The “mental gymnastics” you’re referring to here is kind of a moot point. This wasn’t a thread about a truck sliding down the hill, although thats likely what happened. This was about the OP believing there was a mechanical failure. Allowing it to keyword here, Roll.

Yes. A video showing a truck sliding on ice seems to illustrate my point rather than negate it.

Seems like a questionable design to double-lock the back wheels (awl plus parking brake) with nothing locking the front, but, hey, I'm a software guy, not a mechanical engineer.

You probably just don't realize it if you never needed to think about it. But this is what putting any 2wd or 4wd-in-2wd automatic transmission vehicle in park does. There is nothing different about the lightning vs any other pickup truck and most cars.
