Just a bit of info here -- I have a 21 platinum's passenger seat and inside the top of it at the headrest is a mass dampener made of hard rubber and it's on a rather flexible mount. I have other seats as well and didn't see it in there (22+). This may have been deleted in 22 and up trucks.

Don't bother with the Ford email. Step one. Locate and remove all loose items. It may be the back that is rattling, equally as I found out on another brand of vehicle, it could be loose bolts holding the seat to the floor. There are usually components and wiring under the seat as well.

PS: Just don't suggest to your wife that she broke the seat. That might not be appreciated.....

Here's what I found in a 21 platinum's pass seat....

It's the little mass dampener. Couldn't find a part number for it. Not sure if anyone has seen them in other years or not.

Did you ever locate this problem? I have a new 2023 for only 2 weeks and have this same problem now

I ended up putting the passenger seat portion all the way down. When it is in the lowest position the noise goes away. I did see a TSB out for seat noise on the 2021's which I assume would apply to the 2022's since the seat is the same. It involved clamping sections of rubber hose on the rails under the seat to stop the noise. I have not had time to try this. For now my short term fix is just putting the seat all the way down.

Mine has the exact same noise - they did that bulletin - did not change anything - the rattle comes and goes based on seat position - If you put pressure on the seat back it stops but I'm experiencing the same thing in my 21. The dealer hasn't been great at rattle fixing. My truck has been a shit show since the beginning - 3 days in the transmission blew up and it was in the shop for a month or so - since then I've had axle bolts fail, rattles out the ass, weather strips fall off, axle bolts loosen up and need tightening, blown speakers, and more rattles. I love the truck but what a nightmare.

Wow. That is ridiculous laundry list that’s just plain wrong

For those with the seat rattle, check to see if the seat's raise and lower function have it all the way down. The front lift part doesn't matter, but the rear part does.

Interesting I thought I messed with that but will give it another try see what happens

exactly, if I put the seat all the way down sound goes away.

Mine suddenly started doing this today. Anyone find the cause? If I hit the seat back, it feels like something is loose in it while the driver's seat feels much more solid.

Haven't found anything but I noticed that it happens when it is colder (could be a random and stupid observation) and it doesn't happen all the time. Annoying as hell.

...and now it hasn't done it for two days. Hoping it was a one time fluke!

I hope it was but I suspect it wasn't. I have periods of times where I don't hear it.
