Yes, airing down to 70 psi on washboard is something I am planning to try (keeping the speed under 40 mph as shown in that brochure).
I already had that digital gauge inflator so I took it along in the truck. A better choice is probably the Power Tank digital with a 6 ft hose which is more...
Here is the inflation pressure info for the different conditions for the military application of the 22.5 inch Goodyear G278 that is on these trucks. I have the 425s which are not shown but it should be the same as the 385s and 445s. On the highway I use 95 psi...

I gave it some thought and here is my response...
First, we have no major regrets on what we decided in terms of configuration and options on our Patagonia. Given what we knew at the time based on our past experiences we think we did the best we could to configure the truck for full time travel...
