Is the common driveline "clunk", or something else? (video)

I've seemingly searched and read everything I could find, but I hadn't seen anything on experiencing the driveline clunk while moving from a stopped position, so I figured I would ask the collective gurus.

'19 Raptor crew, 1400 miles. Ever since I bought it, the read end tends to exhibit this odd clunk whenever I first move forward or backwards after shifting from park. Shifting itself is silent and clunk-free, but as soon as the truck moves, it clunks, and only once until next time I shift from park.

I would like to avoid taking it to the dealer if it's normal, so I thought I would seek understanding and try to learn something first.

If I leave the truck in park, and just manually roll it back and forth, it does it. Am I crazy? Is this the normal and much talked-about "clunk"?

THANKS!

I have a brand new 2019 Gen 2 with 1,000 miles, crew cap, mine does not do this. When i first drove it off the lot 2 weeks ago, it was clunking while down shifting when coming to a stop, but the transmission adjusted after about 50 miles and its fine now. I would go get yours checked out.

I have a 2012 and it has done the same thing since the day I bought it. Does it mostly from a cold start. Dealer was supposedly never able to replicate it. It was never fixed and still does it to this day.

Had this exact issue - they made a software update to the transmission and it went away. I didn't believe it would, but it did.
