The gearing ratio for reverse is closer to second gear than it is to first gear. It's kind of like starting from a dead stop going uphill in second gear without shifting down to first.

CB car gurus, have a question for you. Vehicle is very underpowered in reverse

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
