So I was looking at the door sticker for tire pressures.... 60 psi front, 65 psi rear. This is on a 2019 2500 6.4
F250 I just traded in on it was like 65 front, 70 or 75 rear if memory serves. Tire sizes same on both. Thoughts.

Hmm it's possible they lowered it. It's been 75-80 in the front and 80 in the rear

Load range E

Very strange.
Is it possible you don't have a HD truck? I don't know if there is even one that isn't HD.

If the sidewalls say 80psi max you don't get full load ability of the tires at lower psi.

As a matter of fact under filling when at max payload could cause a blowout - cause; excessive flexing of sidewalls and heat

It’s a 2019 2500 tradesman. 10,000 gv so it’s a HD

There is a Ram customer care person here someplace.

I'd ask them. Let us know what you find out.

It's worth a shot I guess, but I'm going to predict they would respond with a "we recommend you make an appointment with your dealer" generic response.
