Interior noise on Tremor

[Expensedition]

2026 Expedition Tremor (My puppy)

First, the noise is minimal considering the A/T tires, however, being cued in on bearing noises I am wondering if anyone else senses what might be "Normal" wheel bearing noises that you would get from low quality wheel bearings. I notice this bearing noise on most cheap cars and trucks, but never heard it on my earlier Fords. The wheel bearings Ford installs used to be Timken, and still may be, and I understand that Timken and SKF manufacture some of their products in China. I am hoping that they still adhere to the same standards.

Either way, I hear a noise and it doesn't have the hum of an A/T wheel.

The quiet is what I miss about my 2014 Limited.

After the weather gets better, try it on some fresh asphalt somewhere. It might just be the road surface causing the noise.

I experienced the same feeling with my previous truck. A/T tires and deteriorating road conditions throughout the winter had me thinking my bearings were wearing prematurely.

Took the truck to my mechanic, not the dealer, and he determined that the bearings were in good shape and that the road noise was the culprit. Hope this is the case for you also.
