 Performance | |  Weight |
The Mitsubishi Pajero Sport 2.5 TD with a Hobby Prestige 650 UMFe with an actual weight of 1784 kg is a match suitable for most journeys, sometimes with some limitations.
The motor preformance of the Mitsubishi is in general sufficient. But the weight of the Hobby with a normally distributed User Payload (200 kg in the caravan and 200 kg in the car including passengers), is quite heavy. Proper and careful loading is essential and don't drive too fast. Remember to load your caravan correctly, insuring that the noseweight of the caravan is sufficient and the weight is distributed properly!

Actual Weights
- Hobby Prestige 650 UMFe: 1784 kg.
- Mitsubishi Pajero Sport 2.5 TD: 2140 kg.
- Noseweight: 95 kg.
- Actual weight ratio: 83%.
Performance
- The engine's performance is generally fairly good on flat roads (performance score to compare 162 points).
- Speeds of 67 mph (108 km/h) to 74 mph (119 km/h) are often quite possible.
- There is only moderate power at low engine speeds (score to compare 123 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 33.2 sec.
- In the mountains the performance is generally sufficient (score to compare 122 points).
- No problems are to be expected on steep mountain roads but the performance is not that great. Hill starts are possible on steep slopes up to 10%, but do require some experience from the driver.
- On motorway inclines the speed drops despite high revs.
- A speed of 51 mph (82 km/h) is usually possible on most motorway inclines.
Weight
- The towing limit of the Mitsubishi 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 driving license.
- Weight ratio between the laden caravan and the loaded car is 83%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 92%.
- The risk of snaking at higher speeds, strong side winds and thoughtless driving exist. Even if the combination normally feels stable, the forces by deflection side to side are so great that it could be dangerous. Only if the driver has knowledge of and experience in driving a caravan it should be safe to drive. Proper and careful loading is essential! An electronic stability system in the car and / or on the caravan is recommended.
- Recommended noseweight is 95 kg.
- Safe speed up to 56 mph (90 km/h).
- Stability and safety score to compare is 134 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.
- Proper and careful loading is still important!
- 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.
