I've seen waves of water going both forward and backwards on the hood as described.

No big deal.

Ya No big deal now, but the first time it happened it surprised the hell out of me. Now I sort of think its funny.

Next think you know someone will sue Ford for distracting them with this cool water display on your hood and get into a accident.

It's not like we don't have enough buttons to play with in these trucks as it is. LOL

I'm sure others have noticed this. Has anybody experienced this and then had the problem go away after installing a bug shield? If so, my first "mod" will be a bug shield.
I have a 2013 and it does the same thing. No big deal to me. That's why I have windshield wipers. Just my opinion.

12" blocks on the rear will fix this!

It happens to me all the time also. When it first happened it had rained the night before, imagine the shock when slowing down & all of the sudden it was like somebody sprayed the windshield with a garden hose....lol I can definitely say the aerodynamic engineers did their job....lol

+We have established that it happens/will happen to all of us.
+Seems most say a bug guard won't help while one said it did (I assume it depends on the design of the bug guard and how air flows under one)
+Seems most, myself included, have confirmed the front level of the truck does nothing to change this.
+All agree it will continue to happen so if you are driving in wet conditions, and have water on the hood to be prepared to turn on your wipers if they weren't on already.
