2017 Ford F-150 2dr Regular Cab 6.5ft bed

282-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed automatic RWD

1700 mi Engine does not idle smoothly, even misses during idle. No check engine light (not enough misses) so dealer said there is nothing wrong and maybe I am too sensitive to it. If engine was doing this in a car instead of a truck, it would be unlivable. I put my own scanner on it and it indicated the manifold pressure continuously varies about 2 psi. On line forums for 3.5 non-turbo engine indicates either vacuum leak or mis-gapped sparked plugs can cause this. Disappointed in dealer. Will ask them to check again at first oil change at 5000 miles.
