Check with your dealership , there was a TSB on this

The TSB for the 2024 model is TSB 24-2099. This is the text: This article supersedes TSB 22-2444 to add 2024 model year vehicles. Some 2015-2024 transit vehicles equipped with rear wheel drive (rwd), single rear wheel (only), and u-joints at the transmission flange and rear driveshaft may experience a boom/hum/moan noise from the rear while driving. This noise is most noticeable at highway speeds: 112-121 km/h (70-75 mph) for 4.10 axle ratio 121-128 km/h (75-80 mph) for 3.73 axle ratio 136-145 km/h (85-90 mph) for 3.31 axle ratio the noise may also be present to a lesser degree at roughly half of the noted speeds. This may be due to a 2nd order driveline frequency transmitted through the rear driveshaft, rear axle and into the body through the leaf springs.
