No experiencewith this complainant, might be worth removing tailgate, lubricating tailgate pivots and see if that fixes.

If you hold the liftgate handle in the open position while you open and close it, if the noise is still present you know if its the hinge.

Ohh in that case I'd agree with you and lube the latches as well.

I have the same thing happening with my 2016 s/crew, from the research I've done it's caused by the torsion rod inside.
