Dropped it off at the dealership today after having to get Ford Service on Facebook involved. Dealership rebalanced the tires, again, and are pretty certain my driveshaft is bad. The engine doesn't lug going uphill, low speed, and high gears (8-10), so most likely not a misfiring cylinder.

However, the service tech riding with me could feel the vibrations moreso in the rear of the vehicle and that's why they think it's the driveshaft.

The service manager stated that the 2017 raptors weren't having any issues...

Just waiting to hear back since they won't give me a loaner vehicle.

I had to file a complaint with Ford Service. The dealership wouldn't schedule me an appointment, wouldn't give me a loaner, and didn't balance the tires the first time I asked them to.

Ford Service called down, forced them to give me an appointment right away, clean the rust off the vehicle, and give me a loaner. Currently waiting on a loaner...

Service department drove 23 miles, came back saying they needed to road force balance the rear tires. Drove 20 Ish more miles, then called me saying they now needed to balance the fronts, then drove it 20 Ish more miles.

Damn, Brother. That's not right. Who's the dealership? Hang in there...

Might want to check and see if its got one of those leaks in the intercooler. I heard on the internets that a weep hole can cause mis-fires and other problems.
