I don't have anything newer then 2001 and that is my Dakota, bought used and it seems to be fairly well aligned after 8,000 miles of my use and 85k total.
I've not experienced any alignment problems I could not typically fix myself with my cheapy caster camber gauge and a little time. The stupid little gauge cost me $40.00 shipped and I've been able to keep my alignments fairly well done and tire wear at a mininum with it.
Local shops? Bah, Humbug, all they do is look at a screen and quit when it's "within specs" Even if I tell them a tire wear problem the guys are clueless. That's why I bought the gauge! I haven't been able to find anyone who seems to give a rats a$$ about quality in years. I know they are out there, but where???
