Horrible Seat Creak, something isn't right - Heading to dealer today for diagnosis

[komek]

As I said in title, I'm off to the service center 2 hours so we'll see how it goes. I'm nervous about the run-around at the service center and not sure what to expect as this is my first Ford, first American vehicle, first truck.

See audio in the 2 videos attached. This terrible creaking sound starts after about 10min of the truck being warmed up. I believe it is somehow connected to the interior cabin temperature or the heated seats since it barely happens, or doesn't at all, if the truck is cold. If you play video on your phone with speakers maxed, it's still louder than that in person.

It happens when you breathe, it happens when you run over a small crack in the road, it happens when you look left or right. Tiniest movement of the body causes it, and it's just the entire time you're driving. Infuriating to say the least. Started at 700 miles or so, I'm at 1200 now, so going in for first oil change and diagnoses of creak. I know this is just a Ford, and not a Porsche, but this is silly right? Am I overreacting?

Already getting the dealership runaround as predicted. Truck is in shop for a few days so they can eventually get to assessing it. I gave them precise instructions on how to replicate sound, as well as video, as well as getting the front desk service person to see the sound.

I have a hunch on how this will go, but I'll wait and see.

Was your dealer able to resolve the issue?

I really don't understand people who share a problem about their vehicle, say they are going to the dealer, then never offer an update.
