I run my truck at the recommended pressure on the door...... NOT what it

Bruiser and I had no control of the truck on the freeway until I figured
out what the problem was..... I let a bunch of air out and the truck
rode fine...... the guys who put on the tires put the air up to the max
on the tires.

Can't answer about the trailer tires, I'm still using D until I buy new
ones and will also be running Es....

Hi Hunter,

New tires have a waxy substance on them (mold release compound) that makes them feel slippery for about the first hundred miles. You can't wash it off it just has to ware off so it's best not to tow for that first few miles. Ford seems to have a habit of recommending low pressures for a softer ride… that's okay for most folks who drive around with there trucks empty.
