I was experiencing an intermittent interior rattle since shortly after buying my RR. It appeared to be coming from the left rear.
I had my tow hitch stored under the rear seat and thought the rattle might be coming from it so I placed it inside a pistol size gun sock, nothing.
The rattle was making me crazy.
I checked tightness of all seat bolts, shock the doors to see if that was where the noise was coming from, made sure the jack was stored correctly and tightened down. I finally removed everything I had stored under the rear seat. ZIP!
A week ago, I dropped the rear seatback, I don't remember why and I noticed the emergency funnel, the one provided so one can add gas to their fuel tank from a gas can. It was attached to a bit of trim fabric, just dangling there. SOB!
Even though I doubted this was the noise culprit, I snatched it off and stowed it in the Glove Box.
I am now rattle free!

My 2025 Lariat has multiple rattles and squeaks which drive me insane. Especially the one on the front passenger side. I think it’s in the door because I’ve taken everything else apart except the damn dash and nothing. Mine must have been built on a late Friday afternoon right before beer time. “Screw that speaker bolt Jay! Let’s git to the bar!” 🤬🤬

I had a rattle that was driving me crazy. After much trial and error I found the passenger side seat belt was the culprit. When a passenger rode in my truck the belt would not return to its correct orientation and cause it to hit the side post trim. Simply turning the seat belt around stops the noise. But it happens every time I have a passenger. No permanent fix yet.
