it is a 4 year old truck (model years) it could be due to several factors: worn parts, out of balance tires, bent tie rods, hitting pot holes-curbs.
Did the dealer do an alignment or balance the tires?
as mentioned in the other post getting an alignment done would be the first course of action...

13k the tires should of been rotated twice by now. I would go somewhere besides the dealer and get an alignment they are not that much. I wouldnt trust the dealership.
