Many pickups I've seen are speced between 35-40psi Front and 50-70 Rear(depending if a small pickup or something in the F-350 category). As long as your tires are LT classification you can run those higher rear pressures.
....now to do something about our church 3500 Ram Wagon - after a local flat, the pastor's local mechanic sold and installed PASSENGER tires on the rear of that thing, with a cold max of 44 or 51psi! The 2000 Dodge itself specfies 45psi front and 80 rear. The tires are the correct OEM size, just the wrong designation(should be LT). I cannot put over 45psi in the rears and it's a dangerous situation. The van is used locally all year, but twice yearly it is driven on 100 mile round trips, to women's functions, etc., fully occupied.
Half of our congregation gets govt. assistance so it's a really poor church without a lot of money to spend frivolously, but I don't know how those passenger-designated tires got on the rear end of that van!
