Parts for your 2014 Ford Territory-Pedal pads

2014 Ford Territory pedal pads: what they do and how to look after them

Based on the Ford Territory SZ Series (2011–2016) workshop manual and Ford’s electronic parts catalogue (Microcat), the 2014 Ford Territory is fitted with serviceable pedal pads. The brake pedal uses a removable rubber pad, and models with a foot-operated parking brake have a rubber pad on that pedal too. The accelerator pedal face is typically an integral plastic pad as part of the pedal assembly, not a separate rubber cover. So pedal pads are definitely relevant on this model.

On a 2014 Territory, pedal pads do a deceptively important job. That grippy rubber surface keeps the driver’s boot planted on the pedal in the wet, on gravel, or when hopping in with a bit of mud from a worksite. It’s simple safety: a non-slip pedal face helps maintain consistent pedal feel and reduces the risk of a foot slipping at a bad moment. The materials are designed to be slightly compliant, with a patterned face that channels away moisture and grit.

Servicing-wise, the brake pedal pad (and the parking brake pedal pad where fitted) should be checked at each service. There’s no set interval, they’re replaced on condition. If the rubber goes shiny, hard, cracked, or the pattern wears flat, it’s time. Replacement is straightforward: the old pad is pried off the metal pedal plate, and the new one is worked on from one edge, ensuring it’s fully seated all around. A warm pad is more pliable and easier to fit. Stick with genuine or quality aftermarket pads that match the original profile and thickness for proper pedal feel.

• Signs it needs replacing: smooth or glossy surface, cracks, curled edges, reduced thickness, or any pad movement on the plate.
• Care tips: clean with mild soapy water, avoid silicon dressings or greasy cleaners, make sure floor mats can’t creep under the brake pedal.

Note for owners: the accelerator pedal face on the Territory is part of the pedal module. If it’s damaged or excessively worn, the remedy is usually replacing the pedal assembly rather than a slip-on pad. After any pad replacement, always do a firm static pedal press to confirm the pad is secure before heading off.

Does the 2014 Ford Territory have removable pedal pads?
Yes. The brake pedal has a removable rubber pad, and models with a foot-operated parking brake have a removable pad on that pedal. The accelerator pedal face is integral to the pedal assembly.

How often should pedal pads be replaced?
There’s no fixed interval, they’re replaced on condition. Have them checked at each service and replace when the rubber is cracked, shiny, hard, or the tread pattern is worn flat.

Can aftermarket metal pedal covers be used in Australia or New Zealand?
They can be used if they’re secure and provide a non-slip surface that doesn’t reduce effective pedal area. For road cars, rubber-faced or OEM-style covers are usually the safest bet to meet safety expectations and inspection requirements.
