    Check air pressure?, maybe needs to be aligned?(was it from a dealership or private sale?), if its that noticeable it probably isn't aligned.

    Take it to an alignment shop. Sounds like an alignment issue imho

    well that's good to hear it's brand new! it'll prolly just be a small alignment adjustment.

    yup...chained to a truck and jerked something...always see about getting an alignment for a vehicle before taking ownership...

    Neither of my last two Tacoma's had an alignment within spec when new...no one I know has gotten one either. Not that the dealer hasn't done it before possession was taken, but during test drive it has been off, then checked and corrected before delivery.

    I doubt some dealers check all the vehicles alignment...

    I always thought alignment was just the little metal things on the rims to make it go straight haha not that the whole wheel is inverted -.-

    Thats only your wheel balance weights. If one of those fall off you'll have a shaky steering wheel. Alignment is a more complicated beast.

    Op should get off here and take it to the dealer. It should be free since it's under warranty. Once at the dealer the OP should post more.
