My 14 made a strange sound in the garage tonight

Pulled in the garage from a quick run to pick up dinner. Jumped out after turning off and heard fluid sloshing around. Thought it was somewhere else my garage as I have a utility room out there, but then I confirmed it was coming from my raptor. Under the middle of the truck. I can rock the truck and hear it slosh, any ideas?

You've got a 36 gallon fuel tank under the truck. Pretty sure that's your sloshing sound. Mine does the same when I shut the truck's doors. You just notice it in the garage because there's less ambient noise.

Yep. Mega Tank.
I've heard it too.

I've put 3000 miles on it now and never heard it before. I just went out again and rocked it - definitely fuel. Weird I hadn't noticed it sooner. Love the Raptor!

Gas Tank

Gas tank for sure, have not seen the design it should have baffles to defect sloshing

I think gas weighs around 7 pounds per gallon that's 252 pounds in a full 36 gallon tank, half would really make a sound like water against the hull of your boat

LOL! I heard it right away as well. I hear it every time I get in and out of the truck in my garage. Something else I noticed, when I close my drivers door the amount of shaking and flexing of the outside door skin. Seems quite flimsy the way it shimmies. Anyone else notice this.

My door does the same thing. I heard that is why they named the street racer a Tremor. It seems even worse in the regular cab that I was checking out at the dealer a few weeks ago.
