Looking for some feedback & maybe some of you can do a test and share your experiences.
I live on a small hill in a neighborhood and the entrance of my driveway is about a 25-30 degree hill and then it flattens out on top for about 50' of parking area.
I often back in from the road and have had no power issues, even if I go slow as I have a stone wall on 1 side and a dropoff on the other.
Yesterday I was maneuvering my truck to a different part of my driveway, and I stopped on the hill near the top and put it into reverse to back it into position. To my surprise the truck didn't budge until I got to about 4k rpms, and then it barely moved. Thinking the transmission wasn't in correctly I put it in D & moved a little further down; same thing. This time i pushed it to 5k & it backed up but still very slowly. Now this is a something I have done in my previous truck many times and it behaved "normally", meaning it reacted the same in reverse starting on a hill as it did if I started on flat ground and moved onto a hill.
Can anybody else, particularly with the V6, test reverse starting on a hill and share your experience with me? Wondering if I have a problem or if this is just how they tune the transmission.
