Acceleration from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) is theoretically possible in 14.1 sec.
In the mountains the performance is generally very good (score to compare 349 points).
No problems are to be expected on steep mountain roads (up to 25%). Not even on Hill starts.
On motorway inclines hardly any higher revs are needed.
A speed of 78 mph (125 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).

It's a perfect match!
Influence of User Payload on stability
Weight distribution and noseweight are vital in obtaining a stable caravan.
