Default Hating to love this truck!

Im seriously thinking of trading this truck in..I'm super disappointed..bought a new truck so i didn't have to deal with fixing it or having to go to a dealer all the time and it seems thats what i got my self into... Its a 2013 xlt scab..3,000 miles right now. This cab is so noisy i can hear peoples convos on the car next to me on top of that its so shaky i cant even put my head on the headrest.this is getting annoying as hell..now sorry for the rant but i expected better..i love the look of the truck but those two things are getting to me..any advice you guys can give me or past experiences on similar issues before i take it to the dealer would be appreciated..

That's odd. My 2013 is the quietest and smoothest vehicle I've ever owned

I had really bad vibration issues with my 13 fx4. Turns out it was my tires being out of balance. They are the 20 inch scorpions. Dealer balanced them all and I have been good for almost 15000 kms. Truck was vibrating from the day I drove it off the lot.
Can't help you on the cab noise....my cabin is quite quiet in terms of outside noise. Now the odd rattle and squeaks I have are another story.

Good luck.

17,000 miles on a 13 Lariat came with stock 20" Bridgestones. Very quiet and smoothest truck I've ever owned...no vibrations at all. Tires are wearing well and work great in snow. Most production tires blow, but these are pretty good.

Not what you want to hear but my 2010 is pretty dang quiet but I plan on adding sound deadening mat to doors, roof, floor and back of cab just because.

It will help a lot and if you have some time and a couple hundred it's easy to do.
