Yeah, I'm not either. The one I drove through had the spinning mops that follow the side profile of the vehicle, so the Raptor flares & spare tire kept them from cleaning the flares, parts of the doors, and most of the tailgate & rear glass. Did the same thing on the tailgate & rear glass on our Big Bend. Also did a terrible job scrubbing the 37" tires on both, but I guess it's good for knocking some of the grime off before hand washing it.
I prefer to hands and spray wax with a beer of course, but I have been to a couple that won't allow the BR through because of liability. I do go through one in Foley, AL, PitStop which does a decent job and will run it twice if you ask but it does get bumped around a bit.

I have a 2024 BR and don't find the wind noise to be that bad. It is actually better than my 2005 F150 Triton which before you roll your eyes, lol, I have replaced the engine. Anyway, back to the road noice...it's better in my 2024 BR. Cheers
I put an acoustical liner in two years ago and just added a Hotheads liner kit. The acoustical liner made a big difference and the hotheads adds to it. My truck is loud. I have a rack with lights and run a tent sometimes, so every little helps.

Hot Heads has different SKUs depending on whether you have the factory sound insulation on the roof.
