I weighed my truck's front and rear axle weights separately and then used the Tire and Rim Association recommended pressures for the tires on each axle. Actually, I went to the next higher pressure on the tables just for a little insurance. For my truck that comes to 40 psi front and 35 psi rear. At those pressures my truck rides pretty well.... not like my Taurus, but decidedly better than with the Ford recommended pressure. When I hook up to the fiver, it's another story. I then inflate to the maximum sidewall recommended pressure. My next outing I'm going to weigh the trucks axles again with the fiver in tow and the fiver axles also. Then I'll adjust the pressures on all my tires to meet my exact needs. YMMV!
