Thank you for the suggestion Jerome10. I think I narrowed it down to the faux wood trim on the door panel. That is the worst creaking area but I have another on the plastic trim area around the window controls. Hopefully I can figure a fix out for these areas.

I had a 2009 F-150 that had zero creaks in the cab. My 2023 developed a creak/rattling sound 2 weeks after purchase. It's located either on the right side of the dash or in the door. I cannot narrow it down and it drives me absolutely crazy. I tolerate it but must admit it's rather embarrassing to spend the money that was spent on this truck and have to listen to that constantly especially when having friends traveling with me

My SuperCab driver side door rattled a little bit so I tightened the hinge strike plate to suck the door in tighter and that solved it. My A-pillars both rattled badly when cold so I removed them and put Tesa tape between the base of the A-pillar and dash and over the alignment tabs and they seem quiet now. No more plastic on plastic now.

I took my truck to the dealer and they said unfortunately, it's a bad design from Ford and there's nothing they can do about it. It's frustrating to think a 80k truck can squeak and creek like an old Buick and we're told to just live with it. I'd like to turn the truck back in and move on from it.

Hello. I am not able to do this. How can I contact you regarding this?
Were you able to DM them per their instructions. I attempted to DM them using the instructions that they provided to you and get the message that I can't DM them.

Ford is no longer monitoring the account on here. Not that they ever really did any good in the first place. All the Ford reps did was open a customer care case for you and on rare occasions would call you and the dealer about the issue/repair. For the vase majority of people who tried sending their info to the Ford account it ended up being a waste of time.

I have a creak noise where you grab the interior door handle area. If my knee rests against the door, it makes it worse. I haven't found any way to remedy the creaking noise.
[/QUOTE. Besides another annoying creaking coming from either the right side of my dashboard or as I have seen posted, from behind the black plastic piece that conceals the screws for the sideview mirror, I do believe that I have found the source of creaking sounds in the front armrests.
I am experiencing the same issues when my knee or a passenger's knee makes contact with the armrest. After looking at the armrest closely, I noticed where it changed from the faux leather to the black plastic leading towards the switches there is a gap in two places.
When you grab the door handle tight in that area the sound does disappear but any slight contact and it will creak like crazy. It's seems as though there are two tabs that are either broken internally or not engaging properly.
I will be checking with my dealership to see how this will be handled.

Sorry for the mistake in replying to bcb97, regarding the armrest creaking. The long response with the picture was my reply.

The creaks in my drivers door are driving me nuts. I'll be thinking twice about getting another Ford after I'm done with this one...

It reminds me of an old 80s VW. Those were garbage interiors.

They still were in the 90's-current. Had two VW GTI's and both while mechanically amazing were literal rattle traps inside. Same for every Dodge I have ever been in.

Did you ever find a fix to this? Thanks!!
