No it's not normal for the fogs to turn on when you put the truck in reverse.
Do you possibly have the fogs turned on a DRLs? Try setting the parking brake and see if the fogs turn on in reverse, DRLs don't turn on if the parking brake is set.

DRLs turning off when the parking brake is set has work across multiple manufacturers for years. If you don't have the DRL setting in the radio to turn them off, you can push the parking brake just enough to turn them off and still drive if want them off.
