Performance
The engine's performance is generally good on flat roads (performance score to compare 247 points).
Speeds of 78 mph (126 km/h) to 83 mph (134 km/h) are often quite possible.
There is a lot of power at low engine speeds (score to compare 278 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 17.1 sec.
In the mountains the performance is generally very good (score to compare 293 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 (2300 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, you will need a B+E (or B96) driving license.
Weight ratio between the laden caravan and the loaded car is 64%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 71%.
The chance of snaking is small even at higher speeds.
Recommended noseweight is 75 kg.
Stability and safety score to compare is 209 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.
