 Performance | |  Weight |
The Jeep Cherokee 2.2 CRD with a Buccaneer Barracuda with an actual weight of 1990 kg is a match just suitable for most journeys but also with some limitations.
The motor preformance of the Jeep is in general good. But the weight of the Buccaneer with a User Payload (159 kg in the caravan and 200 kg in the car including passengers), is (too) heavy. Move the luggage from the caravan to the car and drive not too fast and carefully. Remember to load your caravan correctly, insuring that the noseweight of the caravan is sufficient and the weight is distributed properly. But even so, a starting caravan driver is better off choosing a smaller and less heavy caravan!

Actual Weights
- Buccaneer Barracuda: 1990 kg.
- Jeep Cherokee 2.2 CRD: 2178 kg.
- Noseweight: 100 kg.
- Actual weight ratio: 91%.
Performance
- The engine's performance is generally very good on flat roads (performance score to compare 255 points).
- Speeds of 80 mph (129 km/h) to 85 mph (137 km/h) are often quite possible.
- There is more than enough power at low engine speeds (score to compare 214 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 16.9 sec.
- In the mountains the performance is generally very good (score to compare 313 points).
- No problems are to be expected on steep mountain roads (up to 25%). Not even on Hill starts.
- On motorway inclines higher revs (2500 rpm) are needed.
- A speed of 69 mph (112 km/h) is usually possible on most motorway inclines.
Weight
- The towing limit of the Jeep 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 driving license.
- Weight ratio between the laden caravan and the loaded car is 91%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 102%.
- The risk of snaking at higher speeds, strong side winds and thoughtless driving is great. Even if the combination normally feels stable, the forces by deflection side to side are so great that it could be dangerous. Only if the driver has a lot of knowledge and experience in driving a caravan it should be safe to drive slowly. Proper and careful loading is essential! An electronic stability system in the car and / or on the caravan is definitely recommended.
- Recommended noseweight is 100 kg.
- Safe speed up to 50 mph (80 km/h).
- Stability and safety score to compare is 88 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.
- Proper and careful loading is essential!
- It's a fairly good match, only for experienced (caravan) drivers and with some limitations.
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.
