Mine started squeaking this winter. The squeaking went away several months later. During this time the Raptor never got washed...it lived outside in the desert.

Anybody have a update? Some grease or spray that has worked? I cleaned mine the other day, good for a few. No it is making noises again. It was quite during winter.
jack up the truck at the hitch to create gap in the spring , spray fluid film or same. all done

Thanks, was just thinking/listening to mine the other day, thinking what to use on them next. I will give fluid film a go. Have tried many others.

Less than 4K on my 2020 and after a trip this weekend it’s squeaking like a stuck pig. Hopefully a good wash addresses the issue.

I can tell ya this- my 2018 I put 35k on it never squeaked at all, but I doused the undercarriage 2x w/ amsoil HDMP including the rear leafs

My 2020 has only 3k miles now & I already noticed some squeaking/creaking from leafs when standing inside the bed or on the running boards, went through car wash & it went away

in spring when it’s warmer out I guess I’ll give the 2020 the same amsoil treatment (& paint the rear diff/axles in rustoleum black) - i didn’t do it this time when brand new a) b/c I bought it in late November & b) the newer truck has a much thicker more durable looking/feeling coat on the frame/undercarriage than the thin matte finish coating that was on my 2018

I say hit the leafs up w/ some of that amsoil HDMP or another heavy duty long lasting penetrating lubricant of your choice
