I bought this truck brand new from the dealer 8-2015. As of august 1, 2019 the truck stated vibrating between 50 mph and 75 mph while driving on the highways. I am getting a vibration from what appears to be my drive axle. It is most prominent when letting off the throttle and coasting from 75 mph to 50 mph. You can feel it in the steering wheel and you can also hear it.

Now they are saying that it is…
