Just curious, why run the fronts at max psi all the time? Is that for the expected extra weight while towing? Seems the front weight would be the same from a 2500-3500.
The sticker does say 80 psi for fronts.

Well we brought it home yesterday and I could really tell a big difference just on the short ride home. MUCH more pull from a dead stop. I can't wait to hook up the TH this weekend.
Coming home I couldn't help but feel like it needed to shift up, that'll take some getting use to. I'd guess about 500 rpm at 60 mph difference. I'd say empty mileage could take as much as a 5 mpg hit, but that's OK.
Something else too, coming from my 2500 to this I swear there's hardly any noticeable difference in the ride quality either, and I noticed ALL 6 tires were over 80 psi coming home.

So we're already thinking of trading our new toyhauler and since I'm on the upper limits of my 2500 already I'm truck shopping again.
Towing around 70 mph I usually get around a 9 mpg average with my 3.42's in all types of terrain. I'm looking at a 2018 dually with the Aisin and 4.10's. I can't imagine it getting worse, but will it ? Right now I'm only towing around 14K lbs, but that could go up considerably real soon.
Just curious on what to expect different between the two trucks from those that might have had both at one time.
Your empty mileage will take a hit, but I doubt your towing mileage will be much different. Maybe some depending on how much weight you're adding but not enough to make any financial difference relative to what you'll be spending trading for a new truck and toy hauler.
