"Rattles and bangs and wind noises"

That's so passengers can tell they're not riding in a 2025 Toyota Tacoma. I put a warning label on my '36 pickup for that same purpose-don't want any confusion-

I had a '37 1 1/2 ton that was a working truck. I was so enamored with the sound of the engine and gears I guess I did not notice anything else!
