My Ford Ranger is almost immune to this. But if you compare the two vehicles, you can't compare them. The Crossfire is intended stay stable in curves, it has more camber, it has independent suspension and wider tires than the pickup.
If the pull is ALWAYS there, then look at tire pressure, alignment, tire condition, a hung-up brake and steering stabilizer. (THat means just CHANGE the stabilizer.)
If it's fine on good quality roads designed for speed (like I40), then it's fine, it's the damn roads.
one way to correct for the crown of our roads on left hand drive Mercedes cars as we have here in the USA driving on the right of the road, is to increase the castor on the right front wheel by about one degree above specs. This is a common alignment correction on Mercedes automobiles. which has proven effective.
