Steering Wheel Turned Slightly

I have a brand new 2004 Supercrew XLT.The steering wheel is slightly turned to the left when going down the road on a straight-a-way.Does anyone else have this happening to them?Is this a problem?I've been told that it's due to the grade of the road.It bugs me though!!!

Does it do it most/all of the time? If not then I doubt the "grade of the road" theory is accurate. I would have the alignment checked.

My own experiences would point to an alignment problem.

I took my truck in to my local Ford dealer for a realingment check they said everything is up to specs according to Ford,but the wheel is still turned.They suggested driving it for another 3000 mi. and then taking it back to them to check it again.Anyone have any advice?Thanks,Louie.
