GEN 2 Pulls hard to left when in 4-wheel drive

[801Ag]

Have an 18 SCREW. I have yet to take it off-road. Yesterday weather got pretty bad so I threw it into 4A for the first time and the truck starts pulling left every time I accelerate.

I have to fight to keep it straight. Like I said it is only when I accelerate and it pulls harder the more I push on the gas. This is only when I am in 4 wheel drive. It doesn’t matter if I am going 15 mph or 65 mph.

I am thinking it is a power distribution problem but the Power Distribution screen shows both front wheels even. No warning lights have popped up either.

Anyone have any ideas? I am going to take her in next week (of course it happens on a weekend)

Mine does this as well. I have no idea if it’s normal or not.

There is a lot of torque steer when the front wheels are driven. If there was any crown on the road, that could be causing the truck to pull.

It's torque steer and happens to mine too. Obviously it's not like a full time AWD car, so man up and grab that steering wheel like a nice pair of big ******* and hold on!

I have the torsen front on mine and it will pull just a little to the right. My 2012 plain 4x4 would pull just a little also. I would not worry.

I've driven in weather mode once and did not notice any pull to either side. That said, weather mode, in addition to activating 4A, also retards the throttle response significantly.

Oh shit! It's a Democratic Raptor!!!

So you're going completely straight and level on a smooth road surface, and when you accelerate it pulls hard left and you have to fight it to keep it straight? No, that's not normal at all. Doesn't happen to me in 4A.

Yeah completely flat ground. I drove in a mall parking lot and the truck would damn near do circles on its own. The harder I accelerate the worse the pull is.

I drove another Raptor, and it pulled so hard to the right the truck actually believed Trump could have been a good President, based on his reality TV experience.
