Actual Weights
- Caravan : 200 kg.
- Toyota Hilux Xcab 2.4 diesel 4x4: 1916 kg.
- Noseweight: 50 kg.
- Actual weight ratio: 10%.
Performance
- The engine's performance is generally fairly good on flat roads (performance score to compare 171 points).
- Speeds of 64 mph (104 km/h) to 71 mph (114 km/h) are often quite possible.
- There is only moderate power at low engine speeds (score to compare 136 points).
- Slightly higher revs (2300 rpm) may be necessary under normal conditions on flat roads.
- Acceleration from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) is theoretically possible in 25.6 sec.
- In the mountains the performance is generally fairly good (score to compare 162 points).
- No problems are to be expected on steep mountain roads. Hill starts are possible on steep slopes up to 13%, but do require some experience from the driver.
- On motorway inclines the speed drops despite high revs.
- A speed of 55 mph (88 km/h) is usually possible on most motorway inclines.
Weight
- The towing limit of the Toyota 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 10%. 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 350 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 sufficient.
- 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.
