My 92 Pathfinder XE VG03E has automatic transmission.

It has always felt like it struggles to shift through acceleration;
especially going up a 7% grade or more (tach goes up to 4.5-5k, sits for a
while then a jolt shift). Do others see this same problem. Mine has done
it since it was brand new, but I started towing some recently and was
wondering if it got worse. Maybe I am just witnessing a motor power issue.
Everthing else is fine, just wanting to compare.

If it is just a shift point issue and a hard shift, and it's
been that way for tens of thousands of miles, it isn't much
to be concerned over. Now if it slips as it upshifts then
you got problems.

When is the last time you replaced the transmission fluid? I replace mine
once a year regardless...
