Performance
The engine's performance is generally good on flat roads (performance score to compare 223 points).
Speeds of 76 mph (122 km/h) to 81 mph (131 km/h) are often quite possible.
There is a lot of power at low engine speeds (score to compare 262 points).
Higher revs (1600 rpm) are usually not necessary on flat roads, under most circumstances.
Acceleration from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) is theoretically possible in 22.8 sec.
In the mountains the performance is generally good (score to compare 228 points).
No problems are to be expected on steep mountain roads. Hill starts are possible on steep slopes up to 15%.
On motorway inclines higher revs (2800 rpm) are needed.
A speed of 62 mph (100 km/h) is usually possible on most motorway inclines.
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 62%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 68%.
The chance of snaking is small even at higher speeds.
Recommended noseweight is 80 kg.
Stability and safety score to compare is 207 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.
