 Performance | |  Weight |
The Toyota Previa 2.0 D4-D with a Lunar Lexon 575 EB with an actual weight of 1410 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 Toyota is in general more than sufficient. And also the weight of the Lunar with a normally distributed User Payload (200 kg in the caravan and 200 kg in the car including passengers), is very good.

Actual Weights
- Lunar Lexon 575 EB: 1410 kg.
- Toyota Previa 2.0 D4-D: 2075 kg.
- Noseweight: 80 kg.
- Actual weight ratio: 68%.
Performance
- The engine's performance is generally fairly good on flat roads (performance score to compare 195 points).
- Speeds of 71 mph (115 km/h) to 78 mph (125 km/h) are often quite possible.
- There is sufficient power at low engine speeds (score to compare 181 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 27 sec.
- In the mountains the performance is generally fairly good (score to compare 176 points).
- No problems are to be expected on steep mountain roads. Hill starts are possible on steep slopes up to 12%, but do require some experience from the driver.
- On motorway inclines the speed drops despite high revs.
- A speed of 57 mph (92 km/h) is usually possible on most motorway inclines.
Weight
- The towing limit of the Toyota is 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 68%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 75%.
- The chance of snaking is relatively small at normal speed, if the caravan is well loaded.
- Recommended noseweight is 70 - 80 kg.
- Towball limit is 65 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 188 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 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.
