Exactly. This is most likely an issue of how the car is parked. Before "automatic parking brakes" were a thing, the way to eliminate the problem you're having was: Stop with foot on brake, shift to neutral, apply parking brake, shift into park, turn car off. While it seems like a lot, you can do it in a second once you train yourself. Even with the automatic parking brake, I still find myself reaching down and applying it before I take my foot off the brake. Try it, let us know if this helps!
Yes I am an old school. Before the automatic thing it was super simple.
Yes that is what I usually do when I had an STD trans and also manual parking break. I will try and see. Thank you.
I actually do this parking/brake maneuver in my garage, it has just the slightest incline going in that I feel the 4Runner slightly rock back after placing in park, the typical way without putting it in neutral first, when I take my foot off the brake.
Just discovered the easiest way and so simple. When ever u park up or down hill. First apply foot break than shift to park, continue to apply foot break until u see the word PARK indicator in your dash board than release the foot break. Now when ever you put into REVERSE from this method it will go so smooth

Omg. Super simple Tony. Just discovered now. So when ever you park whether flat, up or down hill following this procedure. First apply your foot break than shift to PARK. WAIT until you see the word PARK indicator appears on your dash board than u can release the foot break. Boom. From this position when you start your car again from PARK position to REVERSE or what ever will be so smooth
. Dummy me. Just discovered now after clueless for 3 months.
Thanks for the advice I was able to figure out. On my TRAIL HUNTER automatic parking break always engaged in PARK position. So first I applied foot break than shift to PARK position and wait until I see the word PARK appears on my dash board. Now when I started the car I can go from PARK to REVERSE on flat/incline/decline super smooth. Thank you.
Thank you.You can also turn off the auto mode, if you wish. You can also still use the switch even when auto mode is enabled.

Also, even in automatic
