Platinum Don

I'm new here. I have a 2020 platinum with a 3.5 and a 3:55 with 2200 miles. I am experiencing a steering wheel vibration that starts then starts again usually within several seconds around 35 mph to 55 mph. I have been told that it could be condensation in turbo caused by high humidity and high temperature. I live in Charlotte. Could this be the cause?
Is this fairly common? I can't get into the dealer for 10 days just for a diagnosis due to them being busy, and this is with two dealers. I'm hoping there is a computer fix for this. Any ideas?

I would not relate a speed-related steering wheel vibration to a turbo problem. More likely you have a front wheel related problem, like a missing wheel weight or something.

With 20” wheels, low profile tires and low miles, the tires could also be flat spotted.

It's not the lane assist is it? Turn it off and see if the problem persists.

A 2020 truck with only 2200 miles on the clock, tells me the truck probably sits a lot. I'm thinking the tires a flat spotting while the truck isn't being used.

Probably need more info from the OP before I'd go there - like is it only the first X number of miles? Does the truck sit for months? Ours has even less mileage, but we're on 18s, and it doesn't do this. My sports car I sold last year with SCCA spec tires on it, would have a shake if it sat for several months, but that went away in a mile or two...
