Handbrake Hill Hold 2022 VX

I have a 2022 VX Prado and am confused if the car should have a working hill hold (no handbrake required on hill starts).
Mine does not and I am currently towing a small caravan and when I am stationary on a hill and then take off without using the handbrake, the car does initially roll back and then make a clicking alarm noise before starting to move.
Is this normal ?

The clicking is the hill holding working. It is not designed to hold all of that extra weight. Use your footbrake or handbrake when taking off towing on hills.
