Bed rattle

[martythill]

Ok. New member here. I just bough a used 2018 ram and my bed rattles. I had the dealer check it out and confirmed the noise. They checked all bed bolts and they are tight. No isolators so it's a metal to metal mount. He also drove a 2021 Ram 1500 and it does the same thing. I think it's because they make vehicles lighter each year so the metal is thinner therefore not as stiff as the older trks. My 2014 Ram never made any noise.

That's odd. None of the Ram trucks I've owned had beds that rattled. All were 1500's with 5'7" beds.

Any chance it’s your spare tire making the noise ?

My 21 Bighorn bed does not rattle.

Tailgate maybe?

My 2019 RAM 1500 Classic had the same issue, box rattling/shakes when you hit a bump. Took it to the dealership this week only to hear that the the 2 back mount bolts had backed off. Paid the bill and called Chrysler, they said that they can't do anything because it's out of warranty........seriously, 2019 and the box mounts backed off????

It has to be either exhaust or gas tank or drive shaft shield that is loose
