The steering wheel on my 2025 Ranger raptor is angled just a bit to the left when going straight I’m wondering if it’s an alignment issue or something with the steering rack?
Any ideas to what could be the cause of this

I went through that multiple times with the dealership. I’d get it aligned and the wheel would be crooked again just a few miles down the road.
I ended up going to Discount Tire and they got the alignment done right, and I’ve had zero problems with it in 3 months.

Roads are not level they are sloped to the outside curbs/ditches. naturally making any vehicle pull to outside(right) meaning you have to turn left slightly. unless alignment was outside specs, the slope and crown of road is likely culprit

I thought about that, but it was crooked in driveways, parking lots, everywhere. In fact, I felt the wheel slip out of place when I drove off the lot. Ford told me they couldn’t get to it again for 2 weeks. I took it to Discount Tire 2 days after Ford aligned it and the specs were worse than when I took it to Ford in the first place. DT got it almost perfect, and checked 3 months later and it’s the same.

Does it change at all depending on which lane you're in? If you're a bit to the left it could be as a result to the crown that all roads should have.
