    Lots of stuff!
    We haven’t driven our Tundra much, mostly to pull the 4,500 lbs trailer. Our odometer reads 1,655km (about 1,000 miles). I noticed a vibration which is apparent in the seats. Feels like something is out of round or not connected. When I am slowly accelerating, it comes in at around 20 km/h and goes away as the speed increases. I haven’t really stepped on it as of yet. Trying to baby it for a while.

    Anyone else have this sort of vibration? Could it be the transfer case mounts or drive shaft? I guess we are off to the dealer already!

    We have a Long Box CrewMax TRD if that makes a difference.

    I guess the tire balance could be out. it is pretty smooth on the highway at speeds up to and around 70 mph. I have the Michelin tires and have always had good luck with them as far as running round and true right from the start and our temps have been pretty mild up here when this happens. It seems to do the vibration when accelerating and at low speed but goes away quickly.

    I will be heading to the dealership Monday with the same complaint. Shutter/vibration shows up at about 10 miles an hour and goes away.
    I thought it was from the transmission when it shifted from first to second gear. I put it in manual mode and kept it from shifting into second past 10 miles an hour and it's still occurred.
    It is very apparent and any service advisor that drives it should agree I do have a valid complaint and hope they find the issue.

    I was recalling my little 4x4 from the 90's. Under certain loads, the transfer case would move a bit. I wonder if that is what is causing the vibration?
