Default 2013 Vibration at idle in gear

I have an 08 BUT a work colleague asked me to look at his 2013 3.6L with 27k on it. He says its a weird vibrating but only when he is at idle in gear. Ran fuel injector fluid, cleaned throttle body, don't think it's a mount or misfire, converter, or axle issue. Gonna take a closer look at in on monday for him but only when you are at a traffic light or stop sign the entire interior feels and sounds like it is shaking and vibrating more than I've ever felt my 08 do. Spark plugs look fine too. It's almost like a very low idle but too low.

Like I said, I'll bring some tools on monday and take a closer look but any ideas before I get in too deep with a work friend. Thanks as always for the advice.

Check items in the rear cargo area hatch.

Just an update. This was solved by the lower transmission motor mounts being loosened and then re-centering and re-torquing. The motor would move slightly and causes the mount to touch metal. I couldn't figure it out. An off road performance shop completed the repair. Said it took less than 30 minutes. Just wanted to update the thread in case someone else comes across.
