Mild Vibration.
Just traded 07 xlt in for 06 4 wheel drive. Sick of getting stuck all time!
Anyway, i have noticed mild vibration, especially at hiway speeds. NOthing horrible, however you look down and your coffee is moving around. IS it normal because 4 wheel a little rougher or should i have it looked at?

My 4x4 rides very smoothly. You may want to get the truck on a lift and shake the front tires a little from top to bottom see if one of your hubs is going bad, this can produce a shake that gets more noticable at higher speeds.

same thing
i have a 06 4x4 and have a slight vibration. not sure if its the tires or what but i might take my dads tires off and try them on mine to see if a cant get ride of this. could my rear shocks be bad, my box shakes a little at 60 mph. also my rear slider is making noise when driving on rough roads, tried to tighten the nuts but doesnt go away.

i have an '04 4X4 and since i got it two years ago i have been dealing with a vibration as well and i eventually narrowed it down to one tire by swapping each tire one by one with the spare. Once i found the bad tire it rode like a dream compared to before. Its def. worth a try to swap out tires

yea
I'd check the tires first - make sure that their good to go (good tread, balance, aligned, and rotated) - that will cause a vibration at all or varying speeds
I drive an '06 4x4 it is extremely smooth - smoother than my old F150 2wd or my old man's F250 2wd
If the wheels and tires look good - I'd have a good look at the rotors next; maybe you've got one that's warped
good luck

if you're closing in on the 100k mile mark on the truck its probably time to replace the shocks; especially if you've worked the truck hard and also especially if its a 4wd

Yea they are brand new tires off my 2007 i traded in. I am hoping that its just a balancing thing, ill find out today. If not looks like ill take it in, also hear like a humming or whine coming from front left, so maybe bearing or hub.. Who knows..
