2024 XLT 5.0 noticeable vibration at idle

[THE306BOY]

Picked up a 2024 XLT October 2024 - right from the very next day after I bought it, I noticed a vibration at idle. It’s a very consistent tempo - if the dots were vibrations it would look something like … 1 2 3 … 1 2 3 … 1 2 3 … (approx 3 seconds between vibrations consistently)

I have a mag safe phone mount and I can notice the vibration in my phone screen when secured to the mount, the reflection when the screen is off shakes and distorts the in line with the vibration

My wife mentioned she could feel a slight vibration in her feet while we were parked waiting for a train to clear the road - I had never mentioned this issue to her!

Booked the truck in with the Ford Dealership and after watching my truck not move all day on the FordPass app, they called and said they couldn’t replicate the issue and did not find anything wrong.

Hoping someone can shed some light on this issue, thanks in advance

My ‘23 5.0 idles perfectly thru 26k miles. It’s a little more stout than my previous 3.5, but there is no noticeable cadence to concern me.

Keep an eye on it and see if it gets better with a new tank of gas, etc. If not, keep taking it in.

Just my 0.02 cents.

Yeah the new tank of fuel was something I had tried, even switched where I purchase my fuel hoping it would make a difference, no luck!
I do plan to keep taking it in but, I use my truck for work so it’s hard to give it up for a day

I had a mustang with water in the gas that caused all kinds of issues with idle and warning lights. It spent an entire weekend in the shop. They drained and replaced the gas and it was perfect after that.

Keep an eye on it and let us know if you figure it out.

Did you buy it new with very few miles or was it a demo or recent trade in with mileage? I bought mine in May '24 and the date of manufacture was May also.

I purchased it brand new, less than 5km (Canadian)

Just wondering if there's a difference in fuel quality, climate conditions, and driving methods in your part of Canada as compared to mine here in Texas. We have extremes in climate conditions and the recommended octane is 87 with variations in that as well.

I have a 2021 3.5 ecoboost that does the same thing although it isn’t as much as it was when I bought it new. Hardly noticeable now. Seems to help it when I consistently run 93 octane shell gas.
