Pedal Vibration
I am new to the brand, just got my first Ford last week, a Platinum F150 BAP. So far, I am loving it! I actually traded a 2022 Tundra for it, had that truck 12 months and it spend roughly 60 days in the shop. My only complaint/concern so far is there seems to be excessive vibration in the gas pedal. Normal driving at slow speed, it just seems like I can feel the road through the pedal, every bump, pebble, etc. On the highway, at 70 or so, it's like a cyclic vibration; I'd describe it as a slow pulsating feel maybe. It's not strong, but I feel a vibration for 1/2 second then nothing 1/2 second ..repeat. A couple times now there seems to be a slight reverberation sound in the cab at interstate speeds, kinda that weird pulsing you hear/feel if you have the window cracked "just right".
On the test drive, I had the salesman drive it and of course he says he couldn't feel anything, but he's trying to sell a truck, I get it. I'd assume this isn't normal? Never felt anything through the pedal of any previous brands.

The pedal isn't direclty connected to anything other than its mount, so any vibration you're feeling is coming through the cab. The pulsing sensation you describe on the highway almost sounds like a torque converter, but there's no way to know based on this.

I had not even considered it as a cause, but I did have the wheel well liner option added. One of them is missing 4 out of 6 rivets and had to be ordered. The service dept guy said it wasn't a concern since it still had a couple rivets and a couple actual screws holding it, but I can definitely move it by hand. Thank You, fingers crossed it's that simple.

I have a similar issue; unfortunately, it's not rare. If you haven't already- check out this thread:
