Since the Ranger is electric assist steering, as is my 2016 MKX, the word calibration enters the picture as to how much assist is offered under various conditions. At lease the OP had the alignment checked. I really do not see much difference between my Ranger and my Lincoln CUV. My opinion is electric assist is superior to the old hydraulic assist... And electric steering does some "weird" things like shake the steering wheel when in Lane Assist for example...What did you own previously? If you went from a very tight steering car to the Ranger, it will feel a bit looser than a smaller car or CUV. I went from a very tight steering car to the Ranger and it took a good week of driving before it became the "new norm".
Best,
