Am I the only one who feels like the steering wheel is centered slightly to the left of the driver seat? Not a problem, but now I think about it every time I get in. 2023 Laramie 1500.

Mine is fine because my alignment is within specs and my steering wheel is centered.

I think he means the angle the steering column comes out of the firewall, not how the wheel is clocked.

I noticed the same thing, but it doesn't apparently bother me as much as you because I forgot about even noticing that until you posted this thread. All three of the 5th gens we've owned were the same way. I didn't actually measure anything, it just felt like they weren't perfectly square with the dash.

Ah, never noticed before and still don't.

It's not the angle. The center of the wheel feels like it's a little to the left of the center of my chest. Doesn't bother my driving experience, just seems odd it's not centered to my chest. Not a big deal, just wondering if anyone else experienced the same thing.

Maybe it's chest or the way for sit? IDK. If I think about it, I'll look next time I'm in my truck. Had it for over 3 years and never noticed it.

Maybe it's so it's more comfortable to rest your arm in window sill for door and drive with left hand. Center it slightly left so it's close to window. 😆

Okay, I give. Wife says I'm losing it. After all, she knows about everything. Disregard post #1
