But you'd keep your fillings in your teeth! 80psi unladen on the back tires of ANY pickup is torture. May as well put flint stone wheels on!

The door sticker on my F150 says 55 psi in front and 65 psi in rear. My OEM tires are LT245/75R17 LRE.
I haven't found the need to change then when towing. It pulls my relatively light weight (4990 gvwr) trailer just fine.
These pressures are Ford's recommendation, and what I used when I upgraded from the Ps to LT-E Michelin LTX MS/2s on my 2011 F150. The tires wore evenly and well, with the usual tire rotations, until I sold the truck.
You get used to the crisper ride. Am currently running 60/80 on the new HD truck. If I went back to a softer tire I'd probably think something was wrong.

Go by the door sticker. Air up for towing. You're going to think it's a different truck when you do tow.

Better than the sidewall (which is max pressure, and will be a hard ride on a half ton), download the weight rating chart from GY. Know your axle weights, and air your tires to meet or exceed that weight. Scale your weights with and without trailer, so you know your towing and empty pressures... or just aim for the higher of the two.
too much pressure results in less than optimal tread <> surface contact, and will lead to uneven wear, just as bad as too little pressure. for example, center tread balding before the edge tread.
