Wind noise over 60
I know this vehicle is not the most aerodynamic, but I was wondering, am I the only one who gets considerable wind noise and feels the truck move side to side under moderate windy conditions?
I am ok with the noise as I just turn up the ML a little and it all goes away - but today I decided to turn off the audio and I thought it to be a bit loud and annoying......
Thanks

Yes and No
My 2003 was very noisy (although pretty stable on the road)..I agree it was pretty annoying. My brand new 2005 (1-day old) is much quieter. Not sure if its a model year or just a per vehicle "luck" of the draw.

I have some noticeable noise above 60 in my '04 as well. I wonder how much of that is a result of the car being so quiet that the wind noise becomes apparent instead of engine, tire, etc noise. I have noticed that when I am with clients (of course radio off) I can hear the noise but am still impressed at the being able to speak at a lower volume than normal in a car.

My wife's old Explorer was really loud! I think the wind noise might be caused my the side mirrors....just a thought.

If you do not regularly use the roof rack, I would move the cross-bars as far back toward the rear of the truck as you can. Not having a cross-bar above the sunroof will cut noise considerably.

Everyone may be different
Not sure why but it may really be a truck by truck luck of the draw. My 2005 is 90% quieter than my 2003....its an extremely noticable difference. I drove another 2005 at the dealer today and it had much more noise than mine.
About time I got lucky on this...
