Default Is this guy bull s*#•ting me??

Had a rock bounce off my hood and hit my windshield on my 2013 Lariat. While at the body shop this guy come's up to me and tells me about a problem with F150's wearing the outside of the front tires. Told me he could see I'm having the same problem, even thou I couldn't see it. Only got 3,500 miles on truck. He said he was told by Ford to rotate tires every 700 miles, I was just wondering if anyone ever heard or had this problem? Or was this guy just giving a line of B.S.

LOL This guy told me he already went through two sets of tires costing him 2 grand. Hell if I rotated my tires every 700 miles I'd be doing it every three weeks!

I have 21k miles on my truck and have only rotated the tires twice and they even across the tread. The rears seem to wear faster than the front though... probably the burnouts.

Even better....just don't drive the truck at all and your tires will last for four or five years.....must be true, I read that on the Internet.
