Hi Jerry. Not a lot of trimming. Just a small amount from the front plastic/rubber trim. Not even noticeable. Just used a sharpie to draw the line/profile, then used a multipurpose tool to cut along the profile. I had to do it 2 or 3 times (a little bit at a time) because I didn't want to...

Please listen to the short .mov audio clip attached. This noise (which you can hear prominently as I pass by cars on my street with windows down at speeds less than 25 mph) is what my brand new 2022 F150 5.0L truck with now just over 100 miles on it sounds like. Ford Motor Company has...
Thank you for making me feel better. Not many have been able to do that so far through this ordeal. I do know that Ford corporate is aware of the issue. Fingers crossed, maybe they'll come up with some sort of fix to it down the road. I'm glad I brought it back to the dealership and had a...
My brand new 2022 F150 XLT FX4 with the 5.0L engine (less than 140 miles on it now) has the same exact whining sound. Ford has assigned a case number to my issue, and I dropped the truck off at the dealership yesterday. This is not acceptable for a truck I spent this much money on and waited...
I am having the same exact issue with my brand spankn' new 2022 F150 XLT FX4 with the 5.0L engine. When I drove into my work parking lot and passed and a colleague of mine (who owns a Dodge Ram), and he says, "Yo! Is that your new truck making that horrible whining noise", then it's a problem...
I have the same whine on my brand new 2022. I'm in a conversation thread directly with Ford about it. It's an embarrassing sound. Let me know if you ever find a fix, or if the dealer/FORD simply tell you, "That's the way it is".
Just received my 2022 XLT FX4 5.0L V8, less than 100 miles. My only gripe so far and it's a big one, is the funny whining noise from the engine/transmission area that undulates with the engine RPM. Sounds like a belt, but I'm reading up that Ford considers it "Normal" and it's related to the...
I have same exact noise on my brand spankn' new 2022 F150 XLT FX5 with the 5.0L V8 (less than 100 miles on it). This should have never went to production with this noise. Unacceptable. Let me know if there is ever a fix, because to me, this is a design flaw that Ford knowingly let through so...
