Yeah, slop in the trans or diff or axles or transfer case. Could be engine mounts, too.

I’d say possibly loose bolts or crack on flywheel/ flexplate, also had a ford Taurus that did the same but turned out to be broken baffles in gas tank, the banging sound was just the sound of gasoline bouncing around the tank
