Tire pressures on the one tons with heavier duty tires are different. Mine is 50 psi front, 80 psi rear as well.

If you don't keep the tire pressure to what it says on the door sticker, you run the risk of uneven wear, and premature failure. Don't follow what it says on the tire. Tire manufacturers don't know your vehicle specs.

Had to explain this to mother-in-law after she was found trying to cause a blowout.

Interesting. I knew the heavier trucks needed more pressure. I had no idea it would be more than double.
