The passengers side is where mine got so bad. Right up to the windshield. The rest of it is no where near this bad.
I think it must start on front drivers side go down and up on the passenger's side and stop at the windshield. The stopping part may be where it has it's biggest problem.

Love my truck, except 1 thing is bugging me, It does not want to drive straight,
If on outerside of highway it pulls to the right (road crown) so always pulling back on steering. so then if go in fast passing lane, it pulls to the left. Thought was maybe alignment as pulling to the right, but if it then pulls to the left in the other lane, What could it be? Could it be because of the wider tires, and just a normal thing due to the road crown.
Do your f150's drive straight when you let go of the wheel? As I did a test with my F350 on same roads and it does not do this, It rolls along pretty straight on the same roads. Nor did my 2009 F150. But their tires were not as wide as these Goodyears.
Will bring her into the dealership I guess, As it is the only item that is bugging me, But it is very tiresome thing always pulling back on the wheel either way.

I was coming out of the woods on a single lane jeep trail with a 12 degree slope. The trail had been a crusty snow pack consistency going in. It had been above freezing all night and the snow had now turned to glare ice. I tried going down as slow as possible. I had my foot buried in the brake peddle, but the ABS (auto pulsating) brake feature did not work. The tires broke loose and the truck bounced off both banks all the way down like it was a 2 1/2 ton pin ball. Thankfully both banks were heavily snow covered and I did no damage. The truck is going in the shop on Thursday.

Did the truck skid on the ice or would the brakes not hold it? I drive on ice all the time and abs is only so smart and can show issues. A lot of the time on ice you can hit the brakes and the truck thinks it has come to a rest as all 4 brakes hold all 4 tires stationary because there limited friction between the tires and the ice. Therefore the abs doesn't initiate and away you go.
I wonder if hill decent would have worked in this scenario as you would not have applied the brakes.

Alright I have now been the proud owner of my truck now for 2 months. The only real thing that I'm disappointed in is all the wind noise. I keep checking to see if I have a window cracked open. It drives me nuts. And what really bothers me is that I have test driven the new Chevy and GMC pickups and they are unbelievably quite! No wind noise what so ever!!! Why can't Ford build a quite truck. When telling the dealer about it all they would tell me is to turn the radio up, jokingly but still not for almost 60k. It should be better at handling wind noise than this. Anyone else notice the wind noise?
