Are the tires stock? Also could one of the rims be bent? Maybe a beadlock ring isn't set right? Does it happen under a certain amount of power or just generally over 60?

A shake could be a lot of different issues albiet most balance related

Does it happen when you get over towards the line in the road. Could be the lane assist vibrating the wheel. I assume that this was available on the 17. I know that it does it on the 18.

Also did you check the psi in all tires? Follow the guidelines in the driver's door sill. Ignore the dealer psi. Our 18 was a bit jumpy with higher psi

38psi, road force balance did the trick for me. If it still shakes you got other issues.

The fact that your Ford dealer cant get it right isnt acceptable. Is it not under warranty?

Like he said, get the road force balance . It'll tell you if the tire or wheel is out of round. BFG's are a lot better than they used to be but you'll still find some bad ones every once in a while.

Yes, the 2017's have that option available.

And FYI, you can change it to where it doesn't vibrate, it only makes the correction.

I had the same issue and had my tires road force balanced. One of the tires was so bad it had to be replaced under warranty. Problem fixed!!!!
