It is a 2013 limited el
the front vibrates at any speed, you can feel it in the seats, sterring wheel, floor, etc
I had the tires balanced, and rotated ( no diffierence )
Dealer is getting it today for one more look over

By the way this is my 2nd expedition ( but my first EL )

are the tires true and in round? How much weight are they balancing with? What about the rim, rim true? have you hit anything? Alignment, is it in spec? What tire? How long did it sit on the lot before you purchased? Are you sure it's the front end, how are you sure it is the front end? Are you sure it's the tires and not a bad u-joint? Bad CV or u joint can cause just what you said.

Were they Road Force Balanced ?

My 06 F150 with 20" Pirellis would make the steering wheel shake until I had this done. It made a BIG difference.
