Lol the test drive. It isn’t horrible. No weird sounds. Just a little more vibration at idle than I got from my Gen2. Mainly at 500rpm. 600rpm feels fine.
500rpm seems like a really low idle in general and most cars with vibrate at that low rpm. Should be closer to 7-800 usually. Quick search shows a bunch of gen2s had the low idle issues as well.

Mine idles that low and I hate it. Lots of time i downshift to get RPMs up while I am driving because it wants to cruise city streets at that low RPM as well. This is my biggest complaint so far.

That’s by intent, it’s for fuel economy. If you switch to sport mode it will downshift and increase RPM.

I've got about 700 miles on my new raptor. I noticed this right after refueling recently. When in drive and stopped, the engine has started to idle noticeably rougher. If i shift into neutral or park it goes away. Anyone else noticed this or have any ideas?
Check if a Ford Recall visit could solve the problems.

I have this problem also. Low idle, around 500 RPM, and a slight shudder when stopped in Drive. Still on the first tank of gas but I noticed it right away.

It's the same feeling as in my old Tacoma with the A/C running at idle. Kind of annoying.

I've completely ruled out fuel as the culprit. I'm convinced it's the RPMs. if they could dial it up 100 RPM or so I think the roughness would go away.

Noticed mine dip down to 500 rpms at a light today for 10-15 seconds, then back to 6-700. Didn't feel rough, just felt like it was about to shut off.
