Weight

The Landrover Freelander 2.2 TD4 with a Airstream 534 with an actual weight of 1678 kg is in general a good match and suitable for all journeys on all kinds of roads.

The motor preformance of the Landrover is in general fairly good. But the weight of the Airstream with a normally distributed User Payload (200 kg in the caravan and 200 kg in the car including passengers), is quite heavy, but no problem if the caravan is well loaded and the driving speed is not too fast.

Actual Weights

Performance

 

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 (or B96) driving license.
  • Weight ratio between the laden caravan and the loaded car is 81%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 89%.
  • 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 90 kg.
  • Safe speed up to 56 mph (90 km/h).
  • Stability and safety score to compare is 142 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.
  • If the caravan is well loaded 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

COLIN HIRD reviewed a Landrover Freelander 2.2 TD4:

"I was until recently the owner of a Freelander 2 TD4e 2010 model.It was bought for the image, quality, towing capabilities and assumed longetivity. After 2 1/2 years of ownership i can quite honestly say that it was the most unpredictable and unreliable car i have ever owned. On the positive side it could go anywhere, was comfortable and practical. The brand image couldn't hide its failings however. With less than 50000 miles on the clock the clutch began to slip which within no time required said clutch and flywheel replaced at some cost. The 4wd Haldex system played up at some cost(known issue), the throttle bearing housing showed signs of wear, the dreaded transmission fault warning periodically etc etc etc. Maybe i was just unlucky but having spoken to other owners they too have had similar issues. Fuel economy was rubbish and it liked tyres for breakfast. You have been warned! Great towcar but nothing else to recommend. From what i have learned about anythong with the name Rover in it i personally would not entertain one. I now have a Ford Kuga which is superior in all aspects un less of course you are a badge snob."
