Starting failures on slopes

Toyota Hilux 2007
I bought my Hilux 4x2 in 2007 and it has always failed when starting it on an uphill road; it does not start with enough power and remains stopped for an instant and then suddenly responds. I took it to the agency, where I was told it was the clutch, which comes with a particular adjustment and on inclined roads that usually happens. Even more, it is sometimes hard to set the first geat at low speeds; the car has to be almost stopped so that it changes to first gear without a problem.

Buddy, if your car has more than 20 or 30 thousand miles, I recommend you to regulate the clutch in order to compensate its wear. By doing so, you will notice how gears are set easily.

As it is a turbo diesel vehicle, you have to make sure that, when starting on a slope, revolutions are the appropriate ones, around 2500 rpm. Otherwise, you will lose power and the engine can even stall.
