almost sounds like the door is creaking. i am going to try and tighten up the door again today.
i have checked the rear seat, good and latched.
all panels around the are seem secure.
I need to sit in the rear seat and have my wife drive me around until i can pinpoint the location

As a soon-to-be-buyer it sucks to hear about the rattles. My 99 F250 is rock solid unless I hit something hard like a deep pot hole. I had an 04 Sport Trac for a few years and it was a barrel of rattles on any kind of road. Turned me off of Fords for a long time. I have my fingers crossed that the build quality of the new F series is better than those cheap Explorer trucks. I can handle one or two rattles but not a rattle bucket.

Rattles why?
Why do the new series of trucks 2015 F150 & up and 2017 Super Duties have so many rattles? Is it design materials or construction?

I have that rattle coming from the passenger rear area. I thought it was headliner. I thought it was seat. With my son riding back there, I had him push on the door panel in the area of the locking tab, and the rattle stopped. I've been able to bang on the door panel with the palm of my hand, and it seems to resolve for a short time. The funny thing is that it sometimes is there, other times is not, yet the panel seems firm.
My thought is that it's a wire/connector under the door panel that sometimes gets in a position to rattle against the panel or door structure. I haven't gone through the effort to remove the panel to check, and not sure if I will.

Nathan,
sounds like my situation
when u say locking tab, do you just mean the lock button or the lock that sticks up through the panel?
i'll have to check hat area.
i think the only way i might be able to find it is to have my wife drive around while i sit back there

2018 f350, my first Ford I like the truck but the rattles are driving me crazy, the rear seat is latched but it rattles so loud on these winter roads.... I’ve pushed on all the panels and headliner and everything you touch makes noise or is set up to rattle. I’ve never had a truck with so many stupid noises. My dodge and chev with 200K didn’t make as much noise. Come on ford what a let down.
