 Performance | |  Weight |
The Toyota Yaris 1.3 VVT-i with a Freedom Jetstream 1st Class with an actual weight of 880 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 sufficient. And also the weight of the Freedom with a normally distributed User Payload (200 kg in the caravan and 200 kg in the car including passengers), is very good.

Actual Weights
- Freedom Jetstream 1st Class: 880 kg.
- Toyota Yaris 1.3 VVT-i: 1285 kg.
- Noseweight: 60 kg.
- Actual weight ratio: 68%.
Performance
- The engine's performance is generally fairly good on flat roads (performance score to compare 184 points).
- Speeds of 66 mph (107 km/h) to 73 mph (117 km/h) are often quite possible.
- There is only very moderate power at low engine speeds (score to compare 70 points).
- Slightly higher revs (3200 rpm) may be necessary under normal conditions on flat roads.
- Acceleration from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) is theoretically possible in 23.6 sec.
- In the mountains the performance is generally fairly good (score to compare 177 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, a B driving license is enough.
- The caravan is too heavily loaded.
- 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 81%.
- The chance of snaking is small even at higher speeds.
- Recommended noseweight is 60 kg.
- Stability and safety score to compare is 216 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 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.
