Highlander drivetrain vibration

I have a new '07 V6 Highlander that exhibits a driveline vibration
right around 1800 - 2000 RPM. It's not pronounced but it is annoying
especially since that RPM is where the engine is at when holding about
60 MPH in overdrive. However, it is not speed dependent since it also
does it when holding that RPM in lower gears at a lower speed. It's
almost like a resonance that I can feel through the gas pedal and
steering wheel. It is definitely NOT the tires. Anyone else ever notice
this? I am very surprised that considering this is the same engine as
the Lexus ES330, it is not as smooth or as quiet.

I've currently fallen foul of a damaged/shattered clutch that did this. I'd
take it to a dealer to get it checked out.
