Performance
The engine's performance is generally good on flat roads (performance score to compare 242 points).
Speeds of 79 mph (128 km/h) to 84 mph (136 km/h) are often quite possible.
There is a lot of power at low engine speeds (score to compare 272 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 21.3 sec.
In the mountains the performance is generally very good (score to compare 259 points).
No problems are to be expected on steep mountain roads. Hill starts are possible on steep slopes up to 17%.
On motorway inclines higher revs (2700 rpm) are needed.
A speed of 65 mph (105 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).
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 58%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 62%.
The chance of snaking is small even at higher speeds.
Recommended noseweight is 85 kg.
Stability and safety score to compare is 223 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 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.
