Alternative to Ford compressor?

So it is not known what the recommended on road PSI is for the factory tires? Interesting, I had assumed it was 35 but reading y'all talk about it I'm realizing that was basically a baseless assumption.

Hopefully there will be a sticker on the door with that info. It'll most likely be different than the tire manufacturer's recommended pressure.

Went for a ride this morning where we hunt turkeys and take the atv’s. Aired down to 16 and then aired back up when we were done to 38. I normally just air up to 36 but the gauge only goes by 5 lbs so I stopped when it said 40. It was actually 38 from the gauge I frequently use. So that was 22lbs of air at 5 minutes and 5 seconds. Roughly 4.5lbs of air a minute. The compressor gets hot like my smitty built did but it never quit and was really quiet comparatively. The air gun that came with my kit does not have a way to keep it constantly on so I tied a wire tie on it so I didn’t have to hold the trigger the whole time. I think the 400 would be faster by about a minute but it also will have a cool down cycle that I didn’t want. We timed all 4 tires and they were all the same. My CO2 tank airs my tires from 18-36 in one minute. Close to 5x faster but I have to get it filled once or twice a year for 20$ a pop.

On my Taco I can bring my 285s from 15 to 32 psi in less then ten minutes with my twin arb compressor. Depending on temperature it’s right around a 90 count per tire. I love having mine hard mounted in place of the bed cubby, but it’s definitely a luxury. On the flip side not keen on it being exposed to the elements all the time.
Not sure where I’ll go with the Bronc.

There are lots of air compressors to pick from. I just got a new one and will post how well it works. It is hard to compare because everyone has different size tires and different start and finish pressure.

Got my son a Viair 300P for Christmas, he runs 32's on his 4Runner, we aired them down to 10 psi and it took the compressor 2 1/2 minutes to air back up to 35 psi. Did the test twice and got the same results.

Anyone have experience with this compressor? https://superflowair.com/collections/tire-inflators/products/mv-89g-air-compressor
