Re: Towing Issue
Hi Phil,
I doubt the xtrail is powerful enough to push that type of load in reverse and on such an incline and nope it's not the same as going forward.
You're not doing anything wrong and in fact you don't even need to engage the 4x4 for this, as the AUTO mode will be enough.
If going in reverse is your only option you gonna face problems doing so in an xtrail.

Re: Towing Issue
3 things...
- the Triton is a manual I expect so no slippage from a torque converter
- 1st gear is lower ratio than reverse
- the 1.2T camper trailer is almost doubling the total weight when coupled to the Xtrail compared to the Triton
Can you tow the boat up the incline forwards in 1st ? If not then don't expect it to in reverse.
