Took my truck on its first longer drive the other day and noticed the steering wheel looks like it leans a little to the left. If i hold it to where it looks straight the truck slightly bends right.

Is it possible for the steering wheel to be installed misaligned from the factory? Or could it be an illusion with the gauges?

Your steering wheel can only be installed one way. The steering wheel isn't off, your alignment is.

Definitely an alignment issue.

Mine was the same way! Super annoying. Dealer “fixed” it. Then I leveled my truck and had a local shop align it. It’s perfect now.

Check your front tire pressures. The left may be too low or the right too high. Not sure what the variance needs to be for the tpms to send an error.

Mine is also misaligned about the same amount. Factory equipment must be off. Mine was built in Dearborn on 10/07.
