Weight

The Jeep Patriot 2.0 CRD with a Lunar Quasar EB with an actual weight of 1330 kg is in general a good match and suitable for all journeys on all kinds of roads.

The motor preformance of the Jeep is in general 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 pretty good.

Actual Weights

Performance

 

Weight

  • The towing limit of the Jeep 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 73%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 81%.
  • 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 75 kg.
  • Safe speed up to 62 mph (100 km/h).
  • Stability and safety score to compare is 168 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.
  • 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

Richard Stiles reviewed a Jeep Patriot 2.0 CRD:

"Was initially concerned as I have always towed with larger vehicles but my fears were unwarranted. The Patriot tows the Bailey Pageant Vendee with ease. Nose weight took some juggling as the caravan was 147kg with just one gas bottle up front. We travel quite light so struggled to be able to move much to get the nose weight down to a more satisfactory 85kg. Cruised easily at 60mph and was able to pass HGV's on up hill stretches of dual carriageway without concern. I can honestly say that the Patriot tows as well as my previous Grand Cherokee 4.0 and has the same torque figure. Pat returns 30 mpg towing compared to 16mpg in the Grand Cherokee."
