Well. You won’t believe this. Popped the hood to look for other possible culprits. Noticed my air filter box cover wasn’t on properly. Tech that checked the filter an oil change or two ago didn’t get it put back on securely. Not 100% sure this is it/the only thing that was rattling, but it didn’t do it on my test drive after I locked it in correctly and it sounded like what I’m hearing. Makes sense too with the differing winds entering the air intake.

I hope that's the fix for you, but mine is attached securely with no rattles so it isn't my issue.Well. You won’t believe this. Popped the hood to look for other possible culprits.

Man that sucks. I taped a couple wiring harness that rattled really bad when I jiggled them. They are up under the drivers side dash to the left the pedals, but I’m 95% sure the noise was originating from outside the cabin, so don’t think the harnesses were it.

Damn man. I telling ya though. Your sounded just like mine. Recheck that mirror. Guy at ford said he's seen a few like mine from the mirror.

This is 100% the sound my truck makes under acceleration, it is mechanical. Did you find a fix. My raker in Dothan al told me I’m out of options.

I THINK IT MAY BE THE METAL CONTROL ARM VIBRATING THAT IS TO THE LEFT OF THE BRAKE PEDAL, look in your floorboard and see if it rattles by hand!!!
It is possibly the metal control arm to the left of the brake pedal look in your floorboard & shake it by hand
look in your driver floor and look to the left of the brake pedal you will see a metal bracket thing it’s loose/defective causing rattle

I haven't taken it to them yet. The only fix in my eyes is replacing the mirrors but it's obviously a design flaw. Problem is I have PPF on my mirrors, I doubt ford would pay to have that redone.

If anyone is still following or comes across this thread searching:
I now have 4 successful drives with no rattle. Haha. The rattle had become more persistent and I noticed it more often when driving over bumps than I had before. I was under the hood taping and zip tying things I thought it could still be, loose wiring harnesses, plastic cable tube, etc and I accidentally put my hand on the drivers side hood bumper. Sounded exactly like the rattle. Plastic on metal. Drivers side bumper was lower than the passenger side, so I raised it to the same height as the drivers side so the hood puts more pressure on it. I also zipped tied both sides to make sure they don’t move at all even with the extra hood pressure. I suspect the drivers side bumper was a little low and rattling with differing airflow under the front of the hood and it may have loosened (its threaded to raise/lower it) over time which is why I was hearing it more often and over bumps recently.
Now just have to figure out a fix for my shuddering transmission in 8/9/10 gear and the stinky silicone type smell from the A/C vents sometimes at startup after my truck has been parked with A/C on at shutoff…then I’ll be happy with my truck.

Definitely going to try this. This would make sense since it seems to be influenced by wind!If anyone is still following or comes across this thread searching:
