Would also suggest rolling all the windows down, get up to about 35mph, put it in "N", and turn if off and let it slow roll to a stop and listen very carefully. You could have a bad wheel bearing or a brake caliper.
Years ago, I had the same issue on a Landcruiser, took it into the shop told them I needed the drivers wheel bearing replaced. Was told after their test drive "It's not bad". After putting it up on the rack and using a scope to listen, they hear the bad spot in the bearing. No more vibration!

Definitely a "butt" vibration. Nothing in the steering wheel. Vibration has been there since I drove it home. Very well could be in the rearend itself.
