It snowed a little that day and the driveway is on a slight incline. Put my 20017 Tacoma in 4 wheel drive and went up the driveway and parked with no problem. Placed the vehicle in park. I never use my parking brake. I had a Tundra prior to this truck. Then went into my residence. Two hours later my daughter informed she heard a bang and observed my truck apparently rolled down the hill hitting a tree. When I went out to investigate I observed my vehicle was in park with extensive damage to my right rear and also noticed that there was no skid or drag marks on the grass when it rolled. There was tire tread marks. Checked with Toyota recall and found nothing. Question is why after two hours did it roll?
