Advice with maximum weight
We do not recommend towing a caravan that is heavier than 1500 kg kg with this Mitsubishi.
In this advice we assume an average caravan with a weight of 1250 kg. Remember that the exact performance depends on the chosen caravan and that air resistance and dimensions have an influence.
 Performance | |  Weight |
The Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV [fuel] with a Caravan as an example with an actual weight of 1250 kg is in general a good match and suitable for journeys on most kinds of roads, sometimes with some limitations in the mountains.
The motor preformance of the Mitsubishi is in general sufficient. And also the weight of the Caravan with a User Payload (-50 kg in the caravan and 200 kg in the car including passengers), is very good.

Caravan as an example | |
Actual Weights
- Caravan as an example: 1250 kg.
- Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV [fuel]: 2155 kg.
- Noseweight: 70 kg.
- Actual weight ratio: 58%.
Performance
- The engine's performance is generally fairly good on flat roads (performance score to compare 176 points).
- Speeds of 68 mph (109 km/h) to 74 mph (119 km/h) are often quite possible.
- There is only moderate power at low engine speeds (score to compare 140 points).
- Slightly higher revs (2500 rpm) may be necessary under normal conditions on flat roads.
- Acceleration from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) is theoretically possible in 28.6 sec.
- In the mountains the performance is generally fairly good (score to compare 150 points).
- No problems are to be expected on steep mountain roads but the performance is not that great. Hill starts are possible on steep slopes from 11% to 12%.
- On motorway inclines higher revs (4200 rpm) are needed.
- A speed of 54 mph (87 km/h) is usually possible on most motorway inclines.
Weight
- The towing limit of the Mitsubishi 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 58%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 64%.
- The chance of snaking is small even at higher speeds.
- Recommended noseweight is 70 kg.
- Stability and safety score to compare is 230 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 sufficient.
- Safe driving is possible.
- It's a good match, sometimes with some limitations in the mountains.
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.
