2022 Hybrid Platinum humming/grinding/rumbling at freeway speeds in gears 8-10

Hey all!
Brand new F-150 owner. Ordered a Hybrid Platinum on Jan 1 2022, finally got it this week (2/25/23). Pretty sure it was built Sept 22’ but was waiting on chips.

I took it on the freeway this week and noticed a troubling thing: At speeds between 45 and 75 MPH, and in gears 8-10 (and especially at an incline), the truck makes a very perceptible and tangible humming/vibrating. It seems to be specifically happening at certain speed/gear combinations, ex. 50-52mph in 8th gear, 59-61mph in 9th gear, etc.

I feel it rumbling in the floor of the cab, and especially feel it in the gas pedal. It is perceptible everywhere in the cab. I’ll upload a video, but it doesn’t quite do it justice. I’ve intentionally taken it to multiple roads in various states of repair, and it happens the same everywhere (even on freshly paved).

I have an appointment with the dealer and will update y’all if interested - if anyone has any ideas I’d welcome your thoughts!


cheers
