Weight

The Landrover Freelander 2.2 TD4 aut. with a Hobby Prestige 650 KFU with an actual weight of 1790 kg is in general a good match and suitable for all journeys on all kinds of roads.

The motor preformance of the Landrover is in general fairly good. But the weight of the Hobby with a normally distributed User Payload (200 kg in the caravan and 200 kg in the car including passengers), is quite heavy. Proper and careful loading is essential and don't drive too fast. Remember to load your caravan correctly, insuring that the noseweight of the caravan is sufficient and the weight is distributed properly!

Weight

  • The towing limit of the Landrover is more than sufficient (check this in your vehicle documents).
  • If you passed your driving test after 1 January 1997, you will need a B+E driving license.
  • Weight ratio between the laden caravan and the loaded car is 86%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 95%.
  • The risk of snaking at higher speeds, strong side winds and thoughtless driving exist. Even if the combination normally feels stable, the forces by deflection side to side are so great that it could be dangerous. Only if the driver has knowledge of and experience in driving a caravan it should be safe to drive. Proper and careful loading is essential! An electronic stability system in the car and / or on the caravan is recommended.
  • Recommended noseweight is 95 kg.
  • Safe speed up to 56 mph (90 km/h).
  • Stability and safety score to compare is 118 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 fairly good.
  • Proper and careful loading is still important!
  • 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

Brian.Roberts reviewed a Landrover Freelander 2.2 TD4 aut.:

"I have a 2009 2.2 Freelander and I towed my Avondale Argente 650 twin axle from Le\'harve to marocco a round trip of 4,500 miles and the car was excellent it pulls like a train which was a surprise from a 2.2 most of the time I was doing well over the leagal speeds but if you sat at 60mph it was very stable even in high winds mpg was 25 which at the speed I was traveling was great. I carnt give this enough praise it coped with the heat of Africa and the snow across the Andorra mountains "
