Shudder at stop sign (NO etorque)

In the last week or so I have noticed when I am stopped at a stop sign, or moreso when stopped behind a bunch of cars in traffic, there is a noticeable vibration/shudder until I let off the brake again and accelerate. This is a new thing. The only thing I can think of recently was I filled up with gas. 87 at Costco. I've used the same gas many times though. The fans are going with the AC, but again, that isn't abnormal either. Any ideas on this? My wife hasn't ridden it the truck yet while it does it, but when she does it will be a big issue for her. Best way to describe the feeling is a side to side vibration.

Yeah, I'm noticing it now backing out of the garage. I'm hoping bad gas or something and next tank will be better, but sounds like you have had it for a few thousand miles. Have you asked your dealer about it? I'm scheduled for that last recall to be fixed and I might mention it to them.

Could it be the engine is firing back from 4 cylinders?

I don't think so because i usually turn that off with gear limiter. Plus it's when i stop and eco usually turns off around 20mph. I do wonder if it's something with the transmission bc it seems like letting of the brake it feels like its almost a weird shift type shudder.
