 Performance | |  Weight |
The Landrover Freelander 2.0 di with a Coachman Amara 450/2 with an actual weight of 1330 kg is a match suitable for most journeys, sometimes with some limitations.
The motor preformance of the Landrover is in general just sufficient. And also the weight of the Coachman with a User Payload (135 kg in the caravan and 200 kg in the car including passengers), is not too heavy, if the caravan is well loaded.

Actual Weights
- Coachman Amara 450/2: 1330 kg.
- Landrover Freelander 2.0 di: 1755 kg.
- Noseweight: 75 kg.
- Actual weight ratio: 76%.
Performance
- The engine's performance is generally fairly good on flat roads (performance score to compare 159 points).
- Speeds of 64 mph (104 km/h) to 71 mph (115 km/h) are often quite possible.
- There is only moderate power at low engine speeds (score to compare 108 points).
- Slightly higher revs (2200 rpm) may be necessary under normal conditions on flat roads.
- Acceleration from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) is theoretically possible in 30.5 sec.
- In the mountains the performance is generally sufficient (score to compare 132 points).
- No problems are to be expected on steep mountain roads but the performance is not that great. Hill starts are possible on steep slopes up to 11%, but do require some experience from the driver.
- On motorway inclines the speed drops despite high revs.
- A speed of 51 mph (83 km/h) is usually possible on most motorway inclines.
Weight
- The towing limit of the Landrover 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 76%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 87%.
- 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 75 kg.
- Safe speed up to 62 mph (100 km/h).
- Stability and safety score to compare is 160 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 just 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.
