Glad they found the fix for you. I have never had any issues, over 14,000 miles now, on my 2012.
This engine and transmission combination is smooth, at idle and in all driving conditions. If you are getting vibrations, it's not normal, whatever the dealer says.

Well guys I have my truck back. The dealer says they found a loose air inlet hose on the throttle body. I didn't experience the vibration issue when I picked it up and it actually seems to be a lot smoother. I picked it up several hours after I was told it was ready. The true test will be when I start it in the morning but so far so good! The truck only has 900 miles on it and 5 when I bought it so it must have made it from the factory with the loose inlet hose.

13Harleyfan, Our thought to was a posible iginition problem, but nothing showed up when the computer was hooked up. There were times when the truck seemed as though it was just plain missing. We pulled all 8 plugs and they all seemed fine and then regapped each one. The truck ran a little smoother, but the vibration was still very noticeable. Glad your truck is running better naz1124. Let us know if you figure anything out 13harleyfan.

Mine does this exact thing, I think Ford may have set the idle RPM's too low, so I took my tuner and slowly raised the RPM's (don't remember how much but I know it was not much at all) after this my issue has gone away.

Naz....any idea what hose they are referring to?? Mine has actually done this since I have owned the truck but it appears to have gotten much worse in last 5-6K miles....I guess I can go out here and start looking around for loose hoses.....

I just became a member because my '13 F150 vibrates at around 50-55 mph especially if I am towing a light trailer with nothing in it. I bought it new and have 33,000 miles on it. Most of that is highway miles. I haven't read all of the posts but hope Aevans finds a answer. Only 3000 miles left on warranty.
