Vibration radiates across truck.

My 2011 ford ranger does fine on short trips. It differs on longer trips around 10 miles or so. I start to feel a vibration, Similar to a very bad miss in the engine. The vibration is more apparent when braking to a stop, hard stop and soft stop. I noticed today that the driver side rear wheel was very hot to the touch. The others were very cool in relation. Any suggestions or thoughts? Thank in advance.

Problem the the drivers side rear brake is my guess, sticky caliper and possibly warped rotor.

Yes I thought I pondered those 2 things along with axle bearings and E-Brake out of adjustment causing sticking while engaged. Got lucking and it was the E-Brake. SWEET!!! No parts cost and free labor!!!
Park brake is what most would call it. Sorry that is just my way.
