Tire Wear Issue
Put Firestone Destination A/T's on the wife's 06 F-150 Supercrew 4x4. Figured it was probably due to rotate and was shocked to see the rears half worn already! Not cupped or uneven but evenly worn down. Called my tire guy and he measured them, said new they are 11, fronts were at 10, rears down to 6 after 7,000 miles! These aren't cheap tires. Any ideas? They are 20's by the way if it matters. Put the same tires on my 4x4 Ranger and have about 1500 miles less on them, no visible difference from front to rear.

You dont have a teen son living at home do you? reminds me of the time my grandmother bought my uncle (he was 18 then) a brand new off the lot 1984 mustang gt 350. she was complaining to my pappy one day that the mustang needed new rear tires with only 10k miles on it.... we laughed about that for a while

usually not on a straight axle truck. if it were independent rear suspension yeah.
now a straight axle truck can have one side of the axle more forward or rearward but that usually happens with broken leaf springs i.e suspension components.
do the tires show any scrubbing (scuffing in the wrong direction across tread)?

No teen drivers, and no scuffing or anything abnormal other than wearing extremely fast. Will inspect rear suspension and plan to replace shocks. Bought it used a year ago, so I don't know if shocks are original or not.
