I tow all the time (full timer). I have a 6.0L '03 F250 Lariat towing a 12k# 5th wheeler, and inflate rear tires at 70psi, and the front tires at 60psi (Ford recommended). The tires are Goodrich A/T. Hope this helps.

75# all around as I haul building supplies and a trailer about 70% of the time. I also have tool boxes mounted on the bed rails.
