Why is an alignment important for a 2023 Ford Ranger and what are the benefits?

• Proper alignment ensures even tire wear, which stretches the life of the tires and delays costly replacements.
• Correct alignment improves fuel economy and handling, reduces steering effort, and stabilizes towing performance for the Ranger’s towing demands.
• Alignment preserves suspension and steering components by reducing excess stress and uneven loads, lowering long-term maintenance costs.
• Having factory-trained technicians perform the service helps maintain warranty coverage and ensures settings are returned to OEM specifications.

How do you know if your wheels need alignment?

• Your vehicle pulls to one side or the steering wheel sits off-center when driving straight.
• You notice uneven or rapid tire tread wear across the front or rear tires.
• There are unusual steering vibrations, wandering at highway speeds, or noisy steering while turning.
• After suspension work, hitting a pothole, or after heavy towing, it’s wise to check alignment to avoid accelerated wear.

What is included in a 2023 Ford Ranger alignment service?

• As a guideline, check alignment every 12 months or every 12,000 miles, sooner if you tow, carry heavy loads, or drive on rough roads.
• Have the alignment inspected after any suspension repair, wheel or tire replacement, or a significant impact such as a pothole or curb strike.
• Regular checks prevent progressive wear and are a cost-effective way to protect tires and drivetrain components for the long term.
• Our service advisors can recommend an interval tailored to how you use your 2023 Ford Ranger and preserve warranty coverage.

How long does a four wheel alignment service take?
