Since purchasing new, my 2019 Ram 1500 (new body) has been pulling to the right when braking on the highway. Its not the crown of the road since the same model loaner truck did not pull. I have driven it for 5600 miles and it pulls to the right when braking on the highway. Dealers and fca are not willing to help duplicate or diagnose.
