The sticker on the door lists 60psi front and 70psi rear,
Why? Is the extra psi in the rear for the anticipated extra weight from hauling a load?
If so, is there a reason to use the higher psi if I am not doing any towing?
Or is there a reason to not use the 70psi front and rear just to keep things easy?

On my 2500 HD with E rated tires I usually ran around 55 lbs. unload for better ride quality and would air up when towing. But that was before TPMS. You may be tripping the TPMS light running lower pressures. I'm sure this can be changed with programming.

IMHO, they ride like schit at that air psi. Our roads are brutal around here.
Set where you like it ride quality wise - we are all different - but I prefer 45lbs or so when unloaded. When loaded, I crank them up.
BTW: I can't stand TPMS.

40* everyone comes in.
15-20*F everyone comes in again.
0*F everyone comes in again.
And f*k me ! At -15*F--20*F everyone comes in again.
Repeat !
Who's the schit bag who got rid of full service gas stations ?
