Best case it's a loose exhaust clamp/bolt or worse case it's a broken off piece inside the catalytic converter.

24' xlt fx4 tow package
A little over 1000 miles
Noticed this sound about 2 weeks ago, seems to kick off when i hit bump or take a sharp turn, and continue until i park vehicle. Sounds like tin cans dragging behind me. Nothing dragging on ground or vissibly loose. I dont have a garage and its wet, snowy and zero degrees so i cant really deep dive into it.
I havent done any hard driving at all, mostly just commuting to work in town and maybe 3 short trips out of town.
Dealer cant look into it for 2 weeks yet, but i have an appt.
Wonder if anyone here has any ideas?

Hi Josh! I can look into your Maverick's noise concern on my end. To get started, could you please send a private message over with the name/location of your local Ford dealer and your Maverick's VIN?

I had a buddy who bought a new GTO Judge in the 1970 that had a rattle from day one. We traced it to a RR door and took off the door card and found an empty beer pottle inside. I jokingly asked if his car was "built on a Friday?". He checked; it was built on a Friday! A year later, my buddy and I drove his grandpa to pick up his new Chevy caprice. We drove it back home (30 miles) and stopped at every tavern, so grandpa could show it off. It too had a rattle we traced to the front. Upon arrival at home, we opened the hood and found a GM stamped air wrench tucked into the RR corner of the engine compartment. We both said "SCORE!" and grandpa said, "It's going back to the dealer." Meaning the wrench, not the Caprice. Fudge!

My wife didnt start nagging until i had way more then 1000 miles on her.

Yeah, the magic doesn't last forever, I should have listened to my friends.

I had the exact same sound on a vehicle. It was a BMW R1200 RT motorcycle that I bought new with a second added electric horn. When the dealer mounted the extra horn they failed to use loctite on the nut. It backed off after about 10,000 miles and was left dangling by the wires. While cruising down the X-way I could hear the horn bouncing around but it took a while to isolate the noise. Check for loose items underneath or under hood. Good Luck!

Definitely sounds like a 10 mm socket

Definitely something stuck behind rotor dust shield. Can feel it but too big to come out. I will try sincerely when my wife gets home and share results.
