Default 2013 5.0 Lariat Screw 4x4 Drivetrain Vibration

Are any of you experiencing any drivetrain vibration issues on your 2013's?
I have a vibration that i can feel in the steering wheel and in the floorboard on my new truck. My truck has 3000 miles on it now. I first noticed this vibration after a few weeks of driving. I would only notice it at about 53 to 55 mph when in 6 th range. It has gotten progressively worse as i have put a few more miles on the truck. I now can notice it at almost any speed in any range. Just thought I would see if any of you have had the same issue. I am taking it to the dealer next Friday and will post the results.

Looks like I am the only one with this issue. That is good news.

Maybe a tire out of balance?

I notice road vibrations, but I know 100% what I am feeling is from the stock pirelli's flat spotting and then taking about 10 miles to re-round out.

I have the 20" wheels on pirelli ATR's. Which rims and tires do you have?

if its only at a certain speed, the most logical thing would be an out of balance tire.

I have the stock wheels (18 in) and the stock goodyear tires. I am betting and hoping it's a balance issue. I hate Goodyear tires! Thanks for the responses.

I also have a 2013 Lariat S-crew 4x4 with only 304 miles on it and I experienced it last night for the first time. Felt like it was in the transmission or transfer case. I had the same vibration again today and it is in the 52-62 mph range. I'm calling the dealer now.

Regular balancing did me no good.
I had the dealer Road Force balance them and it helped.

Lots of info about this problem on the forum.
Here is 20 pages of people having the problem: https://www.f150forum.com/f38/2011-2...tabase-137932/

Dealer told me he couldn't feel it. Imagine that. I will just keep driving it until it gets more noticeable. It is not that bad yet,

Vibration sorted, dealer balanced all four tires and found one with a weight missing. Thankfully a simple remedy...
