tire rotation direction
Had truck serviced today at dealer with the diesel special coupon. Marked all tires like I always do and they rotated tires but not like manual shows. Backs stright forward and fronts crossed to the rear. When I questioned this they said they have not done that for years and don't know why its still that way in the manual. Said it changes rotation of the tires. So who is right the manual or dealer ?

I questioned my dealer as well.
Their rotation is LF -> LR, LR -> LF, RF -> RR, RR -> RF
I would think the only reason they do this is to reduce time involved? Similar to most locations only recheck balance when you complain about shake.

Do they rotate tires on DRW trucks? Only 3500 miles on my first DRW and I haven't given it any thought until now. I have the premium service plan so I'm sure it would have come up eventually...

For years I have always rotated my tires from rear strait forward to front. Then Front tires crossed to back.
my assumption was having the front tires spin the opposite direction every 5k miles will help eliminate chopping or “saw blading” effect that the fronts always get.
so far it has worked well for me.
2 years 20K mikes on my F250
6 years 80k miles on my f150
and all my jeeps before that
