    GR Yaris GR Yaris equipped with towbar / hitch

    Hey there, thanks (y) Probably a hitch on the girlfriends car, since I don’t want to mess around with the GRY any more. I’m not a big fan of the suction cup solution, at least not for heavy E-MTB‘s. My bike is a little over 22kg and I wouldn’t trust the carbon roof with that kind of load...

    Hey, update on the towbar: After using it to carry a single e-bike multiple times without any problems, I tried to carry two bikes and unfortunately it didn’t go well. When I mounted them on the rack (combined weight of the bikes and rack around 59kg approximately, so right on the limit of...

    Hey, sure, the company is called „Die Verkuppler“, based near Stuttgart, Germany. I’m not sure if they sell just the parts, since the kit is apparently not plug and play, but they’re really kind and I’m sure they more then happily answer that question. Yep, its detachable 👍🏻

    Thanks :) I’d say that I can notice the higher sidewall in terms of damping, it’s a little more compliant. I daily my GRY so I’m pretty happy about that. Maybe it affects steering precision, but I can’t notice that. Since there aren’t that much tires available in 255/40/17 I chose the...

    Hey, I didn’t try to get them approved yet, but I hope it shouldn’t be a problem, since they got an „Festigkeitsgutachten“. Worked for my 9,5x18 ProTracks so I’m optimistic :)

    Hey, Just got my new summer wheels for this year, Autec Clubracing Evo 9x17 +45 wrapped in 255/40‘s. Not a lot of space between the weights and the caliper but everywhere else its fine.

    Hey, Since I couldn't find any other reports of a towbar equipped GR Yaris, maybe thats of interest to some of you 👋 I got a towbar mounted to my GRY, since I wanted an easier way to transport my e-bike. Its rated for 60kg of vertical load, so two bikes are possible. It's not rated for any...

    The towbar got an "e-number" (is it called like that in english?), with matching numbers on the part and the instruction-paperwork. According to the shop, which installed it, thats sufficient. If I understood them correctly, the bar itself is a generic part made by Brink but the mounting to the...

    Hey there, as threatened in my introduction, heres my GR Yaris 😄 It's one of the earlier cars, first registered in November of 2020. I bought it in early 2023 from its first owner with merely 3000km on the clock. After some rust and paint protection measures, the modifications began... I kept...

    Hello from southern Germany

    Hey there GR-Zoo 👋 after driving my GR Yaris for roughly 40.000km over the past two years, I finally decided to create a GR-Zoo account. I did read a few threads here and there, but now its time to post some myself, I guess :) I'm living in south-western Germany and the Yaris is my...
