 Performance | |  Weight |
The Ssangyong Korando 2.9 TD with a Jurgens Palma with an actual weight of 1390 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 Ssangyong is in general more than sufficient. And also the weight of the Jurgens with a User Payload (160 kg in the caravan and 200 kg in the car including passengers), is very good.

Actual Weights
- Jurgens Palma: 1390 kg.
- Ssangyong Korando 2.9 TD: 2105 kg.
- Noseweight: 75 kg.
- Actual weight ratio: 66%.
Performance
- The engine's performance is generally fairly good on flat roads (performance score to compare 185 points).
- Speeds of 69 mph (112 km/h) to 76 mph (122 km/h) are often quite possible.
- There is only moderate power at low engine speeds (score to compare 128 points).
- Slightly higher revs (2100 rpm) may be necessary under normal conditions on flat roads.
- Acceleration from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) is theoretically possible in 27.9 sec.
- In the mountains the performance is generally fairly good (score to compare 162 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 55 mph (89 km/h) is usually possible on most motorway inclines.
Weight
- The towing limit of the Ssangyong 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 66%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 73%.
- The chance of snaking is relatively small at normal speed, if the caravan is well loaded.
- Recommended noseweight is 75 kg.
- Safe speed up to 62 mph (100 km/h).
- Stability and safety score to compare is 192 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.
