Hey all, have had my 21 ram since may. Always noticed a vibration in steering wheel,cab,seats,gas pedal from speeds of 60-85. I have the black 20 inch wheels with the Bridgestone duelers and I thought it was bad tires. Bought new Toyo at3s and vibration is still there and worse. But the duelers back on. I went under the truck from front to back and everything seems good and tight! Please help I’m pulling my hair out. Has anyone had success with fixing this?! Everything is stock on the truck.

Im not rying to be a being a **** or anything but being a 2021 I'd take it to the dealer and let them deal with it. After all that's what warranties are for. You said it happens at 60 mph and higher. Does it do it while you're coasting at that speed or when your foot is on the gas pedal? Could be a universal joint. Let the dealer deal with it

Pretty much no matter what 60+ it’s shaking. Not where you can’t drive it but definitely very noticeable. But it’s not necessarily everytime. Could be going 60-65 and smooth as glass. Next time creeping up past 65 to 80 and it shakes …. IMO I want to believe it’s a tire issue. And I’d love to take it to the dealer. But I like to figure it out on my own , cause you know it goes at dealerships….. can’t replicate or everything seems to be fine.. unfounded

My first thought was a tire, but you tried that. Do you notice any unusual wear on the tires? How many miles are on the truck? I still think it is a tire balance thing possibly since the other tires made it worse.

Hopefully you can get it resolved. I'm no mechanic by any means, so if its not tires I would be of little help. Gotta be frustrating though on a new vehicle.

Did you ever figure it out. I have a 2021 limited with 17k miles. Just rotated the tires and now I have the same vibration as you. Above 70 mph

Your vibration may go away within 100 miles. If it was your first Rotation at 17K they make take a little to even out. Keep us updated on that and check your lug nuts now just to be safe

all BS aside .... it's time "WE" all realized and accept the fact that these trucks do not come from factory at it's best ... my wheels and tires made my truck shake, I took a look at how much weight they had and I was shocked to see the front ones had "WAY" more weight that the rears lol ...

People just don't care about quality anymore ... it's quite possible that your wheels both OEM and your new ones were not balanced correctly and that they used the wheels with the most weight on the front lol ..


You never want to put wheels that have more weight on the front unless that is the only route to take, but even then a good tire buster is going to figure out how to get that wheel to take less weight even if it takes him/her a few more minutes ....

It’s my second rotation and the fronts were starting to get a little feathered this last interval so I agree. I’m going to give it a couple hundred miles to see if it smoothes out. That won’t take long since I put on about a thousand miles a week. Lol
