Performance

 

Weight

  • The towing limit of the Rover is more than sufficient (check this in your vehicle documents).
  • The car is too heavily loaded.
  • Weight ratio between the laden caravan and the loaded car is 58%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 64%.
  • The chance of snaking is small even at higher speeds.
  • Recommended noseweight is 70 kg.
  • Stability and safety score to compare is 233 points.

If the caravan starts to snake you should reduce your speed and slow down directly! Lift your feet off the accelerator and brake gradually. Hold the steering wheel into a fixed position.

Conclusion

  • Performance is very good.
  • Safe driving is possible.
  • It's a perfect match!

 

Influence of User Payload on stability

Weight distribution and noseweight are vital in obtaining a stable caravan.

Distribute the User Payload by yourself in the caravan and the car and then find out the stability rating of your loading configuration.

User Reviews

B. Wright reviewed a Rover 75 Tourer 4.6 V8 aut.:

"The Rover 75 V8 has proved to be a fantastic towcar. The high torque is a match for most likely trailed loads and with a noseweight of 100Kgs safe and stable caravan loading is easily possible. The rear wheel drive arrangement of the V8 is a big bonus in terms of traction on hills etc. This is further enhanced by the traction control feature which gives a degree of slip control. All in all a hard to beat combination"
