    Heavy eh? Probably fighting a slope upwards backwards too I imagine.

    Ive had a few in my time that fought me even with a auto or manual.

    All I can do is encourage you not to stress and try to find the manual for that auto either in the glove compartment or in google books PDF online for your model automatic. I hope that will help you understand what the auto wants from you and maybe just maybe help you get along with it.

    I hope this works out because you would want a different truck if at all possible because if this is stressing you out and causing you to be... not as precise backing a heavy load you might hit something. Ive seen it happen in human nature. Even myself.

    Creep mode is to assist you in backing slowly.

    If you sit too long in gear/ no brakes, no go pedal, it will abort creep mode.

    I personally believe it is intimidated by your beauty.
    Explain to it you just wanna go back - and don't give me a hard time, or else!

    ^^^ This post is a good example of creep mode. A subtle form of it, but creep mode nonetheless.

    I would much rather have a manual. Believe me. So much easier than an auto.

    See... Nothing creepy there, fellows, just a compliment.
    Move along, boys, Don't judge - lest you be judged.
    I had no helpful advice, so I just went with my first thought.
