its a single spinner, guessing its sending the power to the wheel with the less resistance.

is it a 3 speed auto? if it is 3000rpm at 100 is probably about right.

Is it auto? if its a manual, then it would have 3.50:1 diff gears.
If its auto, it may not be changing into drive, or it slips a lot.
A lot of XF utes at that time had 2.77 or 3.23 diff ratios.

Sounds like the kick down cable might be broken, and theres some slipping as well. When the cable is broken, it changes up gears quickly.
