second this, it dropped considerably once I got those. Now I have power boards so I don’t need to worry as they drop much lower than the normal ones sit!

The NOISH app should be great for measuring wind noise in different trucks.
my 18 limited is much louder than my 16 XLT sport. I think it’s just the difference between 18” hankooks and 22” pirellis it sounds like wheel noise to me.

plus I need to get the driver door adjusted, I have that awesome squeak and wiggle over bumps like it’s out of alignment

JK of course. Man, that would be a headache to deal with...especially in bad weather...early in the morning...with traffic. I know there are known latch issues, but I thought that was only on the supercab, not the crew.
Classic frozen door latch issue. At least you were able to open the door in the first place. Usually they freeze so hard you can even get in the vehicle. then when you do the latch wont catch, when that happens you can try holding the door closed and manually locking via the door pin, let it warmup longer with the door cracked so it gets some warm airflow, use the tried and true bungee cord until it thaws out. PS the bungee cord should not be used on doors with small children next to them, or at least don't tell their mom about it does not end well for you. Usually start with mom guess what dad did today and ends with a couch being involved.

I've had my truck for about 6 weeks, 4k miles, I am having a couple of issues, 1) I can't hear and they can't hear me on some calls, it doesn't matter if it's from an Iphone, samsung or at&t or t-mobile or verizon. if I switch from bluetooth, I can continue with the call without any problems, pick back up on bluetooth, dead silence, next call (even from the same caller) works fine. 2) one of the park aid backup sensors goes crazy when it rains, it triggers even though there is nothing withing 10ft.
Other than that and the sluggish shifting in the morning, extremely happy with the truck

I was having the same thing with my truck on the passenger side rear corner. The truck didn't begin doing it until it had close to 10,000 miles, then suddenly started doing it whenever there was moisture. I had it happen several times, and real consistently - if it was raining or freezing with slight moisture, the sensor was a solid tone. Nothing appeared to have been unseated, and I had tried pushing on it and lightly banging on it to see if something had come loose, but did not think that was the case. I finally got out and banged on it pretty hard with my fist, and it hasn't happened since.

I am going to take it to the dealer for the first oil change (free) and have them look at it if not, I'll bang it like you said. Thanks

If yours is the same as mine and a couple other guys. It turned out to be the chrome trim around the cup holder.

I pulled out the console and just put a couple of drops of 3-1 oil at the creaky points on the underside. Not enough so that I could smell oil, just one drop here and there.
Some put a little superglue. Either way it hasn't squeaked or creaked since.

Default Check engine Light flash

Came across this forum wanted to check with some of y’all, 7,000 miles on my 2018 and this morning got a flashing check engine light and also my truck was skipping. It was saying number 5 was misfiring, worries me to think what caused that in such a new truck

A few of us here have had to replace the fuel injectors, their is a tsb about it. My CEL came on at 6,000 and started misfiring and bucking.

Flashing means don't drive it.
