Your new truck probably needs an alignment

Easy... set your toe to .05-.10

yo tacorancher... are you getting any tire wear? did you ever get a straight answer? I cooked a brand new set of Goodyears with outer edge wear, and they blamed the Westcott collar. I've been two two shops and they can't seem to agree on how to align this thing.

Agreed. That toe is insane. I had outer tire wear with half that much toe.

Why so much toe in front

Going wear the outside edge of your tires pretty fast.

But it shows in range ?

My issue is that when I speak to the dealership people it’s like I’m speaking a different language. I can use the words we use here in this forum and I’ll get a blank stare. I’ll take it to the specialty shop.

0.5 toe is a bit much

I mean yeah its in range I guess but in what world is the spec on a stock vehicle that much toe in?

Zero toe front is pretty universal for almost all cars, idk where they're getting this spec from.

Maybe sometimes you'll see like 0.05 toe out on higher spec BMWs or something for slightly better turn in and less understeer but like 99% of street cars should just be 0 front toe.

Trucks especially should have zero front toe.
