The towing limit is unknown to us. Please check the towing limit!

The Ford Transit (power) 2.4 Duratorq TDCi with a Fendt Brillant 700 TFD with an actual weight of 2260 kg is not a recommended match to drive.

The motor preformance of the Ford is in general fairly good. But the weight of the Fendt with a normally distributed User Payload (200 kg in the caravan and 200 kg in the car including passengers), is too heavy for long distances. Remember to load your caravan correctly, insuring that the noseweight of the caravan is sufficient and the weight is distributed properly. But even so, a starting caravan driver is better off choosing a smaller and less heavy caravan!

Actual Weights

Performance

 

Weight

  • The towing limit of the Ford is sufficient (check this in your vehicle documents).
  • The car is too heavily loaded.
  • Weight ratio between the laden caravan and the loaded car is 108%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 119%.
  • The risk of snaking at higher speeds, strong side winds and thoughtless driving is great. It is not recommended to drive with this outfit for long distances!
  • Recommended noseweight is 125 kg.
  • Safe speed up to 50 mph (80 km/h).
  • Stability and safety score to compare is 33 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.
  • Proper and careful loading is essential!
  • It's not a recomanded match. Only if you are an experienced (caravan) driver it is posible to drive carfully.

 

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.
