Upgrade Your Ford Ranger Parking Brake Boot!

Everyone is pinching pennies, and Ford is no exception. They skimped on the boot for the parking brake in the 5th Gen Ranger, and the factory vinyl boot easily cracks and falls apart in a short time. Replacing it with a much higher quality leather boot is a fast and easy job that any Ranger owner should do.

I won't lie i just ordered this and wasn't expecting a youtube video of it. Thank you so much!

I can't believe that Ford went with such a weak material for this boot. Either they never tested it in cold weather, or they decided that since a lot of people don't use their parking brake, a few warranty claims for replacements would still be cheaper than a slight upgrade to something better.

I completed this upgrade exactly as shown and it went great. 👍👍

I used your video to replace my old cracked vinyl boot with the new leather one from Redline goods. Thank you, Andy!

Thanks for the simple and detailed video. I just ordered my replacement. Like you explained, my Ranger has just over 20k and I just noticed it yesterday. Shame on Ford!

You should have a spoof affiliate link so people can buy Amplify DIY’s Custom Pen Cap Tool (patent pending). A Rick Roll link! 😂 but seriously, it’s really nice that your channel is your own.

Very nice! Will definitely be looking into this. The prices on the website are VERY reasonable!

[teamwiggleworm]

Great video with awesome tips - thank you!

[manuelirusta]

Great video. Steps are very well explained. What colors did you specify with ordering the boot? Both for the leather and thread. I want to stay as close to stock appearance as possible, just like you did. Thanks!

I have a 2019 ranger. Problem I have is reaching down to the coin holder where USB’s are and sometime I hit the 4WD shifting knob. Is there a way to lock it unless you need it???

[the.magnus]

You are so great at explaining things clearly. Ty for making these videos :)

[VitaminChase]

Exactly what I was looking for. Any chance that you know where to get another frame?

[MT-xsfu]

We can't even make a simple tool. Sad.
