Is vibration an issue with the 2020-2021 Rebel?

[Bitwise]

I was extremely close to pulling the trigger on a 2020-2021 Rebel within the next month or so until I stumbled upon this thread in the General Discussion:

Is this an issue with the Rebel? It seems to be pretty common with no known solution. It's common enough to potentially scare me away.

Just make sure to fully test drive the truck you are potentially buying. 99% of the time it's the tires that cause vibrations

That's the kicker. According to the people in that thread with the issue, they've balanced tires, changed tires multiple times, done alignments, etc. and nothing seems to fix it.

I have over 20K miles on my Rebel and on my third tire rotation...

The only thing I could perceive being called vibration that I've experienced is from the tire tread pattern, making sharp turns at lower speeds. You can "feel" the tread blocks on the pavement. Very slightly... jussst enough to know it's happening. Certainly the result of the aggressive nature of the Duratracs and probably similar AT tires.

Around town and on the highway, my truck is smooth as silk... and impressively so. The Duratracs are buzzy/noisy but I don't sense any undue vibration at all. This is just my experience and 2 cents.

Don't read too much into it. Only a small fraction of vehicles owners come to a forum, of that small fraction people usually come to complain. Just take a proper test drive, back road, highway, etc. These trucks do not have a systemic vibration problem. Questionable A/C performance and leaking third brake light on the other hand...

2020 Rebel with 11K miles. No vibration experienced at any speed fortunately.

4900 miles and no extra vibrations...very smooth. I even like the tires and the feel of them on the road.

I am only at 500 miles on my 2021 Rebel but I am so impressed how smooth and quiet the truck is on the highway at speed. I barely hear the tires. My 2013 4Runner seemed so loud comparatively with K02s and Falken AT3s.
