 Performance | |  Weight |
The Landrover Freelander Td4 aut. with a Sprite Major 5 with an actual weight of 1300 kg is a match suitable for most journeys, sometimes with some limitations.
The motor preformance of the Landrover is in general more than sufficient. And also the weight of the Sprite with a normally distributed User Payload (200 kg in the caravan and 200 kg in the car including passengers), is very good.

Actual Weights
- Sprite Major 5: 1300 kg.
- Landrover Freelander Td4 aut.: 1893 kg.
- Noseweight: 75 kg.
- Actual weight ratio: 69%.
Performance
- The engine's performance is generally fairly good on flat roads (performance score to compare 165 points).
- Speeds of 66 mph (106 km/h) to 73 mph (117 km/h) are often quite possible.
- There is sufficient power at low engine speeds (score to compare 175 points).
- Slightly higher revs (1800 rpm) may be necessary under normal conditions on flat roads.
- Acceleration from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) is theoretically possible in 30.1 sec.
- In the mountains the performance is generally fairly good (score to compare 156 points).
- No problems are to be expected on steep mountain roads. Hill starts are possible on steep slopes up to 16%.
- On motorway inclines the speed drops despite high revs.
- A speed of 52 mph (84 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, a B driving license is enough.
- Weight ratio between the laden caravan and the loaded car is 69%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 78%.
- The chance of snaking is relatively small at normal speed, if the caravan is well loaded.
- Recommended noseweight is 75 kg.
- Safe speed up to 62 mph (100 km/h).
- Stability and safety score to compare is 186 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 more than sufficient.
- 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.
