The towing limit is exceeded by 121 kg!
It is not allowed to drive with this LMC.
Make sure the towing limit is correct.
We now give advice based on the assumption that the legal maximum towing weight is higher for your car and that the car should be allowed to tow this caravan!
The Toyota Verso 2.2 D-4D D-CAT with a LMC Dominant 520 TE with an actual weight of 1421 kg is in general a good match and suitable for all journeys on all kinds of roads.
The motor preformance of the Toyota is in general good. And also the weight of the LMC 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.

Actual Weights
- LMC Dominant 520 TE: 1421 kg.
- Toyota Verso 2.2 D-4D D-CAT: 1785 kg.
- Noseweight: 80 kg.
- Actual weight ratio: 80%.
Performance
- The engine's performance is generally good on flat roads (performance score to compare 239 points).
- Speeds of 76 mph (123 km/h) to 82 mph (132 km/h) are often quite possible.
- There is a lot of power at low engine speeds (score to compare 292 points).
- Higher revs (1600 rpm) are usually not necessary on flat roads, under most circumstances.
- Acceleration from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) is theoretically possible in 17.4 sec.
- In the mountains the performance is generally very good (score to compare 287 points).
- No problems are to be expected on steep mountain roads. Hill starts are possible on steep slopes up to 20%.
- On motorway inclines higher revs (2200 rpm) are needed.
- A speed of 67 mph (108 km/h) is usually possible on most motorway inclines.
Weight
- The towing limit is exceeded by 121 kg (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 80%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 90%.
- There is a small chance of snaking at higher speeds, strong side winds and thoughtless driving. Even if the combination normally feels stable, the forces by deflection side to side are great at high speed. For drivers with knowledge of, and experience in driving a caravan it is safe to drive, but proper and careful loading is still important! An electronic stability system in the car and / or on the caravan is worth considering.
- Recommended noseweight is 70 - 80 kg.
- Towball limit is 52 kg (Check this on the type plate of your towbar!)
- Safe speed up to 56 mph (90 km/h).
- Stability and safety score to compare is 141 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 good.
- If the caravan is well loaded 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.
Distribute the User Payload by yourself in the caravan and the car and then find out the stability rating of your loading configuration.
