All these big turds have a lot of scrub at max steer, especially the 4x4. Is yours all wheel drive?
Toe by itself can help a little, as it reduces scrub at max steer. The trade-off is a muddy feeling in the steering wheel, and eventually tire wear across the tread or even the other edge.

Need to see pics of the alignments you have paid for. Post pics of the before and after printouts. You say is a 2016, 8-9 years old, but no mileage? No worn parts? I very much doubt that. This is all guesswork without seeing the before and after printouts. Plus, inspecting the steering/suspension steps should be discussed. What air pressure is recommended and what air pressure do you have?

All I’ve got handy at the moment is the most recent one. 80,000 miles. New shocks, upper control arms, and sway bar linkages at 50k miles. 35psi(recommended) was what I was running 99% of the time. There is zero play in the tie rod ends.

I’m just confused because according to this my toe was on the lower end of the spectrum which should cause the opposite problem with my tires. If it is being caused by the toe, wouldn’t the adjustments the alignment shop made make the problem worse?

I think that’s part of my problem. I rarely ever get on the highway and I make a lot of turns on a regular basis. I think I’m just gonna have to end up rotating these tires every few thousand miles. And, yes it is 4x4 but not AWD.

Looking at the alignment sheet, it appears you were already toed out beyond spec...should feel better driving now, but I don't expect the tire wear to improve. The caster and camber are already where I thought I'd put them, probably exactly for the same reasons too. <shrug> It yam what it yam, and 'at's all what it yam.
