- pcoplinExplorer III've never worried about it. Do you chock your tires when you park at the store? :)
- MKishExplorer IINot usually, but my tires aren't perched on leveling blocks at the store.
- SidecarFlipExplorer IIII've never 'perched' my tires on levelling blocks...anywhere an d no I don' chock them either. My truck has a 'Park' detent on the shifter. That does the job for me.

Fair enough. But once the truck is "level" on "leveling" blocks, I would assume it's "level", and therefore would not be "unlevel". :) - d3500ramExplorer IIII put the truck in gear, set the parking brake AND chock the tires. I have camped in some backwoods areas where if anything went wrong while sleeping it would end up not being very good.
- jimh406Explorer IIIMy TC doesn't have tires. I do use the emergency brake on the truck. ;)
- Buzzcut1Nomad III will chock the tires if I am on a slope and have one end rather high on leveling blocks. you can see the chock behind my front wheel in the pic. I was 6 or 7 lego blocks high in the back

^^^^^^^LMAO.. beat me to it.. well played sir.
No... can't say I ever have, and I use ramps often. But I am a strong believer in the parking brake. Anyone that relies on "park" to hold a load, and is willing to put that much stress on the tranny, well...you're not paying attention.
Chocks are a good idea. Nothing wrong with them. Use them often, just haven't had the truck/TC parked in a position that was anything north of comfortable. Everyone has their limits of comfort. - I've never used wheel chocks on my truck, even when I park on leveling blocks.
- joeshmoeExplorernope. that's what the e-brake is for. choks are for anything that can easily roll away, IMO, like my boat trailer, when it's detached.
