Lease is coming Due and I am leaning away from F150
I can't believe my lease is almost up. Currently have an F150 S CREW 4X4 Lariat fully loaded. My three complaints are and the reason I'm considering other trucks is the following:
Twin glass sunroof rattles all the time and Dealer cannot fix it.
Truck rides like a truck. Bumps are aggressive and the road noise louder then when I first bought it.
Truck has an annoying wobble at highway speeds that cannot be corrected per dealer it's a characteristic of the truck.
Well for a truck over 62k it should not have these issues. I did a two year lease so it's almost time.
Thoughts on other trucks ?

Truck rides like a truck? I don't understand that.... My XLT has a nice smooth quiet ride and rides better than my Xterra did, although it was lifted with mudder tires... No moonroof rattling either unless I hit gravel road washboards, but then EVERYTHING rattles anyways... Maybe you got a bad one. Some people end up with issues while others don't. My 2015 is at 91k and has been problem-free since day-1. Take a new F-150 for a test drive and see if you notice any improvements compared to yours. Your dealer (if they're a good one) should be able to let you take it overnight as well, especially if you mention that you're not sure if you want to stick with F-150 or go with another brand.

Good Idea with the overnight. What I mean is it rides like a 20 year old truck when I hit bump. For example if the a water bottle is open and 75% full and I hit a bump water will spill out.

If you're not happy then you should check out other trucks. Hopefully you'll find one that lives up to your expectations as it should. FWIW, my truck and most others do not exhibit the issues you have. Regardless of brand, drive the truck you're going to buy (lease) so you know what you're getting.

hmm that is exactly how my 16 Lariat 502a rides. At times feels like the wheels are wobbling. It does ride like a 20 year old worn out truck. My 14 had a better ride to it.

I've gotten two loaners while my truck was in the shop, a 2017, and 2018, and they both drove more "truck" like than my 2016 Lariat, I feel like this thing rides like a towncar from the 90s, I hate it. Way too soft. The 2017 and 2018 felt much stiffer and sportier. Maybe we need to trade lol.

I guess my Goldilocks option was worth buying, because mine is just right.
