Weight

The Seat Toledo 1.9 TDI S with a Caravan leeg: 1000 kg with an actual weight of 1200 kg is in general a good match and suitable for all journeys on all kinds of roads.

The motor preformance of the Seat is in general more than sufficient. And also the weight of the Caravan 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

Performance

 

Weight

  • The towing limit of the Seat 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 76%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 88%.
  • 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 kg.
  • Safe speed up to 62 mph (100 km/h).
  • Stability and safety score to compare is 163 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 more than sufficient.
  • 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.

User Reviews

Martin reviewed a Seat Toledo 1.9 TDI S:

"On a recent holiday to the Scottish Highlands pulling generally on flat motorway was fine in 5th gear at 60 mph and 34+ mpg. Motorway hills required a drop to 4th gear to maintain speed resulting in 24mpg or less. Steep A roads required 3rd gear to achieve 40mph and a measily 16mpg! Without pulling the van this car gives up to 54mpg! I am staggered at the reduced mpg and will be looking at getting a better match via whattowcar. Hill starts were no problem but acceleration was slow overall. Overtaking lorries on the mortorway was dicey once our caravan became level with their cab, the buffetting from the wind caused us to slow down and minor instability even with a stabilizer bar fitted. No problems reversing however. Caravan is an ABI Horizon 380/2 700kg unladen."
