Actual Weights

Performance

 

Weight

  • The towing limit of the Toyota 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 65%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 71%.
  • The chance of snaking is relatively small at normal speed, if the caravan is well loaded.
  • Recommended noseweight is 85 kg.
  • Safe speed up to 62 mph (100 km/h).
  • Stability and safety score to compare is 195 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.
  • 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

Phil Mitchell reviewed a Toyota LandCruiser 3.0 D4-D aut.:

"Great combination. plenty of power with the smooth 5spd auto box most relaxed to drive tow car I have owned.only downside is economy very low 20's towing and not too much better solo. that being said it returns the same in the uk and europe regardless of terrain. All in all a good tow vehicle with 100% reliability.
