I thought reverse gear in vehicles was always a lower gear than first?


Usually exactly the same. Just sounds noisier due to the extra gear in the
drive.


No usual about it at all.

It is whatever the manufactures decide to make it.

Whether yuou have better traction reversing or going forwards depends on
which wheels are driven, and the surface conditions at the front and
back. as whell as where you attach the tow rope..
