Slight vibration when quickly accelerating from a stop or low speed.
My 2018 with about 2500 miles has started to have a slight vibration when quickly accelerating from a dead stop or punching it from a slow speed and the vibration stops right when the speed hits 30mph. 30mph seems to be the magic spot, if I floor it above 30 now matter how many gears the tranny drops there is no vibration but if I floor it below 30 the vibration is there until I hit 30mph. If I accelerate normally there is no vibration at all. Anybody else experience this?

I have experienced it daily in a 2018 F150 Lariat with HD tow package. Dealer told me its natural. did not offer to have me bring it in. Going to a different dealer next week! It is far worse with a trailer hooked up.

Pinion angle comes to mind. Usually it appears when a load is in the bed or a heavy trailer is attached, and is in the owners manual too. If stock empty and it happens then something is misaligned in the rear that can cause it.

I had a vibration at a certain speed when I drove mine from the lot new. They took a driveshaft from another new truck on the lot and installed it mine and it took care of the problem. I’m sure it was a stiff u-joint. I can cram mine on the floor and I have no vibrations. May or may not be your problem.
