This means that the tire does not give you a recommended psi due to its many different uses, the vehicles manufacturers placard gives you a recommended psi based on the tire size/type installed on your truck new and aftermarket if same size/type are replaced. It does not mean the your vehicles recommendation is suitable for any tire.

I recently bought a 2007 F150 S-Crew King Ranch w/ NITTO Trail Grapplers M/T 305/55/r20LT's, they are like new and would like to keep them that way as long as possible$$, anyone with a good psi recommendation? they are running 40psi when I bought truck.
