f150 screw wind vibration
Metwith Ford zone rep .according to Ford the bad noise and vibration with windows down @60 mph is a design characteristic. Pinto had one of those. How many people have experienced this problem?

On My Screw, when the rear windows are open and not the Front, there is quite the Air disturbance, it hurts your ears. (my daughter like the windows open)
Same thing occurs on my wifes Jeep Liberty.
I usually just open the front windows also. and it much less.
But the WInd messes up the wifes hair.

Vibration causing a reverberation in Cab ?
I believe what's going on is between 40 and 60 I can feel a mechanical vibration, seems worse with a balanced throttle, I believe that this is setting up a resonance or reverberation in the cab when the windows are down, and You get what sounds like a subwoofer going off in the cab, also You can feel a vibration in the steering wheel and to a smaller effect in the seat.. ocasionally I get a simaler vibration just before stopping.
the truck has less than 700 miles on it and most of that was highway where this problem doesn't occur, so I'm still nailing it down when it does it and when it doesn't..
I was at the dealer and they were trying to say that it was wind buffeting, and that they were going to contact a problem resolving specialist or something like that, plus a couple of engineers.

F150 screw wind vibration
All tires have been replaced with top of the line tires still a vibration .Some time in the future a technical expert wil come to drive it. MY FORD dealer is Great. They are as anxious to fix the problem as I am. The problem is the truck not the dealer.After the truck is sold Ford has to authorise the buy back.

IMO these trucks are getting so far advanced that they no longer handle properly. I'm tremendously disappointed in how my '02 handles over 70mph. Looks like it's just going to be an 'around town' truck and I'll keep using my '94 Ranger for road trips- it handles better and is quieter at 75-80 mph. What a disappointment after spending $20K on a truck. 
Yesterday I raised the tire pressures from 30 lbs to 38 lbs (6 ply tires, 44 lb max pressure) which helped handling and noise at lower speeds. But over 70 and it's scary bad.

Is this thread still going? Talk about winers are us. This characteristic I found the first day I test drove the truck! Do I care- H-ll No. Should you?? Well if you just now are figuring it out- you deserve the so called nusiance. Filling up my email box with rubash- thats what this thread is doing and that is all it's doing.
