Definately length of vehicle and length of drawbar are the deciding factors.More impotantly the distance from the rear axle to the towball.I've been good at backing trailers for years,and could reverse A Trains before the new fangled B Train came along - but I suck with the Pajero which is wierd.But it has a long wheelbase,poor lock and short distance between axle and towball....plus I can't see the trailer.Put the same trailer on the Diamante which has the same wheelbase...and I look like I'm born to it.

Yours is the short wheelbase Pajero !
With the long wheel base model, the trailer is in a different timezone to the truck. And even if you could see the trailer, by the time the light crossed the near interplantary distance the trailer would already be upside down in the rose garden

I assure you of this fact sir
Yep...Unit has it sortedIt's easy, put the trailer on the back, select reverse..... you guys complicate everything....

Thank you.
People who cannot reverse a trailer, provide hours of entertainment for others.
The best demonstrations are at a boat ramp...

Yes I suck at backing a trailer.LOL
I can only do it with my mirrors.
Practice practice practice the only way to learn. Take it to a car park some place and practice practice practice. Try doing it with your mirrors you may find it easier
Good luck

No,it's got 4 doors,so LWB.That superior feeling looking down at the little people in mere Corolla's soon gets deflated trying to get to the tip face.
Not to give the boat ramp drongos any excuse - but it is harder to back down hill.
My worst episode was leaving Waiheke Island - I had my trailer so loaded the tyres were rubbing on the guards,or at least one more so than the other.This acted as a brake and there was no way I could back it straight,it just kept veering off to one side.Then the removal truck was grounding it's towbar on the ferry ramp - the ferry backed off,and then rammed itself into the tuck.

Try a tandem trailer in a carpark,tandems usually steer easier,or else try a trailer with longer drawbar first,then your away lol.Reverse either from the left or right of the angle you want to attempt,which ever way is more comfortable for you,me I prefer to reverse from the right side,that way the trailer is by the drivers side and can see easier.If you can back into a transfer station area your complete.

I still remember doing my truck and trailer licence in a flat deck with a pole jinker behind lol 5 m draw bar, talk about piece of preverbial ! Heavy wheels and rollers on a forklift lol. Month or so later i was driving rigs with 40 ft curtain siders ! Heavy as we liked to load em, as many hours as we wanted Then it was onto the B train ! Got shoved into an A train once, told them to shove that up their whatsit, far too many pivot points for this brain to comprehend, though some say its easier than a B train
A girlfriend once asked " Why is it you seem to prefer to race, than spend time with me ?"
The answer was simple ! "I'll prolly get bored with racing too, once i've nailed it !"
Bowls can wait !
