Yep. The Roush Stage 1 is just a GT with different bumpers, rear spoiler, wheels and some badging. Stage 2 was suspension upgrades and Stage 3 was supercharged

I guess there is a Roush Sport too but not sure what it adds. I think just a few badges and thats it
Here's a question or maybe a heads up - For anyone that owns a 23 or 24 Ford F150 FX4 with Ecoboost and 10 speed transmission, does your truck have an annoying drivetrain shake at around 25 MPH and again at 56MPH?
I've had this harmonic and barely perceptible shake since I bought the truck in September. I've had it into the dealer/service two times now. They agree the shake is there. They also instrumented the chassis and confirmed a 30hz vibration. So, they changed the driveshaft thinking isolated there but no. Truck back in the shop.... They then had the Ford factory rep take a look at it and he confirmed the issue then they drove a new truck right off the showroom and lo and behold the shake is there also..... It appears I'm at a dead end; that's just how it is.
Has anyone else seen this in their truck?

It's a known concern and there may or may not be a TSB be released in the future.
With a quality EVA (electronic vibration analyzer), a good technician should be able to determine whether it is a 1st, 2nd, or 3rd order vibration and isolate it to the root cause.

So you've seen or heard about the situation?
They did put their analyzer on it and confirmed what I was noticing. My guess is it's a first order situation with two nodes minimum. One node at 21 to 28 MPH and another at 51 to 58 MPH. It is independent of gear selection and engine RPM. It is more prevalent at coast/decel than at acceleration but in both situations it is present. The fist node is 30hz; I don't know if they instrumented for the higher speed. They replaced the rear driveshaft and decoupled the front and the condition continues.
I thought I made a case for them to commit to repair when I asked them to drive a new vehicle. The exact vibration was in the new vehicle. I drove it also and it was there.....
I asked about a TSB but none.....

I have heard about it a few times before, but never experienced personally as I'm in the aftermarket now, running a transmission shop.
A quick search typing in only; 2023 ford f150 v, vibration came right up with tons of results so your not the only one.
Surprised they didn't take the rear drive shaft out and run in in 4WD high. Even if it has a slip yoke into the trans., we have plugs just for this reason along with other uses. If that changed or eliminated the vibration, I would focus on pinion angle because you said it was more prevalent on coast/decel. So, something is moving.

Worked on my trunk some more. Got a side panel template done. I need to cut that out and make another template for the other side. They aren't a mirror Image. After that I need to track down upholstery material - carpet for the bottom to match up front and vinyl for the sides.

How do you attach the panels to the body?

All it'll need is some strategically located velcro. I want to be able to remove the panels easily in case I do a long road trip and want a spare tire.
