Adjust Parking Brake on the 2017’s?

Hey all. My parking brake won’t hold the truck while in neutral even on the most gentle driveway slope. I have been under the truck and browsing online and I can’t find anything about adjustment on the 2017’s. Anyone know? Thanks!

Well, there is always taking it to your dealer and having them adjust it.

Or you can adjust with a brake spoon. It's a small drum inside the rear disk brakes. There will be a small rubber bung you pry out, put the spoon in there or a large flat screw driver and turn the star wheel adjusting the shoes out closer to the inside of the drum.

I think it wise to have the dealer make such an adjustment. Especially while still under factory warranty.
