I do get some driveline vibration as well but I did expect that from the legnth of the driveshaft. You could keep trying the dealer but for me there is a good local driveline shop for $50 I know it will be running good. Me shelling out $50 is cheaper than the 5 trips to the dealer and all the crap they give me. The stability control really chaps me. I've owned prior vehicles with the same system and didn't have problems. The dealer admits there is an issue but no solution. Another dealer wants a chance to fix it so we'll see how it goes. I've owned Fords all my life and this very well could be the last one. And yes it's a strange fact of life you never find the problems til after you buy it. Don't know why vehicles are offered with warranties anymore because nobody wants to fix it. At least I don't feel alone anymore feeling all ticked off with a brand new truck

You got that right, 2 FORD in 2 years a 13 and 14 and both have same driveline vibration. I am sure there are many more people like us out there w/same issue..Like you I would like to find a good shop just to fix my issues and to hell with dealers. There concern for fixing problems under warranty is a joke..
