Assuming stock or close to stock tire size for your truck, 60psi front/40psi rear is a good starting place.
I rarely take the rear tires over 40psi unless towing really heavy or heavy load in the bed.

Your truck is about 8000lbs round numbers and 5000 +/- on the front and 3000+/- on the rear, unloaded.
