Should have been titled "150 miles and I'm already complaining".Boo Hoo - as someone that has a Youtube Channel - If you cant stand some folks commenting in a negative way then you shouldn't put it out there. That's part of it.

Really- hahaha , when you title a video "150 miles and problems already" and add - WTF to it it makes is seem a bit like click bait ..........Should have been titled "150 miles and I'm already complaining".
I may have laughed a little too loudly, now my coworkers are looking at me funny lol.Dash rattles? *laughs in Subaru*
Of course he's complaining. He just bought a new vehicle that's defective with an issue that goes back to at least builds from October of 2021 (mine).Should have been titled "150 miles and I'm already complaining".
That's one way to put it...In my 63 years on this earth I’ve always brought middle to low end vehicles because vehicles just don’t last so I believe that they are not worth the contract they are written on, and they have always had some kind of burp, fart, knock, vibration, cat scratch noise in them. So by listening to your insignificant whining it makes me laugh. It’s a mother f****ing truck made to be abused so maybe next time by a $100,000 truck so you won’t get the dreaded noise.
I will give the guy a break - it's a new truck, we all hope it will be perfect. Though seldom anything ever is. I wish they would fix the Hybrid Shudder on my truck - I doubt they will. I read that tuning the transition between hybrid to ICE was tricky. I assume they didn't get it right and - frankly not sure they will fix mine. I assume they will fix the new ones.Of course he's complaining. He just bought a new vehicle that's defective with an issue that goes back to at least builds from October of 2021 (mine).
Maybe I'll just go get a "23 F-150"... At least they're made in America with about 60% US-made parts...
It's really hard to compare prices of cars from different eras... That '71 Nova (which with a $3100 price tag would have been a pretty heavily optioned model - my '71 Maverick price was a whisker under $2,000) would not have had air bags, anti-lock brakes, traction control, stability control, front wheel drive (or all-wheel drive), anti-theft features, backup cameras, and a host of other features that are standard on everything today.As far as rattles our roads are decent around here so haven't heard any thing yet, some people have said its a cheap truck but ours were over $36K and considering my 1st new car a 1971 Chevy Nova was $3100 seems like a lot of money to me LOL man have times changed back then I was making big money around $150 a week
Seem like click bait?Really- hahaha , when you title a video "150 miles and problems already" and add - WTF to it it makes is seem a bit like click bait ..........
FYI Inflation makes $3,000 in 1970 equivalent in purchasing power to about $23,042.01 today.It's really hard to compare prices of cars from different eras...

What would a '71 Nova have cost with those features added? Who knows, since most of those technologies were not available at any price back then...
But I think most of us responding to the OP's initial video would have liked to hear him say "I've got it scheduled to go to the dealer for the known repair" than to hear a lengthy diatribe about how that little squeak is destroying his enjoyment of his Maverick, but he wasn't going to pursue the one known fix to his issue.
I've owned Mercedes, Audi, Ford, Chevy, Chrysler, Plymouth, Dodge, Mazda, Kia, VW, and many other vehicles. Exactly NONE of them were totally issue-free, even on initial delivery. All but ONE of them, however, had those initial issues resolved by the dealer within a reasonable amount of time.
The one exception was a Dodge Grand Caravan whose AC system would blow hot air whenever the air conditioner was turned on. I'm not talking "room" or "outside-air" temperature, but HOT as in "the same temp as the coolant" hot. After seven (7!) trips to two different Dodge dealership service departments with zero corrective action, a Dodge factory tech was dispatched to look at it. He found the "mixing plenum" had been initially installed incorrectly at the factory, which had caused it to warp slightly, which in turn caused the "air mixing flapper" (or something close to that - it's been a few decades) to become "stuck" in the "full hot" position. No matter how hard the AC ran, no cold air was being allowed into the system - only the hot air from the heater core that is intended to "blend" with the cold air to maintain your desired temperature. Two weeks later, after a new plenum assembly was ordered and installed, we finally had a working AC. Just in time for November in Houston...
