    Bad tire maybe? Have you rotated them? Just wondering if one of the right ones being worn more would make it pull to the right...

    Take your truck to a different shop and have them confirm that the alignment was done correctly.

    Mine pulled right from the start. Did the alignment thing and still pulling right. What finallt did it for me was endless play with tire psi. Took a while and alot of patience but now smooth sailing!

    Mine is doing the same. But I have a brand new 09. I bought it with 18 miles on with the Bridgestone Duelers 684II, swaps those out at 350 miles, now I have a pull to the right. Before the new tires no pull, after new tires I have a pull. The tires are Michelins Cross Terrains. Same size tire as stock with the same stock wheel. I bought the tires at Costco, had them rebalance and rotate the tires, still the same. Yesterday, I took it to the dealer, sure enough, the alignment was off, performed a alignment. Today, it still pulls to the right and now my steering wheel is off to the left. I called the dealer, they said to bring it back in. Anyone else have issues like this?

    when i got new tires at sears, yes sears (dad payed for work I did) It took them 3 times to get the alignment right. I have to go back in since I changed the rear leafs and I'm probly going to lower the front just a bit and I pull to the right.
    Hope they get it right lol.Im still on their alignment "warranty" so It's free, but after this I'm going to a real alignment shop.

    Well I took it in for a second time for the alignment. I think it still pulls slightly to the right. I've tried it in parking lots and it seems ok. But when I get up to 60-70 on the freeway, center lane, it still slightly pulls to the right. Am I crazy? Tire pressure is all the same. I know roads have somewhat of a crown to them, but I don't remember the pull like this in my 06 Tacoma I had. I'm thinking about asking Costco to swap out the tires. Does anyone else have issues with pulling to the right?
