There is a quick fix available until a more permanent one is developed and implemented. The recommendation is to use a 20-30 foot length of stout rope and tie off the vehicle to the nearest tree. Sounds like a plan to me!

Or, make sure that you get into the habit of using your emergency brake!

Our trucks automatically set them when parked on a slope.

That's because you paid the "big bucks"😁.

To add a bit of fuel to the fire - I'm also aware of a Ford recall on the late model F-150's for problems with the emergency brakes!  Apparently this recall is to fix emergency brakes that will "automatically" come on while simply driving down the road!

Imagine the looks we Ford owners are going to get when we start simply chocking our truck wheels even without the Ollie in tow?

OK all you GM, Chevy and Dodge owners out there - here is your chance to pile it on.  But, be forewarned - payback is tough!

p.s.  I specifically excluded the Tundra owners from the above because it is "common knowledge" that Toyota's never have any "issues" 😇
