If you have trouble cutting the wire while stripping insulation you are using a
notch size too small, cheap stripper or a knife. The trick is to start with a
bigger wire size and if that doesn't work go one size smaller. Let the stripper
do the work. Wire gauge is opposite of size i.e. 22 gauge is smaller than 18
gauge.

I bought a trailer light harness for the Toyota. When I looked at the
gauge of the taillight wiring and the tight location I decided I might
do it some other day if I really wanted to hook up the trailer.

That model is rated for towing in the US so a Y connector wasn't
available. Oddly in the Canadian manual it is rated for 500 lb max.

You should go to the U Haul guy. He will put a hitch on a non-existent bumper
and crimp some thingamajigs to any wires available, stereo, lane detection,
backup lights, what ever they find and you are good to go 8-(


That would be scary.

Not my video, but my Yaris was the same year, model, and color. I traded
it in last year and never did use the hitch. I've got a little flatbed
trailer but didn't need to haul anything.

I was going to accessorize it:

The red ones, of course.

I was behind a truck with them; with my wife. She snaps her head and says look
at that and laughs. Remember the guy that got stopped for having a sticker that
read eat beaver or something similar?
