“Wind” noise but quiet

[IdahoRanger]

Not mine. My wife hates all the background road noise in the call when I call her from the Ranger and hears none when I call from the Forester. Was your Forester a 2022?

No, it was old. 2013

Very quiet inside, hear no wind at all. Even with open tonneau cover no noise.
Also it’s really comfy.
Only thing, if windows closed, I need to pull the door with strength to get it closed. So I open a window a little to get air moving a bit and the door closes easily.

Do the overseas Rangers have the vent at the back of the cab?

The fact you have to muscle the doors says it doesn't.

And your lack of wind noise makes me guess I'm right about the culprit.

I wonder if my Ranger was made on a Wednesday? It is rather quiet even at highway speeds, with little wind noise. The ride smooth, and isn't choppy or bouncy.

Part of the ride noise are the tires. Mine are Michelin LTs, which are much quieter than the stock Bridgestones.

My mag mount ham radio antenna is right above the driver side rear passenger. You can hear it "sing" at about 68mph.

I am curious also.

Any issues with sealing that vent?

As far as I know all trucks have them, no?
The dealer told me the cabin is very sealed and it takes more muscle to close the door.

Out of curiosity if Ford has cut corners on my 2022 I took down the back rest. I can feel 2 spots what can be vent locations. The back rest itself is in one piece and tight against cab back wall, actually I don’t wonder they don’t work so effectively for door closing air pressure relief. I’m no expert but probably need to keep eye on moisture and mold not appearing there during winter.
The truck has also aerodynamic arch behind cab, that reduces wind noise.

That is a great looking truck, Kristina. The accessories really make it look beefy, this is what I am planning for mine as well, plus a set of fender flares and a bit larger tires.

Not something I would do, personally.

Not sure.

On our models here there is a pull tab to pull that back rest forward.

If there is a vent and the backrest is immovable, you're probably right.

I can pull it down.
