Default vibration between 40mph-60mph

I have a 2016 2.7 xlt screw with sport package and has only 1,000 miles on it. The problem is I get a constant slight vibration most noticeable thru the steering wheel between 40-60mph . Obviously most noticeable on smooth roads. Has anyone had this kind of issue? Took it to the dealer and the drivability tech agrees but has no ideal until they look at it. Any advise would be welcome.

Check you tire balance.

I have a vibration like that, the best way for me to describe it is that it feels like I have mud tires that need to be rotated. It is too fast of a vibration for a tire to be unbalanced. I will find out next month if it is tires because I am going to install new tires with a C load rating so that should rule tires out if that is the case.

Tire balance, specifically the front if you're feeling it in the steering wheel.

The frequency is too fast for tire balance, more like the speed of a bad wheel bearing or like I said rough tires and it is not always there.

I agree it's to fast and constant. I'd be surprised if it is a tire issue. You are right about it feeling like a bad wheel bearing. It would be hard to believe a wheel bearing is bad at 1k. I don't know if matters but the truck was built on 4/13/16. (Friday the 13th) LOL.
