Reverse Speed Too Fast?
I have a 22re W56-D 4.10 with 31's and I have to feather the clutch when I am reversing because it wants to go too fast and I prefer more controlled reversing.
Does anyone else find this to be the case?

no mine is slow going in reverse but i have stock tire size . I wonder if your rpms are going up as you are reversing for some reason, plus the stock 410 gearing with the larger 31's

Yes, this is the case with every car I've ever driven. Maybe I'm just super cautious when I back up, but I almost Never let the clutch out all the way in reverse.

I say count your blessings.. Not too many people are in the position to complain about Toyota's and speed!
Really, though, reverse is always pretty quick. It's got the biggest gears, so naturally it's gonna jump and go the quickest.

I'm glad it isn't just me! I am comfortable backing with just mirrors but there are times, as wyoming9 mentions, that going slow is important.
Can I use low-range without locking the hubs?

Yeah, the only time I wouldn't use low range is on pavement with ADD hubs. If you have manual hubs, leave them unlocked, STOP, and then go into reverse. If you're off-road, snow, slick etc., and already have hubs locked, you'll need to nearly stop to engage low range.

If you are worried solely about the amount of slipping the clutch does, while you're reversing, it's negligible. If you're worried about the speed of reverse, slip the clutch and see above. I've yet to see a regular vehicle with a reverse lower than first gear. It's somewhere above first, but not as high as second. Unless maybe it's a 60s or older pickup. I've never personally noticed that reverse was too fast to safely use. Is your idle too high?

It is often the case that I am reversing right after I start the truck so the idle may be a little high while it warms up before dropping.
I am not particularly worried about anything but I was wondering if anyone else was feathering the clutch when they reversed. I drive other trucks (full sized domestics) that seem to have a lower reverse gear that don't require the same clutch use as my Toyota.

I guess I do, just never thought about it. I did get tired of backing in the dark, without being able to see, ended up mounting a forklift light on the bumper. All the difference. Especially as you noted, going light to dark.
