Recommendation of a Base Plate Kit and Tow Bar for Towing a Toyota Yaris

Question:

Do you have a Tow-bar that will allow me to tow a Toyota Yaris 3 door hatchback?

asked by: Tony C


Expert Reply:

If your Toyota Yaris is a 2007, 2008 or 2009 model then you can use the Roadmaster EZ Base Plate Kit, item # 521181-5. If your Yaris is a 2006 model the Roadmaster EZ Base Plate Kit, item # 521181-1, will work for your vehicle.

Along with a base plate kit you will need a Towbar, and with the RoadMaster EZ base plate kits you can use any of the RoadMaster tow bars. The RoadMaster Tracker Tow Bar - 5,000 lbs, item # RM-020, is recommended if you will be towing infrequently and if you will be towing often I would recommend the RoadMaster StowMaster All Terrain Car-Mounted Tow Bar - 6,000 lbs, item # RM-502, which will make hook-up and removal of the tow bar quick and easy.

You will also need tow bar wiring and wiring for your vehicle. You can use Magnetic Towing Light Kit, 20 ft. Long Cord, item # C-ATL20A, if you will not be towing often and if you want to wire the vehicle so that the taillights work on the vehicle you can use the Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit, item # RM-154 to wire the vehicle and protect its wiring.

Finally, you will need safety chains to attach the towed vehicle to the towing vehicle. You can use the RoadMaster 64 inch Single Hook, Straight Safety Cables - 6,000 lbs, item # RM-645, or the RoadMaster 68 inch Single Hook, Coiled Safety Cables - 6,000 lbs, item # RM643, if the tow bar does not have safety cable guides.
