Ever since I picked up new 2012 Raptor from dealer about a month ago the truck has been pulling to the left ever so slightly. The red center mark is almost to the fuel gauge when on flat straight highway. Approx 1-2 degrees. Two mechanics at dealer rode with me and said yes it needed alignment but head mechanic said I ws crazy. Dropped off at dealer and supposedly they sent it out. Came back that alignment "was within factory specs".
Am I crazy or should I continue this battle????

Yup sounds about right. I keep knocking my alignment out all the time for a year now. But when im off roading. My problem was also that my ball joints went out but it shouldnt be your problem cause its new.
Ford should fix it

The head mechanic did 11 miles on his own but wouldn't go with me when I came back. Sent another mechanic who agreed with me that truck pulled. They are now saying the alignment shop said nothing is wrong. I am almost ready to take it to an alignment shop on my own.

Nice to know I am not crazy.....at least when it comes to uinderstanding my truck. Alignment was off as I predicted. Immediately drove to dealer with report in hand - told them they needed to go find another alignment shop. Service manager couldn't have been more embarassed. Made copy of report and bill and promised to make things right with me. Either a couple free oil changes or reimburse the $73 I paid. I'd rather the oil changes
