    Guys, have about 8,000 on my 2020. I have just noticed when doing my monthly 4hi miles and coasting that I feel a buzzing in the steering wheel. I do this when it’s raining and on the freeway on the way home from work so I do not bind up the drivetrain on dry roads.
    Maybe it has always done it, not sure... noticed it the other day driving home, the buzzing goes away when I get on the gas on a straightaway or while going uphill.
    Am I crazy, or is this normal?

    buzzing as in a sound or vibration in the feel? Scale of 1-10 in your opinion?

    I've noticed a slight and i mean slight vibration when in 4hi on roads. I'm guessing so slight that the average person not paying attention wouldn't notice it.

    Anyway to post a video if it's an audible buzzing?

    More of a vibration I feel in the wheel. I agree it is very mild, but I notice things like that... it is certainly not audible.

    I too have noticed this in my 2021. Did you ever figure it out? It’s been driving me nuts.

    I have not. Still does that buzzing when coasting. Good news is that it has not changed, maybe normal??? Truck has about 15k on it now

    Thanks Rick. I have about 20k on mine. I’m going to ask when I take it in for service.
