Sorry to hear you're having so much trouble.
If you're mechanically inclined and care to dig into it, it looks like 10 screws to remove the inner tailgate cover and take a peek.
I'd be interested in seeing some pictures and share what you find.

This is the first vehicle I’ve never changed my own fluids and spark plugs on. I make decent money and value my time, I just pay someone to do things like that now.

I took delivery of the truck at night and I’m not one to be really picky about body lines and panel alignment… I did t notice how bad it actually was till down the road. I still don’t really care it’s just not a sign of decent quality control. Almost every panel is out of whack somewhere…

And so the saga continues…..??
I’ve been trying to figure out this rattle coming from the back of the truck… I thought it was the E brake cable junction so I zip tied all the lines tight… Didn’t work..
so I come out of work and as I’m going around the back of the truck I see muffler packing hanging out of my tail pipe… so I pulled it out and I could hear metal in the pipe. Behold… the rattle. So I cut the tail pipe off to see if I could fish the piece out and this was what I discovered…
A portion of the perforated steel in the resonator rotted and broke off falling into the tail pipe with a big chunk of packing.
I can’t believe this happened already. It’s a 2021! I’ve never had an exhaust fail on anything in all the truck I’ve had.
Something tells me my extended warranty won’t cover this.

That’s one heck of a drive, especially with a trailer - give us a wave as you pass by Onterrible.
You and @Canadian Ranger will be Amsoil neighbours!

So I went out this morning and the rest of the packing came out…. I had a 10 ft string of it flapping g behind me on the highway… lol
I got home and fished the rest out and welded on the piece I cut off last night into a rear exit turn down. Sort of an off road style. This allowed me to do my spring cleaning of the spare and a quick rust spray in spots.
That will do for now.

Mine is a 2019 Lariat and has never been to the shop for mechanical misfunctions, just normal maintenance and (abnormal) modifications. I'm not bragging, I know it is just dumb luck...

It looks like you ran over Cruella deVille and spit her out your exhaust. ?So I went out this morning and the rest of the packing came out…. I had a 10 ft string of it flapping g behind me on the highway… lol
