Shake, shutter and rock and roll

[Keshka]

Headed out of town today with only the rear windows down. I have encountered wind buffet harmonics in many other vehicles but the Raptor takes it to another level! When I hit 60+ mph it was so bad the entire cab shook. Steering wheel was shaking and I though something was about to explode! When I say shook I mean visible vibrations! Holy cow bat man!

Note to self: don't do over 40 with the back windows down!

Is it possible it was death wobble? Can't say i've tried just the rear windows down yet to confirm the buffeting.

I think they all do that. My 2017 did it. My 2021 does it. Freaks the dog out a little.

Um steering wheel shake means you're not centered and riding one of the lines.... lmao

Mines not so bad....I have rear windows open halfway with the little rear window open... no issues.

But if I'm going to drive on the highway (65-90 mph) I close them all.

But I avoid driving with windows open as I'm still enjoying that new car smell.... lol

Do those wind deflectors work?

True, open the back window changes the situation enough to stop it. Sunroof works too. Not centered? Well how was I going to door tag that dude with a walker on the other side of the street for 10 points?

Buffet harmonics? Does that mean it tells you where the nearest Golden Corral is?!

Do you go looking for dumb things to do so that you can complain? Seems like you complain a lot about trivial stuff. This would be a good example.

opening the rear slider helps a bunch.

In my Gen 2, if I opened the sunroof, the buffeting was terrible when traveling 40 MPH or so. Cracking open the rear sliding window would instantly solve it.
