Echo 2005 Sedan Max Weight With Load

[Echo1337]

hey guys, i recently bought a toyota echo 2005 sedan, what a nice little machine! but looking at the guide manual, it says that the max weight capacity with load is of 617lbs. The manuak that came with the car was for the hatchback version tho, so i was wondering if it's the same for the sedan version or the sedan can take more or less the same weight? thanks!!

Hi and welcome to our forum.

You might struggle to get an answer to your question here, as this is mainly a UK forum and the sedan has never been sold in the UK, so I suspect there won't be many people on this forum who have any knowledge of the sedan to be able to help.

The sedan is manufacturered in the US for US & Canada sale only. European Yarii are built in France and they only make hatchbacks over here.

There are other US based Toyota forums that might be able to help better....
