On Ford harley davidson edition F-150 pickups, the brake pedal is stainless steel with rubber strips for traction. While they are very nice looking, they have a serious design flaw. These strips tear off very easily and quickly leaving a polished, stainless steel brake pedal. This is very slippery, especially when the least bit wet. It presents a serious safety hazard - foot sliding off while stopping, while sitting at a traffic light, etc. My truck had the problem at 2100 miles, replaced the pedals at 5000 miles and the new pedals were tearing again with a week. I am a member of the harley truck club (www.nhtoc.com) and the problem is widespread.
