Question Truck seems to be leaning on drivers side

I have had my new Ram 1500 for two weeks its a quad cab 4X4 Laramie. The best Dodge to date love the truck. It seems with a full tank of gas and nobody in the truck or anything in the bed its leaning a bit on the drivers side. The truck does have the 32 gal. tank. Has anyone eles noticed this or had theirs back to the dealer for this problem.

I used to know an old fat boy who drove a 68 LTD and when he got out it still leaned a little on the drivers side. I think he wore out the springs! BTW Just how big a boy are you??

As it goes, mine has a slight lean to the passenger side, and there's not been many passengers so far.

I don't think it is uncommon (I have had a couple of cars do this), and unless it's more than a couple of degrees, I wouldn't sweat it.

There is always going to be a VERY slight difference between the drivers side and the passengers side, the drivers side is always going to be higher.

the truck has to compensate for the added weight of the driver
