Read Jotto's post above. You've probably knocked the short gear lever into neutral accidently with your knee getting in the truck, we've nearly all been caught out with that little heart-stopper!

SHORT GEAR LEVER WHERES THAT TOLD U I NO NOTHING ABOUT CARS

O.k. You have the main gear lever, the one that has P.R.N.D.2.1.
Next to that there is a shorter gearlever with H-L on the top with a button on the side of it.
It's this short lever that has three positions, H Neutral L Sometimes, the lever gets knocked into the neutral position by the person getting into the drivers seat's, knee. Put truck into park, then pull short lever back towards the seat, then main lever into 'D' or 'R' and all should be well.
