If you were able to safely get a cell phone clip showing your foot on the brake and the RPM up like that im sure Ford would be very interested.....

FYI sometimes my larger shoes/boots I have been pushing on the gas pedal as well. Could be hung up on the floor mat. Could be the truck and not you or your matts keep an eye on it.

As much as I dislike your trolling and arrogance, this really does suck. Sorry to hear that your new truck is having issues. Honestly, though, this is sometimes the risk of early delivery new launch vehicles. I hope Ford can find a cause and make sure it gets addressed for everyone else's trucks.
