Default Wind buffeting on a 2015

Our Golden loves to ride, and I have to be careful not to say "Truck" too loud when he's around, or he's right out there waiting for me.

Anyway, when he's on board, in the back seat area, of course, I'll open the passenger side rear window for him, so he can grin in the wind.

But the buffeting we get in the cab is terrible! Feels like eardrums are getting ready to burst. I've had this before in other vehicles, but not like this! I used to be able to open the little vent window in the door ... oops -showing my age, or, more recently, just open the driver side window, to reduce the pressure waves. But that can get uncomfortable, and I'm wondering if there's an add-on window shield that might help?

Anyone experience and resolve the same thing?

The wind buffeting is bad in mine as well. I usually open the little slider in the back window or crack the passenger side window.

Nothing funnier than a dogs face flapping around in the wind out of a car window. I did not say "truck" in case he reads this.

My Great Pyrenees loves to "ride" too, I crack open the rear slider window to stop the wind buffeting as she hangs her head out the rear passenger window.
After she rides I have to wash the truck because she has drooled and it has blown back all over the side of the truck.

My truck and my wife's car both have buffeting with either the front two or just the back two down.

If he's in the front, Crack a rear window, or open the slider. Pretty much any vehicle will have buffeting with just one window open, opening another window....preferably in another seat will really help....i.e. if he is in the front passenger, crack the rear driver side window, etc.

I noticed that in the back too, even with both windows opened. In other vehicles I've had, you'd only get it if one window was opened, but with my screw, anything that you do with the back window(s) causes it.

I don't have the slider, that would probably stop it.

But if it's nice enough to have back windows open for any reason, I usually have my drivers window at least cracked anyway.

yep, if you open the rear window you need to crack another window to change the airflow just enough to eliminate the pulsing.

Thanks for the responses! I guess I'll just have to open another window. It seems much worse in the new truck than it did inn our 2011 Scab.
We were driving to AZ a couple of years ago in the '11, and going across NM (in December) I opened the power slider for Sam to poke his nose out for fresh air. Time came to close it, and it wouldn't close. Temp down round 0 and it wouldn't close, stayed open about 4 inches. Dealer in AZ had to replace the window actuator, then the switch (under warranty) before it worked again.
