Whelp, like the title says just got the truck 3 days ago and love every part if it, but the damn thing pulls to the right like it needs an alignment. Has any one experienced this or what could be the cause. I know this suspension is half the reason I purchased the truck and now it pulls right? Has anyone had a bad wheel or does it just possibly need an alignment. Getting frustrated because dealership is saying they never heard of Anything like that and they just pass me along. So I hope to call the GM tomorrow morning. But wanted to check here first if this is normal or atleast heard of.

That's why I feel like I got shafted. Saw no signs of wear or tear, no mud/dirt.. Honestly it just ****** me off because they act like these trucks are gold then unnecessary people get behind the wheel and abuse them.

My 2014 pulled to the right from day one. Dealership did a new front end alignment and resolved the problem. It was out of specs from the factory, my guess is this is typical!

Mine pulled to the right a little from day 1. Still does and it's technically in spec according to the last alignment I had

Not trying to belittle anyone but sometimes due to the width of the tire if the road has wheel ruts it can cause the truck to track to one side. If it does it all the time then I would keep on the dealership.

Completely understand, but this is for sure a pull. We will see what they say tomorrow and go from there just wanted to see if it was a common mishap.

Tire pressure.... Mine was a few pounds low on the left front and it pulled bad.. Put air in it and no more pull.. Tires are so wide that even a slight descrepnsancy between sides makes it pull..

I do so much off-roading that I don't even care about aligning my truck anymore LOL

Jk...sorta. I mean, yeah there may be a slight pull but we drive trucks with big tires. Not sports cars and luxury cars

I understand I'm not looking for perfection but pulling right at 35 mph from the best factory suspension on the market.. $50,000 truck I expect it to drive in a straight line with 250 miles on it.
