Does your truck still do this? I’m experiencing the same damn thing which is how I landed on this thread. Had an alignment and balance done and it still does the same thing you describe. Around 60 mph on the highway is when it’s the worst
Honestly even when I did it was really mild. I ended up going to a dealership to test drive some other tremors and it was all the same. They checked the tire balance too and it was fine. Both the tech at the dealership and any passenger I drove would not notice it when I asked them.
What kind of shaking is it? Is it constant or random?
I appreciate your feedback. Never experienced this except with some BFG K02s I had on my old 4Runner. Thinking this might be my issue. I’ll tell the wife this is why I need new (wider) tiresFWIW……I had a random intermittent steering wheel vibraton on my VW Touareg TDI when it was new. It wasn’t always there, but when it was, it made my expensive car feel like crap. We rebalanced tires multiple times and even put on a new set of the stock OEM Pirellis, wouldn’t go away. At 22k miles, I put on some high performance Michelins, and it drove like butter. I never had another problem with steering vibration again on that vehicle. Morale of the story is that tires can be bad from new, especially the larger sizes. So far, I haven’t had any problems with the Generals on my Tremor.
50 mph+ is when I notice it. My wife said she can too. You feel a lot of vibration/road feedback in the petals and steering wheel and get a vibration to where the seats are shaking at times. Pretty consistently at highway speeds
I think a little bit of vibration/road feedback is normal.. honestly it's difficult to quantify something like this. Is it something you have to purposely look/feel for to notice?
Does his XLT have all terrains? All terrains will feel rougher. Also the shocks on the tremor are different as well but with what your describing I'm fairly certain it's a tire thing.
I really appreciate your input Freewayman! I burn 91 octane religiously because of what you mentioned.
No worries least I could do is give some insight for a new tremor owner. I think your best bet if it bugs you would be to take it to the dealer and have a tech hop on a test drive with you. Make the most out of that warranty
Interesting! Sucks you got a flat but if it makes a difference then hell yeah. I notice mine does the vibrating intermittently. Almost like the tires have to fully warm up and it settles down. Once these wear out gonna go a different route. You should have bought that tire care BS when you bought it from Ford
I actually did haha.. although it is with a third party company Tricor. They gave me a free replacement tire for the flat tire (I couldn't patch it as it was a gash in the sidewall). I think the plan pretty much paid for itself alreadyInteresting! Sucks you got a flat but if it makes a difference then hell yeah. I notice mine does the vibrating intermittently.

As to vibration that's why it was a concern for me ,because my 2015 xlt was a solid good truck,now since the issue with rear differential and fixed of course the truck is better but I'm a little off with it being almost a new truck at the time.
