Vibration over 40mph

[JoeCastle]

Gotcha. Was the one you test drove also a Sasquatch? Did it have the same vibration?

In the future, don't be afraid to kick the tires (literally and figuratively). A vehicle is a substantial purchase. Driving "A" Bronco is not the same as driving "YOUR" Bronco. Any and all issues on your Bronco should be addressed before you drive it off the lot. God forbid some tech or lot jockey busts something up and you didn't do a thorough once-over, now you're stuck with some sort of repair cost.

Curious what the result of you taking it back to the dealership was. Hopefully it was just an out of balance tire and not something else

It’s all the dealership now. Also getting some paint repairs made after catching in the correct angle with the sun. Looks like a repair was made and not fully buffed out at the factory. I will definitely let everyone know the root cause to the vibration.
Getting ready to the Flowmaster Outlaw dual exhaust and the steel craft front grille guard. Just hoping the reviews are right and it doesn’t set off the front sensors all the time.

Was this a brand new vehicle? Paint repairs? I'm starting to get my hackles up a bit here? Is there anything noted on a carfax or other vehicle history report? I'm hoping there isn't any serious damage somewhere that could be causing this vibration.

it had a scratch on the grille, paint chip on one of the roof panels, paint chip on the RRD and the poor repair on the LRD. Not the start I was hoping for but fingers crossed it’s smooth sailing after I get it back.

A little late to reply as you say it’s at the dealer now. You could have swapped one wheel at a time with the spare. If it is wheel/tire related you would notice a change.

Betting the dealer will get you fixed up - like other state...probably wheel/tire issue. Enjoy that sweet ride & post-up some pics when you get a chance.

The paint repairs are complete. They said the issue with the vibration is just that the tires need to be worn in a little (which is complete nonsense). Back in the driveway now and will take to a different dealership next week.

Also kind of strange…. The dealership put 37 miles on my Bronco while they had it

Hard to diagnose a vibration without driving it. Hell mine had 35 miles on it when it arrived at my dealership from Michigan. And the underside coated with road salt (February delivery to a warm Texas).

I can't remember what you said... is this a brand new vehicle or is it pre-owned?

Too many White Russians.

It's the White Russians AND the devil's lettuce

Dang! I agree have to drive it just didn’t think 37 miles was required to tell me the tires need to be worn in a little.

I'm thinking an out of balance tire still or it needs an alignment. Tires don't need to be worn in. I'd steer clear from that 1st dealership from now on too.
