So, I'm gonna do my best to describe the problem and maybe someone has had the same thing in the past. My stealership told me "maybe it's exhaust maybe it's in the wheel wells were not really sure" so around 50-60 mph under light acceleration there is a "Woosh" type noise coming from the right front. Not quite grinding but the best way I can describe it is it
Sounds like a garbage can being dragged across concrete. Doesn't matter if mds is on or not. In tow mode the noise comes on about 10mph sooner (35-45). It will only make the noise when the truck is moving down the road (I've tried to rev it up in park and it won't make the sound) It sure is annoying and would really like to figure out where the heck it's
Coming from. I've crawled underneath and can't find any loose heat shields or anything and to have my dealership tell me they aren't sure where it's coming from and to just deal with it is also pretty annoying. I tried to get it on video but it's not loud enough for my phone to pick it up

If it's coming on sooner with tow mode on I'd look into the transmission or torque converter.

Lift the front end, take the weight off the front and spin the front tires by hand.
