So just got my 2022 GX. Yay. The not so yay part is, there's a vibration through the steering wheel and footwell when the engine is at 1900rpm, while in drive only and only at that RPM. I've tried revving it to 1900 rpm while in park and no problem. I've also tried revving the engine to 1900rpm in D while holding the brakes and the vibration is there, then I felt the transmission shift.
THe worse part is, when going 75 - 80mph on the highway, the RPM settles exactly at 1900rpm!
I dont recall that to be an issue with my 2018 at all. Anybody with the 4.6L V8 have that vibration?
I'mma go and try to test drive a 2022 at another dealership just to see but want to see if anyone here have the same experience. Posted the same question in the GX section, but as usual, sub sections are ghost towns.

That's not normal. It is possible to capture on video? If you go to the dealer they will probably either say they couldn't duplicated the fault or "they all do that".

Occasionally some vehicles will have a slight imbalance in the driveline which causes that. Have the dealership check and see if there are ay TSB's (Technical Service Bulletins) on that issue. Do you feel it only in RWD or also in 4WD?

kinda relevant, people with 4 runners reported this problem. different car but kind of the same also. so, I remember some had no fix (sorry to report but want to say). I remember some would just do alignments every 3-6 months make sure tires are perfect. really sorry for this recommendation but I only would recommend this because of the market, but I would try and return it and get a different vehicle. normally the dealers say no but in this market and how hot the car is and depending on your relationship w/ the dealer they may bite and let you get a different car. that's really the only fix. but before that go to a legit tire shop and get a balance and alignment. properly done by a tire shop, not a dealer or Sams club. call around. it needs to be balanced on a "road force" machine. find a trie shop that has that. & report back
