 Performance | |  Weight |
The Landrover Range Rover Sport Td V6 with a Boottrailer 3500 kg with an actual weight of 3450 kg is not a recommended match to drive.
The motor preformance of the Landrover is in general more than sufficient. But the weight of the Boottrailer 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!

Performance
- The engine's performance is generally good on flat roads (performance score to compare 205 points).
- Speeds of 74 mph (119 km/h) to 79 mph (128 km/h) are often quite possible.
- There is more than enough power at low engine speeds (score to compare 200 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 189 points).
- No problems are to be expected on steep mountain roads. Hill starts are possible on steep slopes up to 14%.
- On motorway inclines the speed drops despite high revs.
- A speed of 58 mph (93 km/h) is usually possible on most motorway inclines.
Weight
- The towing limit of the Landrover is 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 125%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 135%.
- 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 1 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.
- 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.
