Default Pulling to the left
During normal driving it doesn't drift or pull to the left, but when I hit the brakes firmly it pulls the left. Any ideas?

Year? Model?

Sounds like your right caliper might be seized.

It could also be an alignment issue but not likely as the pull wouldn't be that hard.

maybe a dumb question, but have you checked your tire pressure?

It's a 2011 lariat. Seized? You mean like stuck somehow?

Could be seized or something wrong with the brake pads. I'd check tire pressures as be25fx4 mentioned. It's the easiest thing to try first.

Sounds like there's a difference in braking force that the left and right calipers are applying to the rotors. Does the pedal feel any different?
