I'm running the Sport/SXT model with *almost* the same gear in it 'cept I swapped out all the original sound system for an upgraded Pioneer CD/MP@/XM/DVD unit w/ Infinity Kappa 6.5 speakers all around.
I've had the typical "brakes shot in 10,000 miles" with this truck otherwise I have had ZERO warranty issues with the vehicle.
I'm really happy with the mechanicals and the outside sheet metal. The interior could use some real work around storage areas.
It'd be nice if they had made the rear seats fold down instead of just being able to lift up the rear seat cushions....

I test drove the truck, and it seemed to pull to the right(more than subtly). He (the seller) says he just got an alighnment, balance, and rotation. Any theories?

Could be the brake caliper binding/not releasing on that side could be something bent on the suspension.
If you're serious about this truck ask the seller if you can have an independent mechanic look it over. It's the only way you'll really know if there's something serious going on.
Oh, and it could've had a bad alignment wherever it was done....
