Can you put a towbar on a Toyota Yaris?

When considering the type of towbar, a swan neck towbar can look tidier on the vehicle and is less likely to set off reverse parking sensors. However, it’s important to note that this can depend on the bumper shape and location of the parking sensors. If the vehicle has parking sensors, the detachable swan neck towbar is recommended.
It’s also important to consider the towing capacity of the vehicle, which can be determined by the engine, gearbox, or chassis types.
