Weight

The Volvo XC60 D4 AWD aut. with a Eriba Touring Troll 550 with an actual weight of 1225 kg is in general a good match and suitable for all journeys on all kinds of roads.

The motor preformance of the Volvo is in general very good. And also the weight of the Eriba with a normally distributed User Payload (200 kg in the caravan and 200 kg in the car including passengers), is very good.

Weight

  • The towing limit of the Volvo 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 59%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 65%.
  • The chance of snaking is small even at higher speeds.
  • Recommended noseweight is 70 kg.
  • Stability and safety score to compare is 223 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 very 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.

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

Kam reviewed a Volvo XC60 D4 AWD aut.:

"I have owned my XC60 D4 AWD auto since new. The car is now 5 years old and has 66000 on the clock.

The car tows an Eriba 550GT and it really is effortless. I’ve done lots of long journeys including Scotland, Southern France, Norfolk and Wales. The journey is always relaxing and safe. I’ve even towed in deep snow without issue and the AWD has helped me in muddy fields when other cars have had to be towed out with a tractor.

The only downside is the cost of a new XC60. I’ll be looking to change when my car hits 100000 miles and new Volvos are now eye wateringly expensive!
