Slight vibration

[Flockem]

I swore this thing drove like glass but I could also be mistaken. I noticed a vibration through steering wheel and pedal at highway speeds. Took it to discount and had everything balanced… still felt it.

I started noticing it after I went through a low intersection aka DIP (if that makes sense) and have crawled under and checked everything. It looks good and the only thing I even remotely discover was passenger CV axel had a little play compared to drivers side. But I dont know if this is normal as there aren’t many tremors around to check and not going to be reaching up under random peoples truck during the cat stealing days we live in.

Had a scheduled appointment with dealership but they wanted to keep it for 3-4 days and I don’t have a second vehicle for the next month. Service Advisor drove with me (didn’t drive/wouldn’t drive) and said he didn’t feel anything. Also the gf says she doesn’t feel anything.

I’m sometimes neurotic about sh¡t like this so I dont know if it’s my mind and the trucks do this or it’s for real.

It’s real, or at least, it is in my case. Search “vibration” and you’ll see some discussions. I wish dealer would use vibration analyzer equipment vs human perception. Is the sensation in the pedal constant or pulsing?

All I can say is that when I did an extensive test drive before ordering, I perceived this truck to be one of the smoothest riding vehicles I’d driven. Now that I own one, I want to crawl out of my skin after 30 minutes. All cars have their quirks and driving dynamics, but I just can’t relax into the ride. It’s really disappointing and you’re not alone… something is off.

Hey! If you send over a DM with your VIN and Ford dealer info, I can look into your vibration concern on my end.

Yes, I'm feeling also.

I noticed the same thing also, and it was with the factory tires and wheels. But now I have my aftermarket tires and wheels on, the dealer will probably blame it on my aftermarket tires and wheels.

I have 3 different sets of wheels for this truck and they all have the vibration, and guess what...The dealership blamed it on the 20in low pro tire and my truck being a RCSB that was never optioned with 20's.

I have 24in low pro on mine, but it came with 22in. I'm going to wait until the fall, and put the stock ones back on, and then go to the dealership. I'll keep you guys posted?

Hey guys, new to Fords here, have had two Toyota trucks in the past but got tired of their lack of power and size. I bought a new 2023 F-150 Tremor with the V8 two months ago and have put 7500 miles on it since. It is primarily my work and field truck and it spends the majority of it's time in Nevada on two lane highways, unpaved county roads, two tracks and drill roads. About 1800 miles of the 7500 has been off-road.

To get to the point... I notice a vibration on paved roads and highways as well. Sometimes it's really bad, even at 55 mph where my stomach is shaking (happened a couple times). Most of the time it isn't so bad but certainly noticeable and will happen on a freshly paved road going 80+ mph. It is strange how it's not on every road and not at a specific speed which leads me to think it's not the wheels/tires. I initially thought it was the roads (NV roads aren't that bad and don't see a lot of traffic) but I am starting to think it is something else. A brand new $75k truck shouldn't feel like this. It was absolute butter when I drove it off the lot. It could be that I've beaten it up off road but this truck is supposedly made to be a beast off road. Maybe I got crappy shocks? It kinda bounces a few extra times over bumps and that doesn't feel right either.

Took it to the dealer for first oil-change and told them the about the vibration issues, plus the super whiney/whistlely transmission and a metal clanking sound upon acceleration and at idle (started morning I took it to dealer). Of course, they couldn't reproduce anything!! I want to love this Truck, it's freaking bad ass and hauls ass, esp coming from a Toyota but I'm just not super happy with the way things started.

Anyways, appreciate any thoughts/comments from others experiencing this.

same here, I think it’s the vibration through the all terrain tires
