads of sand-stone mix today. Not too far from home but I'm betting it weighed in around 1500lbs.
Here's the picture as proof LOL PS: home built trailer and hitch |

You don't have to buy a car just to tow.
Borrow a friends/family members SUV or truck. I've done that countless times. Rent an vehicle whenever you need to tow something, just don't tell the rental agency that. |
