Default Vibrations Increases with Speed

I have a 2016 F150 Lariat with a 5.0L V8, 2wd with about 106,000 miles. It has a slight vibration that can be felt when driving 30-45 and increases at highway speeds. The vibration can be felt in the steering wheel and in the floor/seats.

I’ve had the tires balanced and the rotors cleaned to resolve a vibrating while braking issue about 5 days ago.

I’m not sure how long this vibration issue has been happening as I recently purchased this “certified vehicle”. Unfortunately, there’s nothing the dealership (not a Ford dealership) can do regarding this issue.

I’ve placed the truck in neutral around highway speeds and let it coast, but still feel the vibration. It neither increases or decreases when I perform this test. The vibration also is not noticeable when I increase the rpm’s with the truck in park.

Could be separation of the belts in the tire/tires.

does the vibration change when you go around a long sweeping turn ?

It does not change going around a curve in either direction.

Although the truck is used and new to me, the tires appear to have been recently replaced with no signs or wear and plenty of tread left.
