 Performance | | Weight |
The Landrover Freelander 1.8i with a Paardentrailer 1,5 paardstrailer with an actual weight of 1400 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 Landrover is in general more than sufficient. And also the weight of the Paardentrailer with a normally distributed User Payload (200 kg in the caravan and 200 kg in the car including passengers), is not too heavy, if the caravan is well loaded.

- Landrover Freelander 1.8i: 1720 kg.
- Noseweight: 75 kg.
- Actual weight ratio: 81%.
Performance
- The engine's performance is generally good on flat roads (performance score to compare 217 points).
- Speeds of 76 mph (122 km/h) to 81 mph (131 km/h) are often quite possible.
- There is sufficient power at low engine speeds (score to compare 181 points).
- Slightly higher revs (2300 rpm) may be necessary under normal conditions on flat roads.
- Acceleration from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) is theoretically possible in 25.2 sec.
- In the mountains the performance is generally fairly good (score to compare 199 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 higher revs (4800 rpm) are needed.
- A speed of 60 mph (97 km/h) is usually possible on most motorway inclines.
Weight
- The towing limit of the Landrover 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 81%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 94%.
- The chance of snaking is small even at higher speeds.
- Recommended noseweight is 75 kg.
- Stability and safety score to compare is 205 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.
- 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.
