Post Pulling Slightly to the Right

Got a brand new 2001 XLT 4X4, and been driving it for a few days now only. It has a noticable but minor pull to the right. If I am on a straight stretch and let the wheel go, It will take me over to the right fairly quickly. Checked the tires and all are at same pressure. Any advice on what this might be and what I can do?

Take it straight back to the dealer and have them give it a front end alignment.

Have them check the alignment as NavyEOD said, unless it pulls while braking and then the calipers are bad but thats not likely. Also there is something called 'radial tire pull'(tire causes pull to one side) which can often be solved by crossing the front tires. If none of this works, they need to replace the tires cause one of them may be defective.
