The dealership replaced one tire and said it was good. I don't knownif the checked the balance of all the tires.
Id have them check the balance or ask them to rebalance the wheels.

A seat or body shake would generally indicate a possible driveline problem or rear end...while a steering wheel shake would indicate a front end issue as mentioned before...hopefully the dealer is road force balancing the tires...tires have been known to have a bad belt that will throw off the balance...best of luck, hope you get it addressed soon and get back to having fun!

I have a similar vibration that developed within the past few hundred miles (3800 total miles). It's the worst around 45 mph and I can noticeably see the passenger seat/buckle vibrate like you posted. Also have only a slight shake in the steering wheel.

Long time reader, first time poster. I ordered a ranger raptor last year and after sitting in a lot in Michigan for a few months I took delivery of a blue ranger raptor in April.

I currently have 1,500 miles and I've noticed a vibration at speed. I first noticed it at 900 miles and made an appointment to get it looked at. The dealership replaced a front tire and called it good but I still notice it.

I can feel a vibration in the seat at 45-55 MPH with 48 being the worst. Therebis also a very slight shakenin the stearing wheel. I attempted to get a video but i dont thinknits noticeable from a cellphone video.

The dealership changed the front passenger tire and the vibration may have shifted to a slightly higher speed but it's still there.

Before the RR I had a gen 2 raptor with method wheel and K02's and a ram rebel with stock Goodyear wranglers. I'm not expecting a luxury ride but this feels more harsh then I'd expect a offroad rig to ride.

Does anyone else have a vibration and slight wheel shake at speed?
If you haven’t had it done yet; “ROAD FORCE BALANCING.” It will detect any possible issues with an out of spec wheel/tire combination. It will also move the tire around on the wheel and precision balance it at the same time.

Regular spin balancing won’t help the issue or detect an out spec wheel/tire combination.👍🇺🇸

As others have mentioned, first step is to have all 4 wheels/tires road force balanced.
If that doesn't resolve it, it's time to move on to the drive-line. It could be driveshaft related.
