I did tow a Mazda Pickup Bed Trailer full of old carpet and it was a little sluggish but weighed over 1200lbs.
I also ordered the Accessory receiver for a bike rack and put lights on the rack because the bike tires hide my taillights. If the dealer wants to know why I have the tow hitch or lights installed, THATS WHY!!
That looks like the same one I have!

Thanks to the wonderful economy I have had to sell my Scotty camper, and am moving in with my g/f.
I bought a tiny Harbor Freight trailer and have been using it to help get all my stuff either over there or into storage.
So I present more pictures of an xB towing stuff. These are just from today.

(The last one was because I the trailer was already attached and the strap was out and I was too lazy to open the rear hatch)

you drive an all stock box? also, do you use the hitch that is invisible w/ vertical receiver opening?
It has some mods, suspension wise I have Swift Sport Mach springs, a Progress rear sway bar and Monroe rear shocks. I had swapped the stock rear springs in so the back wouldn't sag when loaded.
And yes, I have the invisihitch with the vertical receiver. If you go back in this thread you can see pics of it installed.

o ok, i saw that I-90 post you put. There will be some hilly terrain for myself and I was concerned about that. Luckily though, I have some engine mods, so I think I should be fine. However, I am all stock on the suspension---may need to fix that. Nice pics of install...Seems as though the hitch is compatible with aftermarket exhausts too based on where it runs along the inside of the bumper.
Didn't really do this. Just backed up real close to the trailer and took the pics. My brother with a 1 ton truck helped me get the sod and then dropped it off in front of my house.
The pallet of sod probably weighs more that the xB (and so does the trailer). While it was parked like this at least 10 yard crew trucks drove by and took pics and laughed.

The trailer was at the correct height and if I had had a hitch it would have hooked right up. Sorry I posted the picture. Looks like it brought out a SL post basher.

Two sets of snow tires strapped to the wee trailer.
I found someone on Craigslist who's xB had just been totaled and needed to get rid of his extra stuff. I got two sets of good snow tires on rims (one set is going on my g/f's Saturn),
a full set of floor mats (including the cargo mat), an factory accessory center armrest and a rear cargo cover, all for $330. Anyone interested in the armrest PM me an offer, it has a crack in it but works fine.

Hi, I am trying to attach a small trailer. Please let me know how to connect the back (black color ) bar made by Toyota/Scion to a trailer like this one in the picture in attach? What is the name of that part/adapter? Thank you.
This is a standard "classic" end connection. How to connect to the hitch Scion bar recommended by the car manufacturer? Here is how is look when the hitch original Scion bar is installed. This was in the car on the back storage compartment. I got this car under impression that is made to perfection. Just for people with few options.

@mrrcom Hi, yes Class I and Class II. I just do a research on google. Looks like needed to be install by removing the muffler. My question is, out there is not available an adaptor bolt to attach to the eye bolt and magically to help attach a small trailer? Thank you
