Only rattle in mine is the cam phasers on start up. :jester:

Be here all week...try the veal.

At least those will be fixed under warranty as soon as the backordered parts get in. I do have a very high-pitched squeak from the back...can only hear it when the back slider is open. Sounds like a bed to frame bolt or something back under there somewhere...good luck finding that one when not in motion!

I suppose I could hook up mics and move them around until I find it, but it’s not that bad, and I only open the window to say hi to the pups when they’re riding in the back.

The high pitch squeal from the rear is your tailgate. Open it and shut it and it should stop, but it will quickly come back. Not exactly sure what the issue is, but all F-150s have the same issue. My old '14 F-150 have the same issue.

I bought my SCAB new in May 2017. Never noticed a door rattle. Maybe I got lucky. Just a rattle from the center console which I suspect is the cable I ran for the head unit of my ham radio.

It’s not a light buzzing. You would know.

20K on a 2018 SCAB over 4000 miles of Baja dirt. + springs and shocks so a bit firmer ride than stock. Still silent. Try taking the harmonic counter weight off the D/S rear frame rail and mount it dead center on the overhead. I'll bet that helps.
Hey seriously any of you guys with the rattles have a glass roof? I do not.

My screw bed squeaks like crazy but I can only hear it when I open the rear window slider. Music gets turned up and it dissipates.

I’m going to have to investigate my door to figure out what you’re getting at.

No I do not have a sunroof. Do any scabs have the sunroof?

It definitely isn't the sunroof, or offroad induced. I'm fairly certain it is the exterior trim squeaking, as when the wind hits the truck as certain angles is when I hear it. The sound is ear level. It also seems like it could be seat belt clip, as holding that still also seems to fix it.

I thought my bed was squeaking but it turned out to be the latch/strike on the tailgate. Greased it and it went away. Not sure if you're getting the same squeak though.
