So did you actually put it in park, or did it slip?

Yea, we need details on the "click' part of the story.
It could be worse so maybe you won't feel so bad after this story.
My neighbor lady across the street got out of her (now deceased) Toyota Camry, parked it running in front of her house to get the mail, and for some reason it started going in reverse. She tried to open the door to get in and stop it, and I thought she was going to get killed right in front of me by the moving car dragging her or running over her. The car continued DOWN the HILL (with her running and screaming behind it) to a 4 lane highway (T intersection from my road), past the stop sign, and..... well you can guess the rest. No one was hurt in the NASCAR quality pile up.
After seeing that "slow motion nightmare" I have NEVER forgotten to use the parking brake. If I had that on video, viewers of "funniest videos" would laugh, but I assure you it was not funny one bit in person.

Probably because the Suzuki kicked F 150 rear based on the photos.

Here's how it looked today when I went to get my sunglasses.



As for the click... I don't think it was all the way in park. I definitely didnt put it in reverse since I had enough time to get out of the truck, get to the LR door open so stuff could be loaded into the back and that stuff was set on the seat... thats when I heard the click and the truck went backward in a reletive hurry. It was flat ground so it was all the trucks own power moving it.

^ Wich is probably why he isn't fixing it. I got a letter from USAA today saying that they "settled with the other party". LOL. The dent probably poped itself out.

Now... I got it back yesterday and it looks ok. Not great for $4700 worth of repairs but ok for me only having to pay $500 of it.
