Default Dash and console rattle

I couldn't find another thread on this topic during a moderate effort search, so forgive me if it has already been beaten to death elsewhere. On my 2018 Lariat with less than 6k miles, I have multiple spots on my dash and center console that rattle to the point of nearly driving me mad. I told Ford about it in detail prior to the truck's first service at 5k and their "solution" was to remove my spare sunglasses from the overhead compartment...I wanted to literally punch people for suggesting I'm that stupid. Has anyone else experienced persistent rattling and actually had Ford correct it?

I have the odd creak sound from the radio bezel area over sharp bumps but it’s so odd I don’t worry about it.
Nothing in the Center console tho. I’d take it to another dealer or talk to the service manager then go for a drive with the tech also.
I did have a ticking noise in my left front door panel which I removed and made it silent for the most part.
U may want to pull the radio bezel out and put felt around the bezel where it touches the outter plastic. There is ways going to be the odd creak and click noises in any truck over the odd big sharp bumps, a lot of plastic in them. I hope u figure it out.

If this wasn't a $62,000 truck, I wouldn't complain. Not that I paid $62k, but still... In my 2005 Ranger, I did my own Dynamat job, but it was a $15k truck. My new one does it even over regular roads. If Ford refuses to attempt any real repair, I'll be going to self help route I guess.

Ya trust me I wasn’t happy either that my door clicked on pretty much every small bump was very annoying. I probably spent 10 hours over the last month tracking it down. Ya if they can’t track it down I’d try yourself. My 2005 rav 4 I traded in was solid, so I feel your pain. Hope u get it fixed !
My buddy’s 2018 Silverado 1500 has some creaks and stuff to and it’s brand new so I guess all brands can do this which sucks !

Yeah, my 2015 150 Lariat which was nearly identical to this one didn't rattle at all. It's disheartening.

I was also irritated about this, although I have finally found mine in the plastic around the instrument panel. It bothers me because I had a rebuilt 1979 Bronco that never rattled. I guess more plastics touching in the new trucks makes more noise than plastic on metal of the old trucks.
