Before you go down the rabbit hole, make sure you empty out the cab of the truck just in case... glovebox, console, behind the rear seat, under seat storage, door bins anything you can conceive of and then have someone else look.

Did you check just below the trailer hitch?

So I should check deez nuts?

He is old, it could be loose "nuts" behind the wheel!!

It would definitely be loose nuts, with an S!
Ah...my FRF brethren engaged in frivolity at @Oldfarts expense!! I should join in but this time I’ll sit this one out.

At first glance...I’d check the shielding on your exhaust downstream of your muffler. I seem to recall others have had a similar noise they traced to the heat shields vibrating against something. Good luck in tracking it down.
If you have a pano roof, lube the seal on both the front AND rear glass seal (I know you have plenty of this, you showed us your barrel). Also check that your jack is secure behind the seat.

No sunroof, I'll have to check the heat shields. It's just enough of a rattle to bug me, I would guess many people wouldn't even notice it. That's why I didn't bother asking the dealer, they'd never hear it.

That's a really good idea, I will definitely do that. I once pulled the entire rear half of the interior out of my V70-R because of a rattle I couldn't find. I ended up finding it was the drivers side hatch lift support had a bushing on one end that was starting to go and it was transmitting the rattle through the roof so you couldn't tell where it was starting from. I must have burned 12 hours finding that damn rattle. :emotions122:

Thanks for the replies, hopefully it's something easy.

I had a cat go bad on my 2019 at 5k miles that needed to be replaced. Sounded like rattles.
