First Ford, not sure if this is normal.

Never heard this sound from a truck. Goes away (or I can’t hear it as well) when speeds get higher.

Doesn’t sound like wheel bearing, doesn’t change with AC on. Have yet to try and see if it goes away in 4A or 4H. Not sure if it’s engine, or transmission.

Any ideas?

Can’t really hear it from the video (even with head phones on) but I assume you’re taking about like a squeaking noise when driving slowly? Coming from the front wheels?

If so, then yeah seems to be normal. Does it on mine and also two other RRs that I’ve driven in too. You can hear it more clearly when slowly driving along a fence or wall

Yes sounds like that, not sure what it is. Might be completely normal.

Yeah I would say it's normal - I notice it more when the engine is at full operating temp rather than cold, I'm usually always in 2H too. Probably just diff noise? I know when offroading and in 4H or 4L there's a noticeable whine that is normal on all 4WD systems.

But yeah, like I mentioned it makes this sound on mine and also two other RR I've driven in. So with a sample size of at least 3, plus yours I would says it's normal
