I have a rattle in my driver’s side window. Only have 1200 miles

My last two trucks (Toyota) were rattle free. One was 10 years old with 160k. They were also about as exciting to drive as a minivan.

I just turn the radio up and floor it.

That's a problem with Ford. My family has always purchased Toyota...and they will go 100k+ with no rattles and squeaks.

Ford's come pre-installed with them. Mine had a bad rattle and food out it was a loose clip under the A-pillar. Fixed that and now there's a squeak that sounds like a cricket under the dash.

Aren’t rattles covered under warranty? I haven’t had any annoying rattles, but I had them in my Mercedes. At 30,000 miles, the dealer replaced half of my center console before realizing it was the center cupholder. If it bothers you, maybe have the dealer fix it?

For the last 15 years I've been buying a new F150 every 2.5-3 years and never had an issue with rattles.
My 92 Bronco is another story. The doors and dash rattle so bad you have to crank the stereo way up drown out the rattles.

Yep, sometimes you miss the easy things. I had a rattle coming from what I could have sworn was from somewhere just behind the rear seat in my Volvo. Ended up pulling the rear half of the interior out and couldn't find it. Finally tried driving it with the rear hatch open and it was gone! It was the drivers side rear hatch lift support bushing. I learned my lesson on how the sound can travel and bounce and really fool you. :banghead:

My Raptor has no squeaks or rattles and neither did my other 2 F-150s. Go ride in any Prius, the amount of squeaks and rattles from the hatch area is unbelievable, never mind the dash rattles. Tundra and Sequoia are bad with interior quality and NVH too, as well as Scions.

Stop drinking the Toyota kool aid; your claim is entirely anecdotal and simply not true.
