This gas pedal is in desperate need of a hard rubber overlay. Aftermarket please to the rescue !
That's why I started a thread about the gas pedal giving the sensation of sticking to my shoe depending on my foot position on the plastic. I was alarmed to see from top to bottom it's all plastic. Turned my attention to the brake pedal and at least they used a metal box for that attachment.

Okay, the steel gas and brake pedals that I got on Ebay cost about $19-$20.00. In search type in... Gas Brake Pedal Pad for Ford Escape,Bronco Sport,Focus. They fit very nice and look great. I am not tech savvy enough to post a pic.

Plastic is disrespected way too often these days. Thermoplastics and composites can actually outperform steel and aluminum in a lot of applications. Longer lasting, lighter, stronger, cheaper. They're starting to take over cars because they're such a no-brainer.
My limit is airplanes, when they start building airplanes of plastic, I'm not flying!

Oh, wait, um, nevermind.🤐

I noticed it's also at a weird angle.

Weird coincidence... it is, in fact, cheap.

LMAO. My response to that is then go buy a comparably equipped F-150 Crew cab XLT Hybrid 4x2 with the High Lux package (gotta buy this one to get the heated seats, etc ). Price: $55,500 out the door. One can by two Mav XLT Hybrids with lux for that!!! Choice is theirs. Granted, the F-150 offers more here and there but it should for that kind of money.

Besides, I prefer the word frugal. :) Cheap is way too harsh a term.
I always quote John Cleese from Faulty Towers, "I'm not cheap, just cheapish!" :)
