Designed that way or...pure baloney?

My '03 3500 SRW 4 x 4 Quad drifts too much to the right. I find myself holding what a pilot might call slight left aileron in order to track straight down the highway. It's not the crown because this happens when I switch to the oncoming lane too. The Dodge service guy says the trucks are designed this way to keep them from drifting into the wrong lane and having a head-on collision. I think the dealership doesn't want to mess with warranty work. What do others think?
