Noise from rear cab/bed area?
Whenever I hit a bump in my 2012 F250 Supercab I hear a noise coming from either the rear of the cab and/or the bed area like something is loose and banging and squeaking as if a body panel isn't fully secured. However, I've poked around quite a bit back there and haven't found anything that seems obviously loose. Could it be something on the underside like a skid plate or heat shield? The truck did come with an aftermarket back rack, but that seems pretty secure as well.

Spare tire?

are your rails attaching the truck bed to the frame rotted out?
they come pre-rusted from the factory, so... |

Shocks may be loose. Happened to me - top bolt in the rear driver’s side shock fell out. Took me about six months to figure out where the thumping was coming from |
It could be a thousand things.. Spare tire was a good one.. Bed bolts, U-Bolts, Exhaust, etc etc
Get it on a lift and check it out.. |
Check between the bed and cab for foreign objects. I had a piece of wood fall in between that was causing some rattles...

A rubber mallet banging around under the truck might cause the noise.
No, you likely don't have one banging around under there at the moment, but using one is a good way to make things vibrate without breaking them. As I said, it might cause the noise. |
Your rear (cab) body mount bushings are gone.:-X22 |

If the backrack is easy to remove, maybe do that and drive around a bit to be absolutely sure that was the cause. |
