Pic - getting ready for ND winter. And park brake annoyance

[TMND]

as for the parking brake whenever I’m on flat ground and there’s plenty of it around here, I can hear the parking brake automatically engage but when on any slight incline like my driveway, it doesn’t and when I put the vehicle in park, it rolls back and bounces on the parking “gear”. Unless I of course, manually engage it, but WTH.

Nice looking truck and photo! Seems like a good one for the "Doing Truck Things" thread. Did you weigh that load?

The parking brake behavior seems like a bug. My brake seems to randomly engage in Park when it feels like it, so I treat it as I would an older vehicle and always engage the brake by hand. It's a good habit in a world where not all vehicles are new anyway.

My opinion is probably unusual, but I miss hand or foot operated parking brakes. They just make so much sense. (In my opinion.)

Is there a doing truck things thread? I guess I haven’t noticed one yet. No idea on the weight but my old F150 would’ve been squatted to the rubber stops. I’m in agreement with you on the parking brake. Somethings are best left mechanical instead of electric.

Inclination is the trigger, probably working normal.
I usually manually set mine when not parked in my garage.
