yep, but from what I saw in the online complaints its a gambit of all of them from 2wd to 4wd and regular cab to crew cab and extended cabs all seam to have a group of vehicles doing this with or without towing packages and there are two tire brands involved, the bridgestones duelers and the goodyears.
from what I saw in the online complaints, a few people have come across details showing the tires being put on the new trucks is a much lower quality of speed, load, and temperature ratings then the ones you go buy retail so while its a guess, I think its all caused by really crappy tires and also poor quality rims being cast instead of turned which makes them harder to balance even though in my case I have the steel wheels.
IMO it also appears they don't balance the tires at the factory because this new electronic assist power steering is "suppose" to absorb vibration from out of balance tires
its also affecting trucks with steel whells or aluminum and in all sizes 17", 18" and 20"
