How to Select a Trailer Hitch
Why a compact hatch like the Yaris usually lands on a Class 1 receiver for bike racks and light utility trailers, then still respects the door-sticker tow limit.
Watch on YouTube →Shopping a trailer hitch for a Toyota Yaris in Canada? Start with hatchback versus the later Yaris iA sedan badge on the door sticker, then open the matching CURT Class 1 card. We stock CURT 11480 for listed 2007 through 2019 Yaris hatchback years with a one and one quarter inch receiver, and CURT 11421 for listed 2016 Scion iA plus 2017 through 2018 Toyota Yaris iA years with a two inch receiver tube. Trailer wiring covers listed 2015 through 2020 Yaris years with CURT 56385. A 2014 year lander is not on this list, and we will not invent a SKU to stretch past the live cards.
All four videos are from the official CURT YouTube channel (@curtmfg). Use them for class selection, install habits, wiring basics, and ball-mount height before you dig into the Yaris cards below.

Watch on YouTube →Torque and hardware habits that keep a unibody Yaris hitch install clean under the rear bumper cover, including concealed-body cards.

Watch on YouTube →Drop versus rise so a light trailer or rack sits level behind a short hatch bumper instead of riding nose-down.
Watch on YouTube →Read hatchback versus iA first. CURT 11480 is the deep in-stock hatchback Class 1 card with a one and one quarter inch receiver tube, two thousand pounds gross trailer weight, and two hundred pounds of tongue weight on the hitch card. CURT 11421 is a different path for Scion iA and Toyota Yaris iA years, and that card uses a two inch receiver tube even though it is still a Class 1 rating. Match the accessory shank to the tube size on the live card, not to a guess from another Yaris year.
| Topic | What we tell shoppers |
|---|---|
| Class 1 reality | These are light-duty Class 1 hitches. Plenty of Yaris owners want a bike rack or a small utility trailer. Do not invent a Class 3 truck hitch for this car. |
| Hatchback path | 11480 is written for Yaris hatchback years on the live fit list. Confirm hatchback body style before you treat it as a sedan card. |
| iA path | 11421 covers Scion iA and Toyota Yaris iA years only. It is not a free pass for every Yaris of those calendar years. |
| Receiver size split | 11480 uses a one and one quarter inch tube. 11421 uses a two inch tube. Pins, locks, covers, and rack shanks must match the tube you bought. |
| Concealed body | 11480 describes a concealed main body for a cleaner OE look. Still plan for fascia and torque steps from the CURT instruction sheet. |
| Wiring window | 56385 lists 2015 through 2020. Earlier hatchback hitch years may still need a different lighting plan if no harness lists that year. |
| 2014 lander | We do not publish a 2014 Yaris hitch year page on this list. Confirm the live product card if your door sticker is 2014. |
| 2020 title note | Store titles may read through 2020 while the hatchback fit list on 11480 stops at 2019. Trust the live fit list, not a stretched title. |
| Door sticker | Hitch class is not the Toyota tow limit. Read the door sticker before you load tongue weight. |
| Corolla path | Corolla stays on its own buyer guide. Do not stretch Yaris cards onto a Corolla. |
Year jumps we publish that overlap the live Yaris hitch cards. Open the lander that matches the model year and body style on your door sticker.

Most Yaris hitch shoppers in Canada want a rack for bikes or a small utility trailer for the cottage run. That is a Class 1 conversation. If you only need a rack, read hitch for bike rack only and still respect the door sticker. For receiver size habits, see hitch receiver size guide.
