Default Dash Rattle

Anyone have a dash rattle right above the gauge cluster? If I push down on it while driving the rattle goes away. Really hear it on bumpy Canadian pavement, but not at all if you can find a smooth road..

Otherwise I love this truck...

Same rattle. I pulled the cluster out and couldn't find anything that would be rattling. I think it's coming from where some plastic parts of the dash meet and push together with push pins.

Just started yesterday. 200 miles on the truck. Driving down rough, downtown Houston roads to showcase the very plush stock suspension to my SO and there it started. I rapidly began pressing all dash pieces and couldn't get it to stop!!!

Mines in to be corrected... However, I aired up the tires just 2-3 psi, and the rattle subsided. Try airing up the tires to see if it makes a difference. It changes resonant frequency a bit I guess...

My drivers side door handle rattles on the inside.. Found an easy solution. If I pull the handle ever so slightly it stops. Put a credit card (or equivalent) in that void it creates and it stops it.. So I cut the card in half and slid it in so I can't feel it when I put my hand in when opening the door and boom! All gone. Stupid fix I know, can't really blame Ford for rattling from bass, so I'll take it.

Solved. It was an unused connector that was not secured in place. It was bouncing around..
