Performance
The engine's performance is generally good on flat roads (performance score to compare 231 points).
Speeds of 75 mph (121 km/h) to 81 mph (130 km/h) are often quite possible.
There is more than enough power at low engine speeds (score to compare 219 points).
Slightly higher revs (1700 rpm) may be necessary under normal conditions on flat roads.
Acceleration from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) is theoretically possible in 18.6 sec.
In the mountains the performance is generally very good (score to compare 263 points).
No problems are to be expected on steep mountain roads. Hill starts are possible on steep slopes up to 18%.
On motorway inclines higher revs (2600 rpm) are needed.
A speed of 65 mph (105 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.
Weight ratio between the laden caravan and the loaded car is 71%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 80%.
The chance of snaking is relatively small at normal speed, if the caravan is well loaded.
Recommended noseweight is 65 - 75 kg.
Towball limit is 52 kg (Check this on the type plate of your towbar!)
Safe speed up to 62 mph (100 km/h).
Stability and safety score to compare is 182 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 fairly good.
Safe driving is possible.
It's a perfect match!
Influence of User Payload on stability
Weight distribution and noseweight are vital in obtaining a stable caravan.
