Hi,
I drive my brand new 2019 Ram Classic for 2 weeks now and I am just back from a pretty long 700 Miles trip around Boston, MA and I noticed a slight (not huge) vibration in the truck at high speed (65-70 MPH) and it's like a general body vibration (not specific to the steering wheel I mean). I can also see the water stirring by itself in a water bottle left in the cup holder. I bring my truck back to the dealership and after a (very) short road test around the dealer, the mechanist told me that a pickup truck always vibrate as soon as there's a tiny imperfection on the road when the box is empty and because the rear end is much lighter than the front... well, this is my first pickup truck, but when I drove to Boston, I drove like 200 miles straight line on the highway 93 where the pavement is brand new (like very brand new from 4-5 days) and even on a very perfect pavement, the truck is always slightly vibrating.
I am pretty sure it can be something as stupid as a tire incorrectly balanced at the manufacture... but since the dealer's mechanist doesn't even wanted to check tire balancing as he just answer "a pickup truck always slightly vibrate" I just don't know how true it is (about the normal vibration) and if I should pay to get my wheel balanced somewhere else?
Any comments or hints are welcome!
