2020 Steering

2020 F250 6.7, 2700 miles. Was on a long drive today and truck had a hard pull only at highway speeds. Once I made it to the local slower speed roads, the pull disappeared. Steering was definitely harder turning left vs right. Is this the norm for the new steering?

Im going to say not normal. Have you checked tire pressures manually with a gauge? I'm Guessing a tire issue, a crown in the road or front end alignment to start with.

No sir. It felt similar to my 2015 when I installed a Fox SS and the pressure was too high causing a right pull.

Still having this issue after 2" level, Kelderman SS, alignment and 2.0 caster cams installed. I removed the dual SS and it was worse....almost seems as if it is the electric steering adjusting for crown of road.....

Do you have adaptive steering?

Could be tires? Apparently Goodyear pulls to the left...

what are you air pressures and type of tires?

Now the term " pulling " to me is when brakes are applied and the truck pulls left or right.. But driving and the truck "drifts left or right " can narrow down your issue

Okay my 2020 has the same issue but only randomly. The pull is to the left and if you turn the wheel right there is very little effort required. The dealer was able to duplicate it and the Ford helpline has instructed them to replace the box and the electric assist. The parts are on back order until November until then I was told they reset the module and to drive it. The issue has happened a few times since and it feels like a low tire would, it grabs and pulls rather hard. The worst so far was when exiting at highway speed and the truck want to pull me into the other lane.

That's exactly my issue, except mine is right....How do you reset the module?
