Default Hood Question

Is it just me or has anyone else that went from a 10-14 F150 to a 15+ F150 find that there is more movement in their hood while driving?

Notice nothing on mine, rock solid. I have read of hood shaking or movement on early 2015's but do not recall how it was address.

Yes, there are several out here who have noticed it. I think most cured it by adjusting the screw-out bumpers to put a little upward pressure on the closed hood. I haven't done it to mine personally, but I plan to.

Mine stays put, but adjusting the screw-out bumpers sounds like a good idea.

My hood does not move, but my brothers truck did have this problem. I solved it by doing exactly what sixshooter14 just wrote. Unscrew the rubber bumpers on whichever side moves most to apply a little bit of pressure to the hood.

When driving into strong winds on the highway, yes, especially when you're on a 2-lane and then an 18-wheeler passes going the opposite direction. Rubber bumpers don't help. The movement is actually the hood bulging up a bit from all the air going into the engine compartment. The only cure would be to cut out some hood vents towards the rear to let the pressure out.
