2010 Honda Pilot. It really struggles going up the driveway backwards at a 15% grade. Thoughts?

I bought it used and it has been sluggish in reverse the entire time I have owned it.

Probably just a gearing thing. I doubt theres a problem.

Thanks. Feels like we have plenty of power in the drive position.

Agreed regarding the gearing. Especially if the driveway is uphill

I didn't mean something was wrong with the gearing. It just means that

Reverse is 1.889, first gear is 2.697, and second gear is 1.606.
