Stupid question, maybe ?

I was waiting at a drive thru that's kinda of slanted and when i let off the brakes it started going backwards like a standard would but I have an automatic tranny .. I have a 1989 mustang and a 1997 T-Bird both of them RWD automatic cars and never experienced this before. I'm a new to truck and was wondering if I was missing something?

Check your transmission fluid level.

if fluid is good, your idle isn't extremely low is it?

So it just rolled back as if in neutral..as opposed to being powered backwards? And still moved forward with gas. Is fine I would think. You didn't say what year it is. The Mustang and T-bird automatic transmissions would be different than a fairly new Rangers. Maybe the newer designs also achieve a better no drive/neutral state at idle?

My truck does the same exact thing if on a hill. Some spots if it is not slanted enough it will not roll at all if I take my foot off the brake.

X2 it has been this way with every AT vehicle I have owned not just my Ranger

Sometimes if on a good incline I like to let it roll. Especially if someone is right on my butt. I love the look on their face and enjoy them honking
