When I stop on a slight hill, apply the handbrake and release the footbrake. The car will move slightly and will rattle before it fully stops.
Is this normal?

Normal for a E Brake that uses shoes in a drum to roll back or settle, not normal if the E brake use pads on a disc. A lot of the movement when holding on a hill is the suspension, it feels worse in a LC as it has a lot of suspension movement to shift.
Ps. Not normal for the rattle.
Foot brake actuates rear pads/rotors, e-brake actuates rear shoes/drums. When switching from foot- to e-brake the e-brake shoes are not yet loaded with holding force, they've just been moved into position. If you're on a hill the tolerance stack up between all the unloaded e-brake parts and the truck needs to be taken up. Hence, movement.
Ok. That's new to me. Every vehicle I have ever driven and set the parking brake the vehicle is not moved, when properly adjusted that is.
So this seems not normal to me, but whatever.
On flat ground, mine doesn't move either. But on a hill, it'll move a little before it stops.
I've never experienced that with a properly adjusted parking brake.
