While recently towing a trailer it is worse but is now happening without the trailer attached. When accelerating at low speeds between 40-60km/h there is a shuddering coming through the accelerator pedal and can slightly be felt through the whole car.
If you back of the accelerator off the shuddering eases off, if you put the pedal to the floor it's worse.

Hello,

This could be a couple of things. It could be bad wheel bearings but I would recommend first checking your vehicle's U joints. Here are links to guides explaining how to check each of these below:

Please go through these guides and get back to us with how everything turns out. Sorry we couldn't be more specific, but it looks like you are coming to us from Australia, and our reference guides only list U.S. vehicle's.

Thanks,
