Window Pressure Vacuum

[RedStarTX]

So here's a weird question... Has anyone else experienced a pressure vacuum when they open their windows? I sometimes like to open my windows when it's not crazy hot and I'm out on country roads at speeds ~40 - ~65mph. The wind flies through the cab but there is a crazy amount of vacuum pressure as if I only have one window open. It's downright painful.

Is this a thing? I've never experienced anything like this before. It's not wind noise but like the pressure inside is trapped. I don't even know how else to explain it.

Yes I’ve experienced the same thing. It happens in other vehicles to but it seems particularly bad with the palisade.

No, we've never experienced that in 12k+ miles in a Palisade with more than one window open, including the sunroof. But one window open? Yes Palisades do that, every car I've owned for the last 10 years has done that, I'd wager many if not most new cars do that. It's a function of aerodynamics, well-sealed cabins, whatever. Simple fix is to crack another window open.

This is something I experience with more than one window open, at any increase in speed.

It happens in EVERY vehicle, but in some slower than others. Vehicles are not designed to drive with open windows, period. And yes, in SUVs it's worse. If you like to drive with open windows, you could diminish the buffeting with a spoiler added to the black plastic triangle where the front windows start (next to the mirrors). I did that on my Porsche, since a company sells a part with the spoiler built-in, so it looks OEM. But it didn't eliminate it; it only pushed up the speed where the buffeting was unbearable from about 40 mph, to about 65, which was enough when driving in the cool mountains . But I bet nobody makes such a thing for the Pali, so you'd have to devise something yourself. Good luck.
