There is more than enough power at low engine speeds (score to compare 201 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 13.8 sec.
In the mountains the performance is generally very good (score to compare 302 points).
No problems are to be expected on steep mountain roads. Hill starts are possible on steep slopes up to 22%.
On motorway inclines higher revs (3000 rpm) are needed.
A speed of 68 mph (110 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, a B driving license is enough.
Weight ratio between the laden caravan and the loaded car is 11%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 12%.
The chance of snaking is small even at higher speeds.
Recommended noseweight is 50 kg.
Stability and safety score to compare is 348 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.
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.
