The towing limit is exceeded by 150 kg!
It is not allowed to drive with this Caravan.
Make sure the towing limit is correct.

We now give advice based on the assumption that the legal maximum towing weight is higher for your car and that the car should be allowed to tow this caravan!

The Toyota Corolla Hb 2.0 D4-D with a Caravan leeg: 1250 kg with an actual weight of 1450 kg is a match just suitable for most journeys but also with some limitations.

The motor preformance of the Toyota is in general just sufficient. But 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 (too) heavy. Move the luggage from the caravan to the car and drive not too fast and carefully. Remember to load your caravan correctly, insuring that the noseweight of the caravan is sufficient and the weight is distributed properly. But even so, a starting caravan driver is better off choosing a smaller and less heavy caravan!

Actual Weights

Performance

 

Weight

  • The towing limit is exceeded by 150 kg (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 91%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 104%.
  • The risk of snaking at higher speeds, strong side winds and thoughtless driving is great. Even if the combination normally feels stable, the forces by deflection side to side are so great that it could be dangerous. Only if the driver has a lot of knowledge and experience in driving a caravan it should be safe to drive slowly. Proper and careful loading is essential! An electronic stability system in the car and / or on the caravan is definitely recommended.
  • Recommended noseweight is 75 - 80 kg.
  • Towball limit is 55 kg (Check this on the type plate of your towbar!)
  • Safe speed up to 50 mph (80 km/h).
  • Stability and safety score to compare is 97 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 just sufficient.
  • Proper and careful loading is essential!
  • It's a fairly good match, only for experienced (caravan) drivers and with some limitations.

 

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

Rob Sexton reviewed a Toyota Corolla Hb 2.0 D4-D:

"There are two types of Corolla diesel estate knocking about in 04, with different engines. I ended up with the lower powered one, at 89 BHP

My caravan is a 94 Craftsman Majestic which is difficult to collect data for online as the company has gone bust. I'm not entirely sure quite what it weighs.

I'm new to caravanning, and find pulling the beast harder than expected with my car. I get a lot of sway above 55mph. I don't pack the van, and made sure last time I travelled with very little water on board which made a huge difference. I would be reluctant to get an awing due to the extra weight."
