Awful sounds coming from my brand new Gen 3

[kaleburks]

Good afternoon everyone, I picked up my new Gen 3 Raptor a couple weeks ago and have fallen in love with it. However, there are a few things that seem to be wrong. Not sure if anyone else is having these problems but every little bump I drive over the bottom of the truck sounds like it’s going to fall apart. Sounds like everything is loose underneath. My rear left shock is making a bad thumping sound every time you compress it in the slightest. Those are the main issues with it. Please let me know if anyone else is experiencing these issues with their Gen 3. Thanks!

Oy boy… You are joking, right?

Clunking sound on Gen 3 too

I picked up my Gen3 last week with 4 miles on the Odometer. Right out of the gate, it has a clunking noise in the front suspension. One of those clunks that is loudest when going over small un-leved road under 40MPH. Sounds like sway bar end links, shock mounts or ball joints. It happens in...

Subtle Clunking

Has anyone else experienced a subtle clunking noise in their Gen 3 when driving slowly over bumpier terrain? My Gen 2 never did this it kind of sounds like my lifted Tundra from way back when!

does this happen on every raptor? just 35 raptor? just 37 raptor? completely random?

My 35 raptor also feels likes it’s going to fall apart when I go over small bumps. It’s not just an isolated area either. The whole bottom of the truck rattles. It makes the truck feel cheap and fragile.

Raptors with clunking and rattles are pretty much totaled. I would recommend going to Carmax or similar alternatives to get rid of them quickly.
