Dead Pedals

How many of you Guys have installed a aftermarket dead pedal? What brand? I'm looking for something a little taller than what I have in my 2019 F350 Super Duty.

Ok, I’ll bite. What’s a dead pedal? Sounds like something you’d want to avoid rather than add.

A stationary pedal to brace your foot against.
It is a more comfortable position than just flat on the floor.

It's a pedal to rest your foot on.

The Z-28 Camaro had a dead pedal which kept your left foot closer to the clutch.

In a SD with an automatic, it's most likely for driver comfort vs. readiness at the brake or bracing like you would in an off-road rig.

I would think on the Ford SD the “dead pedal” location would cover the e-brake pedal?

I think it’d go behind the E-brake. There’s a foot rest area with a pad already there. I may look at these myself.

There's not much room there without blocking operation of the parking brake. Below is a picture with the brake engaged on my '19.

I don't use the parking brake for parking, but I find it very handy and use it almost every time I hook up to a trailer. It's very handy for keeping the truck still after lining the ball up under the hitch.

It looks like there are some that do go behind the E-brake and some that fit in what would be a clutch pedal area. That might be a more effective position as the one behind the E-brake looks pretty low. The way I keep everything adjusted it wouldn’t take much above the factory foot rest to make a difference.

Once Ford went to an electronic e-brake in the F150 in 2021 they put a dead pedal there. The problem is in the 24 F250 they have the electronic e-brake but did NOT put the same deadpedal as they put in the F150. With my older super duties I wasn’t really looking for a dead pedal as there wasn’t much room. Now with my 24, there is nothing but room without that e-brake pedal there.
