Weight

The Suzuki Jimny 1.3 16v with a Lunar Ariva with an actual weight of 1057 kg is a match suitable for most journeys, sometimes with some limitations.

The motor preformance of the Suzuki is in general moderate but for your use maybe 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 pretty good.

Actual Weights

Performance

 

Weight

  • The towing limit of the Suzuki is more than sufficient (check this in your vehicle documents).
  • If you passed your driving test after 1 January 1997, a B driving license is enough.
  • The caravan is too heavily loaded.
  • Weight ratio between the laden caravan and the loaded car is 79%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 93%.
  • The chance of snaking is relatively small at normal speed, if the caravan is well loaded.
  • Recommended noseweight is 65 kg.
  • Safe speed up to 62 mph (100 km/h).
  • Stability and safety score to compare is 164 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 moderate but for your use maybe sufficient.
  • Safe driving is possible.
  • It's a good match, sometimes with some limitations.

 

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.

User Reviews

Marc Rattue reviewed a Suzuki Jimny 1.3 16v:

"Very glad I came across this excellent site. I was worried about the way my Jimny required 4000revs plus at times to get up hills when towing, but I see that this is as expected, and to be fair to the car, the temperature needle has never budged, so it seems happy with it. You just have to get accustomed to the sound of the engine pitch at that those revolutions from time to time. I have looked at more powerful cars for towing, but a Tab360 and Jimny are such a great looking combination, and for me, complement each others small but spirited and adventurous characters perfectly! Fairly new to towing, and don't have anyone to advise, so very grateful for the info on this site.

Happy Towing!

Marc"
