The XLT with Fx4 shows all the tire pressures on the dash but I think you have to enable that screen in the menu.

The 42 psi was in honored of the just announced mpg rating given the hybrid by EPA.

My Sienna had 42psi (Supposed to be 36psi) as delivered too! As someone said above, that's how they're shipped. I can't argue about my dealer missing it since I literally bought it off the delivery trailer.

Max pressure will be on the tire sidewall. That should be a cold tire reading. The difference between that reading and the door reading will mean a difference of 5+/- mpg. Ford would like to see the higher figure, obviously. So they inflate to the higher figure. Also, if there is a slow leak, the truck gets a longer period of time to make it to the dealer before it is noticed, and maybe needs attention.
I always inflate to the higher figure, only at a HOT tire temp. Better handling on the street, better mileage. Learned a long time ago to NOT make this a cold tire reading, as you will gain a few more psi at speed, potentially dangerous if you meet a pothole. And as the tire ages, it will actually split between the treads. (Don’t ask me how I know!)

I took "It was off" as in "He had taken it off" maybe like others have taken things off to see what was "behind" it.
I thought the same thing until I looked at the max psi on the tire and it said 50 psi. I had the perelli with the fx4 package. Sounds like they met in the middle

Max tire pressure for my Michelin is 45PSI

my XLT w/lux shows the individual temps as well. All 4 of my tires were different when I got the truck. LOL... the front license plate holder was also upside down.

Don't go by whats on the tire. Go by whats on the drivers side door sticker which I do believe is 35 psi. cold. Also don't trust whats on the display. Buy a good tire gage.Mine were in the 40s+ when I checked mine!

I would like the softer ride at 35 psi instead of the 42 psi as received. But, the question is if I lowered to 35 psi, how much loss, if any, in mpg?
TIA!

Save your suspension. 35 psi.

I just don't understand why everyone is hyped on over inflating their tires?

Vehicle uses less fuel / accelerates faster
Firmer ride
Less tire wear (smaller contact patch)
I usually inflate mine a bit higher than the spec (~40psi) and will top up when it gets below the spec, but usually I've swapped tires by then.
