Drove through my neighbors yard and murdered some small trees!

As the title implies My rubber floor mat got hung between my accelerator pedal and my brake pedal when that happens you naturally panic and slam on the brake causing the matt to press harder on the accelerator Making a crazy story short i murdered 2 small trees and a few solar led lights and pushed a carshed 4x4 off its mount. I was in 4 wheel drive due to the deep snow. Im curious if I should have been able to whiskey throttle through my brakes like they werent even there?

No damage to my truck or anything else. We simply popped that 4x4 back in with my trucks tow hitch. Just supper glad no one got hurt or damaged to homes!

I should note i feel a motorized vibration every now and then in my brake pedal. like a pump or vacum motor. I thought i had a hydro boost sytem. So im not sure what that would be!

Glad nobody was hurt!

I know I can push through my brakes pretty easily at the drag strip in 4x4, and i'd think any tuned 6.4 could as well. Especially in a panic situation where you may not of had the brake fully depressed. Bone stock could probably do it as well, but not sure.

That's your ABS system vibrating.

That vibration is not thr ABS. It happens while idling not sure what it might it be.

I hope you tossed those floor mats out.

get weathertechs.

Were the OEM super duty fx4 mats

My OEM mats are behind the back seat. Just sayin.

I don't know how you managed to do that but why are they still in there so you can do it again? Next time you might not be so lucky.

Were the mats clicked in those plastic studs?

weather techs are the poop!!!!

Glad no one was hurt.
When I was 16 I had a 76f100 302 and granny low 4spd. My aunt asked me to go get a gallon of bleach, so I pull in her yard jab it in granny low about the time the jug of bleach flies off the seat on to the throttle. Brakes were useless and I was freaking out, right before I ran through the house I remembered to press the clutch and turn the ignition off... I was young and scared to death, looking back it was a simple fix but at the time it was hard to think about what to do...lol

I almost hit a cow on a dirt road in my 150 due to ****ty floor mats. Never again. Weather techs from now on.

Bumping into neutral isn't a bad idea either
