Performance
Weight

The Ssangyong Musso 2.9 TD aut. with a Lunar Lexon EW with an actual weight of 1520 kg is a match suitable for most journeys, sometimes with some limitations.

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

Weight

  • The towing limit of the Ssangyong 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 (or B96) driving license.
  • Weight ratio between the laden caravan and the loaded car is 69%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 76%.
  • There is a small chance of snaking at higher speeds, strong side winds and thoughtless driving. Even if the combination normally feels stable, the forces by deflection side to side are great at high speed. For drivers with knowledge of, and experience in driving a caravan it is safe to drive, but proper and careful loading is still important! An electronic stability system in the car and / or on the caravan is worth considering.
  • Recommended noseweight is 85 kg.
  • Safe speed up to 62 mph (100 km/h).
  • Stability and safety score to compare is 180 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 sufficient.
  • If the caravan is well loaded safe driving is possible.
  • It's a good match, sometimes with some limitations.

 

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

Stuart Tingay reviewed a Ssangyong Musso 2.9 TD aut.:

"I had a Musso 2.9 towed ok but a bit underpowered for hills, I now have a 2.9TD Daewoo model, this pulls the caravan no problem and up hills. I get about 26mpg when towing and 38mpg!! normal driving. Got all the bells and whistles as standard. Well pleased with the car, recommend to anyone."
