sorry to hear about your experience with ford.to hear rattling sounds on a brand new car/SUV/truck would irritate anyone but i cant agree that ford as a whole is just one big piece of garbage when it comes to their automobiles.
ived own/driven 6 ford cars(mustang,ranger,VAN,explorer and my current expedition) and never had any serious problems with any of them.
my mustang was heavily modified for racing and was a daily driver.
the ranger and the van were both company cars and i dogged the crap out of em and never let me down.
my explorer was traded and it had 160,000 miles and in perfect working condition
my expedition right now is 7 years old with 80,000+ miles and its cabin is very quiet and no rattles.engine is very healthy too considering i race the trcuk(supercharger,nitrous,heads,cams,bassani headers and full exhaust,chip) and its a daily driver too.(well..it is pretty loud loud cause of the 3 1/2 inch exhaust when you nail the gas )

lastly...the f150 still outsold every model of pickup from any brand this year. too. 20-30 years best selling pick up
