Hey y'all,

My truck bed (or something that's not the rear window) has been making some weird rattling/squeaking noise almost as if something is loose! I can't make out what the sound is but maybe someone here can help me out. My cousin has clarified that it is NOT the rear sliding window which IS powered when he was riding in the rear of the cab.

I made a video of what is going on (sound on):

It is a 2006 F150 Lariat 4x4 5.4L V3 Triton

Thanks!

Easy. Most, if not all, trucks will do that. I do a lot of off-roading during hunting season and it sounds 100 times worse than that. You have debris around the bed mounting points and/or leaf spring mounts. Whenever I wash I put my pressure washer on those points for a few seconds. Next time I take her out, viola, no more squeaking.

It turns out it was actually a rusted spring on the side when you latch the tailgate. I put some WD-40 on there and it was good to go.
