Are all 4 wheels on the 4th gen Expedition adjustable for alignment purposes, or just the 2 fronts?

My '19 Expedition tracks left when the wheel is centered. I believe there is a 12mo/12k mile warranty on alignments, however I could get a 2-wheel alignment from a local shop for $60 instead of the hassle of dropping my car off at the dealer. If I need a 4-wheel alignment, though, the $120 charge from the local shop is high enough that I'd just let the dealer deal with it.

I would assume the rears can be aligned as most vehicles esp FWD and independent rear suspension have been for quite some time.

You often don't really need a 4 wheel or 4 wheel thrust as they call it, but they will try to get you to pay more.
They do hook all four wheels up even for 2 wheel alignment on most machines that are not antiques and if the rear is way off it might prevent a good front one.

My 2014EL had 4 wheel alignment at the dealer right after I bought it. I feel it was worth it, tires are expensive. It tracks and brakes straight and true and the tires wear so evenly I can avoid rotations if I wanted to. I have a good dealer, so that's why I went there. A good independent shop would be good too. Think it was about $120.

I had my alignment checked at 500 miles with its first oil change and took a minor adjustment zo they didn't charge me for a full alignment. I had it re checked when the struts were changed and everything was good. I had a local shop do it because I'm no fan of our local dealer.
