Weight

The Ford Mondeo 2.0 16v aut. with a Bailey Ranger 460/4 with an actual weight of 1194 kg is in general a good match and suitable for all journeys on all kinds of roads.

The motor preformance of the Ford is in general more than sufficient. And also the weight of the Bailey with a normally distributed User Payload (200 kg in the caravan and 200 kg in the car including passengers), is very good.

Performance

 

Weight

  • The towing limit of the Ford is more than sufficient (check this in your vehicle documents).
  • If you passed your driving test after 1 January 1997, a B driving license is enough.
  • Weight ratio between the laden caravan and the loaded car is 70%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 80%.
  • The chance of snaking is relatively small at normal speed, if the caravan is well loaded.
  • Recommended noseweight is 70 kg.
  • Safe speed up to 62 mph (100 km/h).
  • Stability and safety score to compare is 185 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 more than sufficient.
  • 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

Mr C Medhurst reviewed a Ford Mondeo 2.0 16v aut.:

"My caravan is an Avondale Avocet which I tow with a 2002 2.0 Ltr Mondeo petrol Auto. Apparently according to the info I have found on the net this caravan is to heavy for the car, but in the two years I have had this caravan I have found the Mondeo to be an excellent tow car. It has not put a foot wrong and pulls the caravan with ease, this may be due to us probably due to only taking what we need and never overloading the car or the caravan. I am only now considering selling the car due to requiring a bigger caravan."
