No real problems with the Overland; it’s big and heavy so you would expect it to provide a firm anchor for its caravan, and there’s a 140kg noseweight limit. Somehow, though, it didn’t always feel happy.
The suspension is perhaps a bit soft for towing. Hill starting is a doddle, and the handbrake held well even though it’s positioned for left-hand drive and you have to stretch a long way across the transmission tunnel.
