2016 g 550 engine vibration at 1500 & 2200 rpms in neutral - park?

I have a 2016 G550 One owner with 21,000 miles. Getting vibrations, so replaced steering stabilizer as well as new alignment and tires road force balanced through dealer and it’s significantly helped with vibration in seat and steering wheel. But noticing at 1500 RPM‘s and 2200 rpm’s a vibration. While driving at 1500 RPM’s and take my foot off the excelerator pedal vibration goes away, same at 2200 rpm’s. So I put the vehicle in neutral slowly rev the vehicle to 1500 and engine shakes and same at 2200 rpm’s. Dealer said they checked motor mounts and transmission mount and they are fine. Any ideas on what this could be or has anyone else experienced this?

I feel like I saw another user have the same issue. Im looking on the forum to find the link and share but i would recommend searching other posts here for your solution.

Keep in mind too that G-wagons in general aren't as stable compared to other cars. Eventually over time you get used to the shaking. We all have them one way or another lol.

I get steering wheel shake at exactly 55-60 mph but that's about it.

Hi Joe. I just bought a similar model with 23k miles and have the same issue. Will be taking it in to MB for checkup. Did you ever diagnose what was wrong with yours?
