Why does my Ford Ranger make a rattling noise when I accelerate?

I own a 2018 Ford Ranger and recently noticed a rattling noise coming from the engine when I accelerate. It seems to be coming from the front end, but I can't pinpoint exactly where. What could be causing this and what should I do about it?

It's possible that the rattling noise is caused by a loose or worn out engine belt. I would recommend taking your Ranger to a trusted mechanic to have them inspect and potentially replace the belt.

Another common cause of rattling noises in Ford Rangers is a faulty exhaust heat shield. This can usually be fixed by tightening the bolts or replacing the shield altogether.

I had a similar issue with my Ranger and it turned out to be a problem with the fuel injectors. I took it to the dealership and had them replaced, which solved the rattling noise.
