I noticed my truck, a guy on youtube and the truck I drove at Raptor Assault all had some wind noise on the driver's side window. Now that I notice it it's driving me crazy...

Anyone else have these issues? Any solutions?

Yeah, I noticed it too, but it's not that bad. Those side mirrors are the size of small laptops, so there's a bit of wind disruption. ;-)

Wind noise is common on the aluminum bodied 13th gen trucks. The door fitment has been below par over all. Lots of uneven horizontal gaps and uneven "in/out" type gaps as well. Some guys adjust the hinges, some add surgical tubing inside the rubber molding, most just live with it. It's worst at highway speeds with strong crosswinds.

I was considering a 13th gen truck and the waves in the metal around the door handles when you look down the side of the truck was a big turn off for me. Seemed like Ford didn't have the aluminum stamping process correct yet. Maybe next time around Ford will get it right.

Noticed this on my Gen I about three years ago.

Yeah I know this is not helpful.

All 5 that I've driven have the same noise, very obvious once you get north of 55

Alright you guys are making me second guess I'm hitting the highway shorty and I'll post if it does make noise.

80+ and crosswinds are where I get it. Just completed 3 hour drive at 75mph, no wind noise.
