stock alignment problem

I had an alignment done and the shop came to the conclusion my rear end is trying to go right.The trust angle is 0.20 .

The truck has 500 miles on it this should be covered under warranty right? Or is this the result of spinning the tires and such?

I just don't want the dealer saying it was my fault when it probably came from the factory like this. I don't know much about this to argue my point.

12,000 miles / 1 year BUMPER TO BUMPER warranty. Everything is covered with the exception of tires and the battery. They have their own separate warranties. Otherwise you are good to go. It don’t matter how much you have spun your tires. If they are stock then the stock suspension should have no problems and be designed to handle any little tire spinning since that’s what these trucks were originally designed to do…

Anyway, no need to argue with your dealer just flash the 12,000 / 1 year BUMPER TO BUMPER warranty in front of their face and say "Who's your daddy…"

Even the alignment is covered in the first 12/12 bumper to bumber a lot of damage can be caused during shipping. My daughter escape was so far out of line front and back that it took 3 tires down to half tread in 6000 mile dealer aligned and replaced all four tires no charge. It has been perfict ever since.
