Weight

The Toyota Previa 2.4 16v VVT-i aut. with a Lunar Quasar 566 with an actual weight of 1345 kg is in general a good match and suitable for all journeys on all kinds of roads.

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

Actual Weights

Performance

 

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, you will need a B+E (or B96) driving license.
  • Weight ratio between the laden caravan and the loaded car is 68%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 76%.
  • The chance of snaking is relatively small at normal speed, if the caravan is well loaded.
  • Recommended noseweight is 75 kg.
  • Safe speed up to 62 mph (100 km/h).
  • Stability and safety score to compare is 186 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 fairly 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

Steve Pearce reviewed a Toyota Previa 2.4 16v VVT-i aut.:

"Hi, Just read the What Tow Car review for a unit I am thinking of buying. Although they do not list the caravan - Lunar Ultima 615L I used a similar caravan. Looking at the review I will not be using top gear unless on a complete flat / down hill run, This will make the fuel consumption really poor - I think my V8 Land Rover was cheaper to run. The review also says that this will be lively and at the top of a hill first - I cant do that without towing - I have towed caravans for about 20 years - and know what to expect - and this is not one! I have also converted the Previa to LPG and can not notice a performance reduction - only reduction is what you pay at the pump! My Previa is the fully loaded version - Front Climate / Rear AC / built in DVD / Sat Nav / Cruise / Leather / Twin Sunroof / Privicy Glass / and all that "nice to have" and is a real pleasure to drive. If buying one - be prepared to drive like an "old man on Sunday" it wont out run a snail - but you don't buy a MPV of this size for it's performance!
Overview:
Build Quality - Excellent
Looks - Great on the outside - typical Modern car on the inside - boring!
Reliability - One sensor failed in 20k miles - really good
Service interval - 10000 miles / 12 months
Fuel - LPG £25 for 200 miles on a run
LPG £25 for 180 miles Town
Petrol £70 for 225 miles on a run
Petrol £70 for 200 miles Town
Would I buy another - this is my second Previa - Superb vehicle for what I need - just dont expect to be the first to arrive!"
