sound deadening vs trim level?

[Pioneer74]

Every model should have the same glass. I didn't see multiple different part racks when I walked down the assembly line with my truck. At least on the "22 model.

XLT has acoustics glass and I am very happy with XLT's sound insulation.

I saw laminated (double-panel) glass installed on the front side windows of the Pro model that I test drove. Didn’t see anything about it on the window sticker.

Can anyone confirm the windshield glass against different trim levels? I am also assuming the rest of the noise insulation scheme is identical throughout the range, but would be curious to hear from those that may disagree.

Also curious if the battery pack size (e.g. additional weight) has an impact on road noise.

The F-150L is easily the quietest vehicle I've ever owned, and I'm basing this from my experience owning a '22 Pro model. That's easy to say immediately w/o engine noise. But I've owned half a dozen EVs and the statement still rings true.

Everytime I jump into another one of my EVs, I check for wind leaks because I swear there's that much more noise.

I’m coming from luxury cars where engine noise is a complete non-issue. Mostly inaudible, but when audible (under load or idling) it’s a pleasing sound. I would say a lot of midrange ICEV are like this nowadays.

I’ve also owned several EVs and had many noise complaints, so who knows why that may be.

That said, I drove the Pro model and concur. They did a great job making it an acoustically comfortable environment, far better than other EVs I’ve driven.

After driving EVs, engine noise is always an issue to me. I guess I've never thought of any of it being a pleasing sound. It is disconcerting to be zipping along in almost total drivetrain silence.

Do you have the base XLT or the XLT lux/prem setup?

All trims have an acoustic (laminated) windshield and front driver/passenger window. A larger battery pack probably helps but the body on frame construction is by far the biggest reason for the quietness of the cabin. The battery is isolated from the frame and the frame is isolated through the cabin.

I am completely satisfied with the sound insulation....until it rains. The rain noise is quite a bit louder than other vehicles that I have owned. It is also very loud for folks on the other end of a phone call. I was wondering if they forgot to put insulation in the overhead in front of the sunroof. SO loud.
