Weight

The Toyota Avensis Wagon 2.0 D4-D with a Bailey Ranger GT60 520/4 with an actual weight of 1321 kg is in general a good match and suitable for all journeys on all kinds of roads.

The motor preformance of the Toyota is in general fairly good. And also the weight of the Bailey with a normally distributed User Payload (200 kg in the caravan and 200 kg in the car including passengers), is pretty good.

Actual Weights

Performance

 

Weight

  • The towing limit of the Toyota 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 73%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 83%.
  • 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 168 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

Pete Richardson reviewed a Toyota Avensis Wagon 2.0 D4-D:

"Really surprised by this outfit, less power than my old car on paper, but in reality it tows really well - but be prepared to work the gears to make good progress. Third is needed for 60 mph on steeper slopes.
Pulling off from a standstill is quite slow due to the long gearing - but tolerable. Having said that, I managed to climb a 15% gradient from a standing start and soon reached 30 mph in second gear.
I'd like to know how previous reviewer (Mike) got 35 mpg with the same outfit as mine, I was looking at closer to 25 mpg! It was quite a hilly route though, and I really hammered it."
