    I've noticed my tailgate rattles when going over bumps. Very minimal but the truck is new, seems to be isolated to one side. Only noticeable with windows open. Anyone else have this issue?

    Mine makes noise also. It is most likely the passenger side. The hinge design is partially open for installation and removal of the tailgate. There is another thread on this if you search. Some members put a zip tie or other band around the tailgate part of hinge so it won’t rattle over bumps. Definitely search for the other thread if you want to learn more.

    You wouldn't have a trailer hitch installed by chance? That will rattle alot. You can install some foam on the bed / tailgate to eliminate the noise, i have it installed from the tonneau cover seal kit, the only negative thing is you have to give the tailgate a small bump to for the latch to open.

    I have a hitch mount buy nothing in it. I definitely hear it on the passenger side of the truck as indicated by the previous post. I was also thinking the same as you suggested. Thanks for the info.
