Parking brake tech has come along way but...on the Rodeos the parking brake is still drum based. You have a set of brake shoes that are inside the rear discs. So our parking brake technology hasn't really come that far.

If you have a vehicle that has true drum brakes you really need to use them, that's how they adjust themselves. Unless you back up and slam on the brakes hard often.

I say start using it. If it sticks fix it.
