I would forget the vehicle makers door sticker psi as they have no idea how much load any truck will carry which may be at the lower GVWR/tire placard rating or full RAWR/tire loads which may be a couple of thousand lbs more.....like my truck.
If you were to load a DRW truck at the rear tire ratings, your rear axle would be carrying 50-60% more than the axle is rated for and the GVWR exceeded by 80-100%. There is simply no argument that such a load could ever be safe. DRWs have a lot of excess tire capacity.
To the OP, I would use the door sticker ratings. For my SRW it is 75 psi front and 80 rear, for a DRW it would normally be the same in the front and 65 psi rear. DRW trucks have more tire capacity in the rear than the rest of the truck could ever handle, 65 psi will be plenty.
