Default Clunk! Clunk! Clunk!

My 2019 F150 makes a clunking sound at slow speeds and when pulling into my driveway its making me insane. Its dull clunk or thump like if someone is patting the back end of the bed. You can't feel it as much as hear it when I have to slow down and turn in somewhere. I've read its a C clip in the rear axle, leaf spring issues, 2 piece drive shaft, all this and the dealership even says its normal which I don't buy. I have had 2 Ford F150's and they have not ever given me this noise. My truck is a 4 door 4x4 XTS no lift, 19K miles eco boost. I get irritated fast with rattles and noises coming from my truck so this is killing me. The worst part is my wife doesn't hear it as something bad!! Its almost an obsession every time I get into my truck. Anyone have this issue?

Don't know if your wife drives, but could you have her drive it up the driveway when it makes the nose and maybe you could get a better idea of where it might be coming from? Enough times and you could get pretty close. Can you do this?
Maybe it's louder on one side, maybe it is coming from the rear or middle under the truck?

Park truck on level ground turn it off, jump up and down in the bed on one side then the other, if the noise happens with you jumping up and down I would guess leaf springs, Ive replaced a few sets under base warranty that were making clunking noises when going over little bumps. In fairness if the dealer cannot duplicate the issue then how are we suppose to know if we fixed it after replacing X Y Z.

It is coming from the rear on the passenger side of the truck, It could very well be the leaf springs. I have read in other forums that this could be the case with these year models. I will contact the dealer again and have them take a look again and specifically look at the springs.

Same issue started about 3 months ago on my 2015 Lariat Crew cab. Will be ordering a set of these in a couple of weeks.
