 Performance | |  Weight |
The Mitsubishi Pajero Sport 2.5 TD with a Compass Rallye 482 with an actual weight of 1440 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 Mitsubishi is in general sufficient. And also the weight of the Compass with a normally distributed User Payload (200 kg in the caravan and 200 kg in the car including passengers), is very good.

Actual Weights
- Compass Rallye 482: 1440 kg.
- Mitsubishi Pajero Sport 2.5 TD: 2140 kg.
- Noseweight: 80 kg.
- Actual weight ratio: 67%.
Performance
- The engine's performance is generally fairly good on flat roads (performance score to compare 178 points).
- Speeds of 69 mph (111 km/h) to 75 mph (121 km/h) are often quite possible.
- There is only moderate power at low engine speeds (score to compare 141 points).
- Slightly higher revs (2000 rpm) may be necessary under normal conditions on flat roads.
- Acceleration from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) is theoretically possible in 29.7 sec.
- In the mountains the performance is generally fairly good (score to compare 151 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 11%, but do require some experience from the driver.
- On motorway inclines the speed drops despite high revs.
- A speed of 54 mph (87 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 (or B96) driving license.
- The caravan is too heavily loaded.
- Weight ratio between the laden caravan and the loaded car is 67%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 74%.
- The chance of snaking is relatively small at normal speed, if the caravan is well loaded.
- Recommended noseweight is 80 kg.
- Safe speed up to 62 mph (100 km/h).
- Stability and safety score to compare is 189 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.
