I have driven 2 different outer banks vehicles and neither exhibited the whistle. I took extended drives in both of them. They both had Lux.

I drove a base sasquatch, obviously without said Lux package and it exhibited the whistle constantly.

I'm pretty sure Ford is off the mark with the cause. Most think it's related to the lack of camera on the bottom of mirrors on mid or lower packages that must break up wind flow or something similar.

I wonder if its because the higher end models have that insulated hood dampener.

BB/OB Grilles are the same exact design. Ford identified that only that grille design is creating whistle noise and is working on redesigning a part revision.

Ford spent so much time showing, demonstrating and generally obsessing on the Badlands, our OBX has been ignored, orphaned. And now, it has a birth defect!
