    Chalk line test. The trucks OEM set those pressures with the truck set at THEIR parameters. You have added stuff (even just a little bit matters) and you know your driving style and the local conditions. Find ideal with a chalk line and adjust from there.

    Don't assume that the OEM is automatically correct, even more so if you swap to tires other than what the truck came with.

    Just -sylvania ZXE on head & fog lights -the tires
    Want to add something.

    Toyota sent a letter (at least I received one) saying that if your tacoma have trd wheels and LT tires then you have a wrong tire pressure decal and should take it to a dealer to put the correct decal on it.

    Mine came with the Rugged Trail tires, which I don't remember if they are "P" or "LT".

    Now I put BFG "Mud Terrain" which are LT, and if I put 29/32 it will vibrate a lot. Put in higher pressure, don't remember how much at a tire shop and the vibration goes away. Also the "Mud Terrain" max pressure is 80 psi.

    I have a 2013 TRD Off-Road 4x4

    Factory put the extra sticker on by mistake...you think? The lower pressure would be for P rated tires, the higher pressure would be for LT's like the Baja and Pro. LT tires usually have a higher load capacity rating, but if inflated to the P rated pressure actually have a lower load carrying capacity...hence the sticker for a higher psi. You have two sets of stickers covering several sizes & ratings of tires...read your tire size and type and use the factory recommended setting for that tire.

    The OP's vehicle description lists a TX Baja. He should verify that he has the LT tires, then follow the 46 PSI recommendation. Or do the chalk test.

    Sorry ... ^^^^ what he said.
