Landrover Range Rover 2.0 P400e Caravan as an example
Advice with maximum weight
We do not recommend towing a caravan that is heavier than 2050 kg kg with this Landrover.
In this advice we assume an average caravan with a weight of 2050 kg. Remember that the exact performance depends on the chosen caravan and that air resistance and dimensions have an influence.
Performance
Weight
The Landrover Range Rover 2.0 P400e with a Caravan as an example with an actual weight of 2050 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 very good. And also the weight of the Caravan with a normally distributed User Payload (200 kg in the caravan and 200 kg in the car including passengers), is pretty good.

Attention
The Landrover is a hybrid car. The calculated performance depends on the amount of power available in the battery. The advice and performance are based on average use where there is still a small amount of power in the battery.
Also make a calculation of the Landrover on the fuel engine only in case the battery is empty.

Landrover Range Rover 2.0 P400e Caravan as an example
Actual Weights
Caravan as an example: 2050 kg.
Landrover Range Rover 2.0 P400e: 2809 kg.
Noseweight: 125 kg.
Actual weight ratio: 73%.
Performance
The engine's performance is generally very good on flat roads (performance score to compare 279 points).
Speeds of 82 mph (133 km/h) to 94 mph (151 km/h) are often quite possible.
There is a lot of power at low engine speeds (score to compare 367 points).
Higher revs (1800 rpm) are usually not necessary on flat roads, under most circumstances.
Acceleration from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) is theoretically possible in 11.6 sec.
In the mountains the performance is generally very good (score to compare 301 points).
No problems are to be expected on steep mountain roads. Hill starts are possible on steep slopes up to 21%.
On motorway inclines higher revs (2800 rpm) are needed.
A speed of 69 mph (111 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 73%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 79%.
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 105 - 125 kg.
Towball limit is 100 kg (Check this on the type plate of your towbar!)
Safe speed up to 62 mph (100 km/h).
Stability and safety score to compare is 169 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 very 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.
