Performance
Weight

The Mitsubishi Outlander 2.4 MIVEC 4WD with a Swift Challenger 560 with an actual weight of 1489 kg is in general a good match and suitable for all journeys on all kinds of roads.

The motor preformance of the Mitsubishi is in general fairly good. But the weight of the Swift with a normally distributed User Payload (200 kg in the caravan and 200 kg in the car including passengers), is quite heavy, but no problem if the caravan is well loaded and the driving speed is not too fast. Remember to load your caravan correctly, insuring that the noseweight of the caravan is sufficient and the weight is distributed properly!

Weight

  • The towing limit of the Mitsubishi is 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 80%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 89%.
  • The risk of snaking at higher speeds, strong side winds and thoughtless driving exist. 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 knowledge of and experience in driving a caravan it should be safe to drive. Proper and careful loading is essential! An electronic stability system in the car and / or on the caravan is recommended.
  • Recommended noseweight is 80 kg.
  • Safe speed up to 56 mph (90 km/h).
  • Stability and safety score to compare is 135 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.
  • Proper and careful loading is still important!
  • 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

Donald Micheal Ryder reviewed a Mitsubishi Outlander 2.4 MIVEC 4WD:

"We have towed with this vehicle for approximately 2 years , a bit thirsty about 21-22 mpg being a 4 wheel permanment drive and auto ,I had an LPG conversion costing £1000 ,I get the same performance from the Outlander but at a much less cost 46-50 pence per litre.We changed our van from a Charisma 560 to a Challenger 560 ,a lttle bit heavier and longer but so far the towing figures are the same,I would recommend the vehicle for towing and normal use ,it has the same charecteristics as a larger 4x4 but is much smaller ,not so many problems for the ladies when parking.The caravan is as usual up to Swift's very fine standards we particulary like the fixed bed .
