Default Front End Alignment

With 63K miles, on my 2015, I have a set of Michelin Defenders on order to replace the OEM Hankooks. I took it to a shop that has a Hunter Hawkeye Elite alignment machine, and they told me they could not align my truck, because they didn't have the software for lane departure, collision avoidance, and adaptive cruise control. Has anybody else had this issue?

i had an issue where none of the places by me had a machine that could accommodate the 157" wheelbase. They said it was too long for their machines. So i took it to the dealer and had them do it but I feel like it still pulls a little to the right.

Mine drives straight, and I don't have any tire wear issues, but I wanted the alignment checked.


Since my original post, I found this video, very informative:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zauOjoh7tBI&feature=youtu.be

Last time I had the local Ford dealer do my alignment, it went from pulling right to pulling left. I brought it over to my usual shop a couple days later and the alignment was so F'd up. They showed me the before and after and whatever the dealer did was not even close.

I also have a 157" but havent had an issues finding a place. I've never been told its too long. Seems weird since basically every crew cab HD pickup is going to be at least that long if not longer and they need alignments too.
