Ford F-350 SWR, long bed, King Ranch. Purchase date: 6/20/2022, new. Problem with this truck is steering wander. While traveling extra attention has to be given to the location of the truck.

I pray I don't hit a pedestrian or cross over the yellow line into another vehicle. Since 2011 I have purchased 2 F150's, 1 F250, 3 F350's. None of the previous models and …
