Tyre ( tire )pressures when towing.

[BIG TOED]

Hello. 2014 3.0 Icon J150. Rear tyre pressures when towing a small caravan 18 inch tyres. Chart on B post 32 psi front and rear ,even when vehicle fully loaded.

I even asked Toyota dealers !?. Does this mean no need to put rears up ? Thanks.

Trailer weight pushing down on tow bar should not be huge anyway unless its poorly balanced .

Thanks for reply. Sounds good and good to hear this from an expert.

I'm no expert the forum is just inexplicably digitally set to label people in accordance with how often they post so post 5 jokes a day and eventually you will be labelled lord chief commander expert .

You can be sure those who designed and built your caravan are experts and the recipe for correct tongue weight/balance etc is well documented .

Depends on your tyres as well.
I don't know the 150, but on my 100 the specs say 32 as well, which I find too low. At 32 I get more wear on the edges and less wear along the centre of the tyres, and a swampy drive. 36 seems to be much better as a minimum for highway driving.
