I have a little over 200 miles on my truck and I love it too. I can't hear the motor even running, no interior noise, no real rattles, and looks awesome. Its such a cool truck and if I didn't buy this I defenitly wouldn't be buying another truck since none of the others I think can compare.
I do however have the vibration and it drives me nuts. I seems to get a little better the more you drive, and I see in the TSB it says to put on at least 20 miles on it before testing. I find that absurd since most people that comute in these trucks don't travel that far. I want to break the truck in a little bit before I bring it in for repair. With all those problems that it could be is ablsolutly amazing, and I hope it doesn't take 6 months for them to fix it.
On a side note, I drove my mitsubishi eclipse today and it was smooth as slick no matter what speed I was at. Ok so maybe thats a car vs a 4x4 truck, but I took my 20ft Dodge Van with a full RV conversion and that also rode 1,000,000 times smoother.
Very unfortunate for us who want nothing more than to love our trucks like the rest of you, but have to be pestered by such an anoying vibration.

I actually had a vibration issue too.... I was able to solve my problem easily without the hassle of dealerships and ford reps and whatever! I was just determined one day so i got a screw driver walked out to my truck and told my self i wasnt giving up till the vib was solved!!! After many hours of searching I discovered vib coming from the directly behind me seat.... I wasnt sure how to fix it so i tried everything!!! Come to find out all i had to do was turn the gain down on my amp and instantly no more vibration!!!!! 
Seriously though my truck is perfect in my opinion and i believe it to be worthy of the praise from motot trend!
