Default 2015 fx4 alignment problem

I just purchased a 2015 fx4 Lariat with 19 miles on it. I have been driving it for two days and noticed it pulls hard to the left. The tires are good on air and I have not even gotten close to a pot hole.

I will be taking it to the service department on Monday.

Has anyone experienced this with their new truck?

More than likely it's a radial pull (yes new tires experience this phenomenon), swap the front tires side to side or put them on the back.

My truck did have an alignment problem. Dealership re aligned it, but I'm a little worried.

I just don't understand how a new truck can have an alignment problem.

Did it fix it? Did you ask for the alignment specs pre and post alignment?

Bought a 2014 FX4 new in Sept of 2014. Before I realized what was happening, both of my front tires were worn out on the outside of the tread pattern. Had to get new tires at 25,000 miles (supposedly 40,000 mile Goodyear Wrangler SR-As) . Got it realigned before getting the new tires. Did not take it to the dealer; didn't want to have to fight them on it.

I live in north Florida where roads are very good (very few potholes), and I had not been off road with it, so the general consensus when I posted up about this matter in another thread was that it was misaligned from the factory.

Yes and it's not uncommon, when I worked at the dealer, I did realignments on new vehicles on a regular basis. Every single one of them was toed in too much.

It's covered 12/12k but most people don't realize it's an issue until after the damage is done and then they have to pay.
