Well, I'm back. 2 fabulous caribou antlers, 1 is going in my home office. 2 cooler full of meat. Memories for a lifetime. Awesome trip. But I digress.
I drove 1000 miles round trip. 4 guys (1 weighed in a 412 lbs! on the scale at the float plane dock, not me
) gear filling the cargo area of my Expedition. I think I was right at GVWR. I ran 110-120kph mostly, with a few runs up to 150-160kph. 15.5 US mpg in total. I upped the tire pressure to 55 psi all around. Upon inspection after the trip, I found no abnormal wear. The ride was great, firm, not harsh, not squishy.
Now with mostly me alone in the vehicle, I'm back to 50 psi with the same ride feel as 55 psi with the full load. I'll leave it a 50 psi.
Thanks everyone as usual for all you experience and help.
